[edit] Reviews
- Elisabeth Vincentelli of Amazon.com says, "The CD actually has a rather uniform tone, and mercifully it's a lovely one. Composer Mychael Danna is paired with the Denver band DeVotchKa, who perform his score and offer a few tunes of their own. Making excellent use of strings, tuba, and squeezebox, they set a mood that echoes the movie's warmly idiosyncratic one."[1]
- Jonathan Jarry called the soundtrack "an intriguing experiment in smaller folk sounds with a slight Eastern European twist, an American polka for dysfunctional families and the malaise of life."[2]
[edit] Trivia
An edited version of "The Winner Is" was used in a Gerber commercial concerning childbirth.
