Love'll take the chill off your chili !!!
The CD soundtrack from the movie Down With Love gives you a great selection of music from the motion picture to enjoy over and over again. The CD contains classic hits by titans like Sinatra, Xavier Cugat and Michael Bublé. Marc Shaiman also contributes some instrumental tracks from the film which were used as musical backdrops for certain scenes. The CD opens with "Down With Love" performed by Michael Bublé and Holly Palmer. They sing wonderfully and the big band orchestration offers great use of the horns and strings sections. But that's just the beginning. Frank Sinatra sings "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)" as Count Basie and His Orchestra swing so well. Count Basie gives this number a great big band-type arrangement that glistens and glows more brightly than pure gold! Xavier Cugat and His Orchestra then perform an early 1960s sounding Latin rendition of "One Mint Julep." Xavier's orchestra also gives this number a big band flavor as the percussion, strings and horn sections all chip in to produce a flawless musical arrangement. This'll take the chill off your chili!!! Michael Bublé also performs a romantic, swinging rendition of "For Once In My Life;" and Michael sings "Kissing A Fool" to perfection. The piano on "Kissing A Fool" infuses this ballad with a deep romantic element; Bublé's diction is perfect as well. Astrud Gilberto performs a reprise of "Fly me To The Moon (In Other Words)" with her usual hallmark style of singing flat. However, for some reason that I can't quite put into words, Astrud always sounded wonderful anyway. Her voice on this number is rich and full of true passion; perhaps this is what made her singing flat so very attractive anyhow. Throughout the CD Marc Shaiman adds instrumental tracks that served as musical backdrops to the scenes. Marc writes well and the music remains enjoyable even if you've never seen the film. The CD ends with Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor singing the finale, "Here's To Love." The playful arrangement for both the musicians and the singers hits you with a certain POW! as they sing with all their hearts. The CD also offers a video of Renée and Ewan performing "Here's To Love" in crisp, clear color. You also get hyperlinks to the web site for the movie as well as the ability to get news updates for the actors who played the principle parts in the movie. In addition, the liner notes offer great art work of both Renée and Ewan, playing Barbara and Catcher respectively. You get the song credits, too. People who enjoy soundtrack CDs from the movies will enjoy this CD, especially if they have seen Down With Love. Even if you haven't seen the movie, you will enjoy this CD if you like standards like "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)" and the great talents of the 20th century including Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Xavier Cugat.

Good Songs Good CD
Even though Marc Shiman's score was pretty intrusive to the overall effect of DOWN WITH LOVE, the soundtrack's songs are pretty indicative of the film's spoof of those 1960s comedies of the sexes. This is a very good soundtrack and quite enjoyable for repeated playing. I really enjoyed this one. Fly me to the moon!

Wonderfully Retro
This soundtrack is great! The integration of old favorites, like Sinatra and Gilberto with newer singers - Holly Palmer and Michael Buble as well as Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger make for an awesome compilation. A must hear CD.

Great Soundtrack but Incomplete (Garland?)
Having seen this film on DVD last night, I was anxious to go to Amazon.Com and order the CD Soundtrack. However, it is very disappointing to see the omission of the Judy Garland track Down With Love, especially since it played such an important role in the film. The creative forces and decision makers who developed the soundtrack made a mistake by excluding this track.

Plain Ditsy
There is no other way to describe this soundtrack other than ditsy. I absolutely loved the movie and it's retro look and feel.I bought the soundtrack for the score rather than the songs, even though Renee and Ewan's song is fun, the score is a blast! It's the third major character in the movie, in my opinion.Not the meatiest of soundtracks but definitely one of the more fun ones out there.
