Music - Here's To Love, Ewan McGregor & Renee Zellweger


For those unfamiliar with it, the movie Down With Love is an homage to sixties sex comedies, two in particular. Pillow Talk's the one everyone seems to mention, but the plot's been lifted pretty much entirely from Sex And The Single Girl.

The soundtrack is entirely worth buying, but the two standout tracks are the opening theme, "Down With Love" by Michael Buble' & Holly Palmer, and the closing theme, "Here's To Love," by the stars of the movie.

"Here's To Love" is full of alcoholic double-entendre. The lyrics are certainly cute, and everything about the song comes off like the producers intended; it seems exactly as though it's the real theme to a real sixties sex comedy. McGregor & Zellweger are adorable in it, and the music's dead-on perfect. My only complaint is that the lyrics could be just a little crisper, a little less nonsensical.

But I love it anyway -- it's light and bubbly and sweet, and if it's not perfect, it's still fun.

Cheers!

    Believe it or not, I've never seen this movie all the way through. I suck at my Ewan fangirling.

    Ooh, Katesti, it's so cute, and he never looked better.

    Disclaimer:

    Music is posted for a short time, and while I use it in part to (hopefully, though not always) go along with the theme of the photo, I also post it in hopes someone will give it a try and fall in love with it as I have. Perhaps they will then seek out more by the artist and buy more cds. That's how it works with me, anyway. If you like it, pick it up at the store; support the artists you love.
