Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Very Cool
3.5 Stars for the movie - Awsome soundtrack though.
Rating:  - Something's missing...
A few songs featured on the European soundtrack but not on the American one are what brings this CD down 2 stars. The song "do your thing" by basement jaxx (featured in the trailer/preview and in the film) is among the most notably absent. But overall not bad.
Rating: - Bend It Like Beckham CD Scores A Winning Goal
I absolutely love this CD. I loved the movie and went right out and bought the CD. I can not get enough of it. Any fan of the movie will, no doubt, absolutely love this CD. I was a little disappointed about some of the missing songs, but that did not cause me to hold a grudge. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone, whether they saw the movie or not. It is so cultural and full of great tunes.
Rating:  - Would have given it five but...
I totally agree with music fan regarding the absence of the Curtis Mayfield track "move on up", not only is it a great track, one of Curtis' Best and Most Uplifting Solo Trax, but the times (plural) that it is used it makes the scenes. It is a song about fulfilling your dreams and is used perfectly to demonstrate that same theme that drives the movie. overall the soundtrack is fantastic and the movie was beyond phenomenal. I'm going to buy the CD and have already been signed up to be notified as to the release of the DVD so I can buy it the DAY it comes out but like I said the soundtrack just isn't complete without the Curtis Mayfield track.
ps. I was especially surprised that it isn't even the import version of the soundtrack which does include alot of stuff left off the american release!!!
Rating: - Good soundtrack for a great movie
After seeing "Bend It Like Beckham," I left the theater with several songs in my head. My head was spinning for hours afterward with a variety of musical and cultural treats. The next day, I got online and ordered the soundtrack from here. I just got it today and have been listening to it non-stop since. I'm happy to say that the soundtrack lives up to my expectations, but it doesn't exceed them. I was disappointed by the number of songs featured in the movie that somehow didn't make the cut.
Besides that one little flaw, this soundtrack is very close to being perfect. It has a great variety of upbeat tracks that will keep you awake and in a good mood. My favorite songs are "Inner Smile" by Texas (if I had to choose one, this would be it), "Kinna Sohna" by Gunjan, "Independence Day" by Melanie C, and "Hot Hot Hot" by Bina Mistry. All of the tracks are great though. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone else who loved the movie and wanted to take home a little bit of the happy atmosphere it created.
