Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Director Garry Marshall's movie about two mentally challenged folks navigating the waters of love features a slapdash collection that's simply all over the place. The movie's star, Juliette Lewis, brings home a version of Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen's "Come Rain or Come Shine." It ain't Billie Holiday, but you were expecting what? The Lemonheads do the same to Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" (which actually scored them a minor alternative hit). The Soup Dragons fare far better with their cover of the Rolling Stones' "I'm Free" (which was also a hit several years ago). Diane Warren makes her obligatory songwriting showcase with "Loving You Is All I Know," which is delivered with typical vibrato by Chrissie Hynde. Blues shouter Joan Osborne is draped in strings for "At Last." Add in alt-rockers Fastball and neo-trad country gal Alison Krauss, and you've got a sloppy, oddball stew. --Rob O'Connor

4.0 out of 5 stars At Last - something from Joan Osborne, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

I only bought this cd because Joan Osborne contributes. I was familiar with the "At Last" tune recorded by Etta James - but Joan's new interpretation was more than I bargained for - simply wonderful! Joan's voice is so strong and bluesy - I'll put this cd in, select the track for "At Last" and just leave it on repeat... If for any other reason, get this cd for Joan's classic "At Last."

4.0 out of 5 stars Alison!, November 29, 1999

By	Jenessa Jacobson (Montana, USA) - See all my reviews

I love the song "When You Say Nothing At All!" It is a very romantic song and fits the movie great. I also like Danny & Carla's Theme cuz it best describes their times together. I suggest getting this CD to many people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Set the repeat button, June 25, 2001

By	V. VanCamp "lovesbookslovesmusic" (Ithaca, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great soundtrack! "The Animal Song" and "I'm Free" are fun; "Loving You is All I Need" and "When You Say Nothing at All" are so sweet and "At Last" is just beautiful! The whole album is wonderful, but these are the ones that stick out for me. I find myself setting the repeat option and listening to the album over and over again. These are great songs to sing along with and my husband and I dance to "When You Say Nothing at All" - we love that song! A bonus on this album is that Juliette Lewis sings "Come Rain or Come Shine." She does well, though she need not quit acting! Overall, a great soundtrack that brings back the feeling of the movie.
