The Best IsYet To Come - Michael Andrew and Swingerhead
Heartbreakers, Suite 1
Heartbreakers, Suite 2
Despite accompanying a comedy with a nicely hot-cha-cha premise--Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as gold-digger con artists--this soundtrack disc offers very little in the way of truly saucy music. Besides Alison... more » Krauss's take on "Baby, Now That I've Found You," three Antonio Carlos Jobim classics performed by Astrud Gilberto, Sarah Vaughan, and a stiff Susannah McCorkle are about the only suggestion of real sex here. The What Women Want CD offered Sinatra and Bennett, so why the third-rate lounge-act version (by Michael Andrew and Swingerhead) of "The Best Is Yet to Come" included here? That's not to mention the snooze-inducing singer-songwriter tracks (Shawn Colvin, Inara George & Bryony Atkinson) that amount to musical non sequiturs. A puzzling album, at best. --Rickey Wright« less

"The Name of the songs many are looking for, when both girls are on the boat looking for people to con, is called "Tropicalia" by Beck, and the other one in where they are dancing after they just got married is called "Oh, My Love" by John Lennon, And because this is not a forum let me give my opinion on the cd. The CD was ok, it really should have had more, its not much of a Soundtrack. Thank You for reading."
The missing song....?

"OK, first of all after a saw the heartbreakers I wanted the soundtrack mainly for the mystery song where Jake (Jason Lee) and Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) have just been married and are dancing under the stars. This song was stuck in my head all weekend, it wasn't until i had to go back and see the movie again that i found out the song is called "Oh my Love" by John Lennon. I hope this will end the search for the missing song."
Better in the Movie

"When I saw the movie, I thought the soundtrack would rock. It is missing a few key songs. The one when they are in the speedboat checking out rich men...that IS a Beck song, I just can't figure out what it's called. Also, the Lennon song. How could you take the best stuff off the soundtrack?
I just sampled the CD online, and won't buy it."
Good but missing the best song of the movie

"I love the mix on this CD, but it is missing the best song in the movie. I know this has already been talked about in some of the the other reviews, so I know that I'm not alone in this view. The song I'm talking about is the one played by Jack to Page on their honeymoon. It is Oh My Love by John Lennon. The only reason I'm writing this review is because I know of at least two versions of this song that are currently being sold. The version I believe to be the one used in the movie is on John Lennon's album titled IMAGINE [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] released on 4/11/2000. The other version (the one I don't think was used in the movie) is on Lennon's box set and on the album titled Wonsaponatime. The lyrics are the same in both versions, but there are small differences. Maybe these differences won't matter to others, but it did to me. I had to have the Imagine album."
Oh My Love - John Lennon

"I enjoyed Heartbreakers and thought the soundtrack would be awesome... sadly, it did not have one of the best songs played in the movie "Oh my Love" by John Lennon. I noticed some other people mentioned it on here, as well. If you are looking for a place to find it, try Anthology (4 cd box set) CD 1 or Imagine. Once again, the soundtrack was OKAY but they really should have included Lennon!"
