Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Don't be fooled by the "various artists" credited as performing on this soundtrack: 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. On top of that, it's hard not to like DeVotchKa's singer Nick Urata, whose high-lonesome croon falls somewhere between Roy Orbison and the Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt. Sensitive indie troubadour Sufjan Stevens contributes two wonderful songs that display his usual flair for clever arrangements, especially "No Man's Land." Wait, did I say "uniform tone"? A pair of uptempo dance numbers interrupt the flow toward the end: Tony Tisdale's "Catwalkin'" and a remix of Rick James's classic "Superfreak"--the effect of that song suddenly barging in is akin to hearing Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" in Napoleon Dynamite. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews
A wonderful soundtrack
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE is one of my favorite films from last year. I was laughing all the way through the dark comedy. I also enjoyed the music as much as I enjoyed the film. The soundtrack consists of instrumentals, indie pop, and dance music. Up until the movie, I had never heard of the artist Devotchka. I was reminded a bit of Iron & Wine and The Shins with his brand of indie pop/folk music. The film score by Michael Danna was just as good. I especially enjoyed track #6 "Let Go" which had a bit of a Parisian feel. I have to admit that the songs "Catwalkin'" and "Superfreak" sounded a bit out of play on a soundtrack filled mostly with melancholy indie pop and instrumentals but I still enjoyed listening to the songs, especially "Superfreak (Rocasound Revamp" by Rick James because I always think of that hilarious scene where Abigail Breslin's character is on stage with her dance routine. Great film, great soundtrack.
Wonderful...a must see movie!!
Was skeptical when it came out, but it excelled in it's performance. I was laughing and feeling that could be any typical average American family. It had it's ups and downs, but they remained a family through it all.
A must see in my opinion!!!!! I can't figure out which character I liked best, or which one brought the movie to the good performance it was, as they ALL did a superb job combined.
Perfect for your next trip in the car
Looking to relive those fabulous moments of the movie while on the road yourself? This is IT! Perfect for sing-alongs in the car and for late-night relaxing. I love this CD that will always remind me of this excellent movie!
Excellent Soundtrack
When i was watching this movie, I really enjoyed the soundtrack and immediately decided to purchase the soundtrack which is something i rarely feel inclined to do. But i have no regrets for buying the CD as i find all but two of the tracks excellent and it is one of the CD's that stays in my car for regular playing during my trips. I would definatley recommend this soundtrack to anyone, especially anyone not familar with DeVotchKa.
Quirky but fun
I think this will be the start of big things for Devotchka. They have a somewhat different sound, compared to a lot of the bands out there, but it never fails to please the ear, and get your toes tapping.
