CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Mel Gibson may learn What Women Want by listening in on their thoughts, but it doesn't take an eavesdropper to know what moviegoers expect in a romantic-comedy soundtrack. Nancy Meyers, the movie's director and soundtrack album executive producer, has compiled an interesting mix of old and new, borrowed and blue. The emphasis is on the pre-rock age of big-band swing, whether it's performers from that era or others emulating them. Three cuts from Frank Sinatra (arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle) and entries from Sammy Davis Jr., Nancy Wilson, and Tony Bennett sew up the soulful crooning of the velvet age. Lou Rawls and the Temptations replace their modern soul grooves with lush orchestrations that perfectly fit the mood. Only teeny-dance-bopper Christina Aguilera and alternative rocker Meredith Brooks, who chime in with a couple of recent hits, sound woefully out of place. --Rob O'Connor Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHow could you go wrong with this music? Tony Le | 12/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "OK, I don't exactly own the CD yet, but I saw the movie last night. Throughout the movie I thought "I gotta get the soundtrack." Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson - how could you go wrong. A classy, jazzy, romantic soundtrack. I'd give it six stars if I could." A taste of Sophistication, Romance and Excitement! Tony Le | Redwood City, CA USA | 01/02/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The only thought that came to my mind when I watched this movie was "I *have* to get this soundtrack!" I recommend this soundtrack to those who don't even like Jazz... it is the must have for dates, parties, or driving in the car. The movie was fantastic and I truly believe it was because of this soundtrack! It's a great touch of spontaneity for the guys and a great touch of soft and soothing music for the women. It's a great combination of music and a great collection at that! Buy it, listen to it and enjoy it! You won't be disappointed!" Sound Track Perfectly Complements the Film Jill Clardy | Redwood City, CA USA | 02/06/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Other than some hysterical scenes and plenty of close-ups of Mel Gibson, the most remarkable feature of the film was the sound track. The songs were carefully woven together to support the story and build a feeling of timelessness. The cosmopolitan, erudite character played by Mel Gibson is hopelessly out of touch with what women want, as were the fellas of the "Rat Pack" era. The vintage songs place us right back in that era when "men were men" and women were ornamental. I haven't taken the CD out my player since I got in December, playing over and over Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, The Temptations, Lou Rawls, and Peggy Lee. I can't wait for the movie to be released in video; I'll be one of the first buyers."
