Despite accompanying a comedy with a nicely hot-cha-cha premise--Sigourney Weaver and
Jennifer Love Hewitt as gold-digger con artists--this soundtrack disc offers very little in the way of truly saucy music. Besides
Alison Krauss's take on "Baby, Now That I've Found You," three
Antonio Carlos Jobim classics performed by
Astrud Gilberto,
Sarah Vaughan, and a stiff
Susannah McCorkle are about the only suggestion of real sex here. The
What Women Want CD offered
Sinatra and
Bennett, so why the third-rate lounge-act version (by Michael Andrew and Swingerhead) of "The Best Is Yet to Come" included here? That's not to mention the snooze-inducing singer-songwriter tracks (
Shawn Colvin, Inara George & Bryony Atkinson) that amount to musical non sequiturs. A puzzling album, at best.
