Amazon.co.uk Review
Such is the savvy and ingenuity of the team behind Love Actually, the accompanying soundtrack knows its target demographic and seizes it by the throat. Dido, Norah Jones and Gabrielle in addition to a latter-day makeover of the all-woman anthem "Jump" performed here by Girls Aloud, make this a shrewdly chosen body of great music. In addition to this, who can forget Billy Mack's hark back to the success of Four Weddings and a Funeral with his seasonal rendition of the Trogg's (and Wet Wet Wet's) "Christmas is all Around". Love Actually is great fun and will undoubtably be a hit at office parties across the land; the only drawback is the conspicuous absence of Robbie Williams. --Georgina Collins

5 out of 5 stars If you love the film get the soundtrack!!!!   February 21, 2004

I loved the film and unlike most Romantic comedies, where the soundtrack often fails to deliever with typical soppy ballads plonked in the movie, this soundtrack does justice to the movie. This soundtrack was complied with care, the tracks fit the moment in the movie adding greatly to the film, and the soundtrack makes you remember the movie fondly. Even though it contains many Christmas songs its still something to listen to throughout the year.

I specifically bought this soundtrack for the track 'All you need is love'... which is so fabulous that I shall be walking down the aisle to it on the arm of my new husband. Its such a fun version of the beatles track. As for the rest of the album, its fab too. I loved the film and every track conjures up happy, funny and sad feelings from the movie. If you loved the film - buy it! If you're getting married - buy it!


5 out of 5 stars The UK version is better than the US one!   December 4, 2006

I fell in love with this movie when it first opened in theaters and I loved all the music in it, including the score, and particularly the bit where Colin Firth proposes to Aurelia. But when I bought the CD here in the US, all it had what the popular pop stuff! (I guess they figured Americans wouldn't appreciate the beautiful instrumental music? Probably right actually.) You guys in the UK got the whole deal. It will be well worth the overseas shipping!!


5 out of 5 stars Its Very Good, Actually.   December 6, 2003
18 out of 23 found this review helpful

The soundtrack to one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year was always going to be a big deal. This lives up to expectations with an absolutely sterling cast of performers. Having seen the movie, most of the music can be heard at one point or another, and the songs have been chosen to reflect the scenes from the film.

The first track is the cover of 'jump' by Girls Aloud, this could never be as good as the original which is featured in the movie but nevertheless its a fair stab at a real feel good song.This is followed by the superb remix of the sugababes song 'too lost in you', a forthcoming single remix its sensual sound fits in well. Kelly Clarkson follows this with 'the trouble with love is' another good song which again, manages to fit the theme of the movie. No soundtrack would be complete with some less recent tracks by established artistes, Dido's Here with Me is a fabulous ballard. Following this is one of the main themes from the movie, Christmas Is All Around, a spook take on the wet wet cover song, sung by billy mack the character in the movie, its a real novelty song. Justin Timberlake provides some urban grooves with Like I love You. Whilst Norah Jones provides some more warm sensual sounds with her song 'turn me on'. This is followed by Eva Cassidys songbird, again another popular ballard. Other tracks which feature songs from back catalogues include, Maroon 5, The calling, and the beach boys.

One of the more crucial scenes in the movie features both sides now, a beautiful fragile song by Joni Mitchell. Otis Redding provides some seasonal support with White Christmas. Texas provide the sixties sounding ballard, i'll see it through.A classic sounding song, whilst Gabrielle rounds things off with her new track sometimes, which sounds like a usual gabrielle number, but good just the same.

The only songs that dont seem to fit in to this album are the Lynden David version of all you need is love, the beatles version would have been better, and the wycleff jean song, take me as i am.

The final tracks on the album are the craig armstrong score tracks, one of which 'total agony' is haunting.

In the end this is a fine album and with over twenty tracks it can be forgiven for providing the odd song which does not shine as the others do. I Highly reccomend it though.
