...film is a sign of laziness. There’s not a weak song on the Garden State soundtrack—but do any of them really need to be in the film? Unlike Coldplay’s “Don’t Panic” or Frou Frou’s “Let Go,” “Mrs. Robinson” was written expressly for The Graduate, and there is something to be said for original music that supports an original film.

There are gypsy dances, a Parisian can-can and a lavish Merry Widow waltz, as well as a good deal of hand kissing, heel clicking, flower tossing, serenades under balconies and debauchery at Maxim's with Lolo, Frou Frou, Mimi, Yvette and Nicolette. Everyone works very hard at being gay, but somehow this Merry Widow is not always as lighthearted as it might be, perhaps because the makers of the picture tell the story as if they meant it.
