Notes

Music Editor: George A. Martin is not George Martin who worked with the Beatles.

I haven't many of my own comments about the movies on this site but... I sat through this movie to find out where "Something So Strong" appears in it. I assume it has a plot, but I just found it very tedious. Personally, I think if you want to hear "Something So Strong" your time's better spent playing "Crowded House" (the album). The video for the song is better than this movie :-) :-) (Note to those who haven't seen the video - on the e-mail discussion lists many Crowded House fans think it's dire!)
