Director Curtis Hanson chooses a lineup of vintage rock and R&B for the musical side of his screen adaptation of Michael Chabon's brilliant Wonder Boys. Foremost is Bob Dylan, who contributes a new rocker, "Things Have Changed," as well as cuts from Blood on the Tracks, Oh Mercy, and Time Out of Mind. These 13 cuts do a fine job of limning Michael Douglas's lead character's confusion, regret, and weary-to-the-bone ambivalence. Smartly sequenced--soul giants Little Willie John and Clarence Carter fit perfectly alongside the likes of Dylan, Lennon, Van Morrison, and Neil Young--Wonder Boys the album is a stellar example of hand-in-glove movie-music supervision. --Rickey Wright

Wonder Boys.......2006-11-10

Incredible mix of some of the best tunes (in my mind) -- especially the Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan cuts. Now this is music from my younger era, but it was recommended to me by my 20-something-year-old daughter!

One of the best movie soundtracks..........2005-10-17

This CD contains four Bob Dylan songs, so how can you go wrong? I initially bought this disc for "Things Have Changed", which is a great song, but was instantly impressed with "Shooting Star" which I had never heard before but liked instantly. It was great to hear Dylan play harmonica on a newer song. This soundtrack is a showcase for songwriters: Van Morrison, Neil Young, Tom Rush, and Leonard Cohen are all featured. The really great thing was that some blues/R&B songs were thrown in for good measure. The Clarence Carter and Little Willie John classics make this a VERY enjoyable collection. This is one of the best movie soundtracks out there and contains NO filler. If you like good music you will like this.

great collection for grown-ups..........2004-11-29

Great movie and a great soundtrack! This is actually a great collection for grown-ups...Van Morrison, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, Clarence Carter, Little Willie John, Tim Hardin, Neil Young, Tom Rush, Buffalo Springfield, and four songs by Bob Dylan including the Oscar winning "Things Have Changed". It's also made of all strong album cuts...the only two hits being "Old Man" and "Watching The Wheels".

Just look at the names on this album. Just look at them! Neil, John, Van, Bob and Leonard all on one emotional hodgepodge of sadness, despair, longing, joy and love. This is an incredible soundtrack to an incredible movie. The word "classic" is rarely pertinent when speaking of soundtracks of recently released movies, but for the Wonderboys Soundtrack, classic is an understatement. I really love this album, and if you enjoy any of the artists listed above, I think you will too. See the movie, hear the soundtrack, long may you run. Recommended to all.
(For people who enjoyed this record, try The Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack too. It's equally rewarding.)

A fine collection of tunes for a great little movie.......2003-02-18

My mom wanted a copy of this, because our neighbor Margo would listen to it when they visited each other, and the music was very good. Margo has great taste in music, so I had to get a copy. Get yours soon, because soundtracks tend to go out of print real fast unless the movie is a real blockbuster. Although this was an excellent people movie, it has not been rated as a blockbuster and most of the people I know haven't heard of it.
