Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens can’t stop obsessing over, let alone spying on, his ex-wife Erica, who ignominiously left him for another man. Even as his neighbour-with-benefits, Tricia, tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else¹s charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic; and his teen son Rusty is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings...

This is one of two soundtrack releases for the movie Stuck in Love. There's Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott's score and then there is this release which includes various artists as well as a number of tracks that are also on the score release.

If you were a fan of the movie, then this might be the version to pick up (unless Mogis and Walcott's music is what you're really after) as this version contains the songs from the movie as well as seven tracks that are on the other album.

This album contains 17 tracks and has a running time of 48 min, 50 sec. For me, the stand out track has to be 'Somersaults In Spring' by Friends of Gemini - the rest of the album I could take or leave as this is not the sort of score I'd be rushing to listen to again, but it's inoffensive enough to not have me reaching for the off button.
