Review of the soundtrack to the film Wicker Park.
Every so often, a film is released with a soundtrack so compelling that it overwhelms the movie. This is particularly true of the popular or fad genre-focused soundtracks. In the '80's, it was the Shocker Soundtrack with heavy metal. In the '90's, it was the Singles Soundtrack with grunge/alternative. Perhaps for the 2000's, it will be Wicker Park with indie/alternative rock. As a general rule, the movies are forgettable or just barely bearable but the soundtracks ROCK! They tend to fit the overall theme of the movie and set the tone perfectly.…

i am so in love with josh hartnett! i mean you wouldnt believe how many times i have seen the movie, and i cry at the ending each time; as well as the part where he waits for her and then she's in europe and he goes home and rips all the pictures off his wall, when he's standing there with the tears in his eyes? and the huge tear rolls down... i was sobbing! how can you say this movie is a bad, dull, boring, unrealisticc, and obsessive film? yes, he is obsessive with finding her, but if you really loved someone, and you didnt hear from them in two years and then you saw them, you'd be obsessive, right? this movie is a gem, and I will never forget it. by the way, to you csaba, the SCIENTIST by COLDPLAY the lyrics go "take me back to the START" not stars... lol so the next time you parade lyrics all over the internet at least do us a favor and get them right?

Hey Ms.Benning...I read what you wrote and liked what you said. I may not be no josh hartnett, but I know what it feels like to be in his position, at least in this movie somewhat. Call me crazy, but I've been trying to pursue the same girl ever since the first grade...and right now I'm about to turn 24. That's 17 years. If you count since I graduated high school it's a lil over 5. I don't know how she truly feels about me. I just keep getting mixed emotions the rare occasions I ever do get to see her, which is years at a time. Not that we live so far away...it's just we live different lives. I do know there is something floating out there, but it just kills me every day thinking about her. It eats at my soul, and she's all I can think about. If you have a remedy for my pain please let me know. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

The version of "The Scientist" used in this movie is by Johnette Napolitano & Danny Lohne, not Coldplay.

Brian, that song is from the Wicker Park score (not soundtrack) and is called "Following Daniel". It's a beautiful song.

i got this crazy feeling when i first watched this movie. i gave it to one of me friends and he forgot to return it during the semester break. i got it back after about a month. yesterday i saw it once more but it didn't even make me sad! maybe because i know the story it didn't have any effect on my emotions. but one thing i gotta admit, i WANT TO feel the way i felt when i first saw this movie. Oh! the mixed crooked feeling that u have is just sooo out of this world!!! i don't have words to describe it. i just wanna forget the story and see it again and again!!! :)
