I prefer the movie soundtrack by far. I miss Daphne's "Out Tonight," "Christmas Bells," and the other omitted songs to a lesser extent, but I feel the movie soundtrack is far superior in almost every way.
As some others have mentioned, the lackluster sound of the OBCR is disappointing. Also, I didn't notice it until I compared the OBCR with the soundtrack, but I think Adam uses his vibrato far too much on the OBCR. "Your Eyes" sounds very pretty on the OBCR, and his voice sounds clearer overall, but I still prefer his voice on the soundtrack. I think Idina's voice improved as well.
I'm also in love with the beginning of Today 4 U and the ending of You'll See Boys on the OBCR. The beginning of "Today 4 U" on the OBCR makes me want to cry (in a bad way). It's so loud and obnoxious, and it sounds so dated to me. I agree regarding the ending of "You'll See" on the OBCR, though.
