Noted English screenwriter Richard Curtis makes his directorial bow with this romantic comedy that follows the dizzying foibles of no less than a dozen couples, featuring a cast that includes Hugh Grant as a bachelor British PM and Billy Bob Thornton as a disturbing hybrid of the worst of Clinton and Bush. Seemingly taking its lead from Bridget Jones's Diary and its sequel (both of which Curtis also wrote), Love's rich, eclectic collection of pop songs becomes something more than mere movie-soundtrack wallpaper. Indeed, tracks as disparate as Joni Mitchell's hauntingly autumnal remake of "Both Sides Now" and the Pointer Sisters' effusive '80s hit "Jump" function somewhere between supporting player and narrative Greek chorus. It's a mature, often introspective collection that mixes the expected chestnuts (the Beach Boys' evergreen "God Only Knows") and covers (Eva Cassidy's stately version of Christine McVie's "Songbird," an R&B-infused take of "All You Need Is Love" by Lynden David Hall) with standout work from Norah Jones (a torched-up "Turn Me On"), Texas (the Dusty Springfield-esque dramatics of "I'll See It Through"), and Wyclef Jean's joyous "Take Me As I Am." Underscoring the film's Christmas subtext are three holiday-themed bonus cuts by Otis Redding, Billy Mack (the film's resident rock star burnout, played by Bill Nighy), and Olivia Olson. --Jerry McCulley

product was new in package. Delivered timely. Music is great. Good choice for a romantic evening.3) I Actually Love it [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The soundtrack to the wonderful movie "Love Actually" is wonderful as stand alone music. Very well recorded and with nice soundstage for the genre, this is enjoyable music that is easy to listen to and presents a broad range of styles. Well worth owning.4) Love actually is all around you! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you haven't had the chance to see this delightful, heart-felt Christmas comedy, you've missed a milestone in romantic story-telling! This is a wonderful (albeit British) romance, set in a yuletide atmosphere. As more Americans actually see this film, it will eventually become a modern-day Christmas tradition. Enjoy! Love actually is all around you! js P.S. The above review relates to the film. The soundtrack sets you reminiscing about the romantic scenes in the film!5) Best Soundtrack! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Has all the great songs from the movie. You are getting the real deal with it!
