i enjoyed the book, movie, and soundtrack very much. although i understand where you are coming from with the movie is a "bastardized" version of an originally london set movie, it actually was done very well. yes they deleted scenes (cant have a 5 hour movie) but it still came off in the exact way the book was written. this book WAS a romcom, so i dont see how that has any blame deserves to be tossed that way. as far as the costello thing, what did you want the soundtrack to just be only costello? although he probably has enough material to do such it would have taken away from the film. this was a great book and it was ported over about as good as a book can be.
