I got this soundtrack because the movie was so... in lack of other words: delicious. This CD was the best soundtrack all summer long. I love the wide gap of music ranging from the Smiths to Hall and Oats to Feist to Regina Spector. Not to mention Simon and Garfunkel. This large group of music only increases the quality. This was a GREAT soundtrack in my opinion. There are only a few problems as far as I can see. The first is the fact that the first "song" is actually a narrative. Its the same speech as in the beginning of the movie. This, however, can easily be skipped or unchecked in your iTunes. The second problem is the mood swings. It goes from happy to sad. These swings aren't too major, but are notable. Overall, it was a good buy. I'd also like to add that 16 songs is a good size for any CD, especially a Soundtrack. This soundtrack was more than worth the money that I payed for it.
