The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
Classic top tunes which bring the film to life . Plenty of songs to dance to or just lounge around to .
Disadvantages:
Geri Halliwell's version of 'It's Raining Men' which is terrible . A downside to an otherwise brilliant album . Where was one of my fave songs from the film 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'?

Relive your memories of the film with classic artists and current chart toppers side by side. I could not help but be uplifted by this album. The Pretenders 'Don't Get Me Wrong' has such a beat and such a style about it. The beautiful ballad 'Out Of Reach' by Gabrielle is included. This made me visualise Bridget Jones at the point in the film where she is left without her one time lover Daniel Cleaver or the aloof Mark Darcy. Andy Williams contribution captures the mood of the film. I find myself humming away to this now and his music was around well before I was born! This shows the universal appeal of this album. My only criticism lies with Geri Halliwell's 'It's Raining Men'. Absolutely dire! Why didn't they include the original by the Weather Girl's instead? If you have seen the film you must own this album! Every emotion is covered here and you can relive each one to yourself whether dancing round your living room or pondering over a glass of chardonnay!

Welcome to Ciao Amanda, A pretty decent first opinion, just lacking a bit in detail and also a little tip, try and put some blank spaces in between your paragraph's, as it makes it appear neater and easier to read...Good Luck Brian

Hello, Welcome to the 'cough' wonderful world of Ciao! Good first opinion, although I would recommend writing in paragraphs (bit more easy on the eye) and a little bit more detail would be nice (full track listing, how much it cost etc). I'm quite new to the site too, it seems like quite good fun & you get paid which can't be bad. Anyway hope to read more of your opinions in the near future.
