Title: A good soundtrack. A great film.
Review: When I first saw the trailer for this film I figured the soundtrack was something thrown together just for promotion. It's not. For one of the first times since Baz Luhrmann's "Strictly Ballroom" the Australian tie-in soundtrack reflects the feel and core of the film. The Italian influences of the Alibrandi's in the opening and closing beats of the film - "Tintarella Di Luna". The sadness at the losses - "With or Withouth You". The 'schoolies' theme - "Weir" by Killing Heidi. Then the hidden gem of the CD - the awesome ballad in LoTel's "Teenager of the Year". It's as good as any of the teen flick soundtracks out there. It's got the spirit of the "Dawsons Creek" CD but with one added thing - heart. If you enjoyed the film you can live it over and over again with this nicely packaged soundtrack!
