To set the record straight, BOTH Weezer and Green Day had songs in Accepted called "Holiday," (a coincidence, becuase they are completely different and unrelated songs but both worked well in the movie). For whatever reason, the only one to make it onto the soundtrack was Weezer's song. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could refrain from rating albums 1 star for things like this, even if an error has actually been made. Go ahead and send an e-mail to Amazon and maybe they'll fix it, but please rate the album on its own merits. Speaking of the album, I think it is a good disc that's quite representative of the music choices of the great film, especially the Citizen Cope and Ryan Adams tracks.

I do not own the soundtrack, and I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, (if they have, I apologize for repeating it)but the song from the trailer is "Everything is all right" by Motion City Soundtrack. I was disappointed to see that it was not on the soundtrack. Hope this was helpful

Predictable but fun movie with a great soundtrack. The version of Eleanor Rigby alone makes this CD worth buying - the rest is a bonus.

hello
do anyone know what is the song that was playing during the party

Does anyone know the name of the band/song playing during the official trailer of the movie? thanks!

I'd give this album 3.5 stars but I don't have the option.

First off to the reviewers below.
1- The Kid: Try to realize that due to licensing and royalties not all songs make it onto a soundtrack cd and many appear simply in the movie. It's easier to pay someone for 30 seconds of their song then to put it onto a cd where people will own it and pay a lot more. Green Day and Weezer are from a similar era, but their music should never be confused. It is not illegal to share song titles, things like this can be trademarked at best. There are even technicalities for band names. Try to be a bit more knowledgable before you waste time writing a review and not to mention embarass yourself.
2- The Other Guy: Before you bash anyone for being "wrong" make sure your grammar doesn't make you look dumb. Your and you're are different things. You're is a contraction for you are. So if you are going to say "your wrong"[sic] then you might as well be a kid too, because high school did nothing for you and it's better to be an ignorant youth than an ignorant adult in the world. It doesn't matter how successful you are, there are plenty of important people that will never take you seriously if you can't understand the concepts of a simple language.


On to the soundtrack. While there are a lot of good songs on here, not a lot of them made any sense in the movie. Unlike other soundtracks where the songs added substance to the movie it was rather more like they picked some personal favorites, mixed them like crap and tossed them in. The Hives song is butchered in the movie. It cuts off in mid verse and switches to a different vocal part, much like the Louis XIV song from the Madden 2006 soundtrack.

This soundtrack is good for listens but it's best to just buy the cds of the bands on it as this is a mix of randomers than don't have much chemistry.

The music for this happy crowd-pleaser was upbeat and made the unhappy losers look good as they come together to develop the most creative educational concept since Whittle in the 80s. Bartlby was the leader of this fake Internet college with the help of the misfit at Harmon where he was harassed and humiliated. He and the princely count's girl transferred just down the street to a school to beat all. Justin Long as Bartalby was smart and cute, and a pleasure to watch on the big screen. He suffered through eight or more rejection letters and his parents insisted that all normal people go to college -- any college. With a core of six or seven, all of whom had be rejected, the set up a dummy college with a false web site to pacify his disappointed parents. They found an abandoned psychiatric hospital on the fringes of a real college, complete with a padded room. They had a ball renovating it themselves and a bunch of internet weirdos, all misfits, were accepted. Seventy four showed up for classes but by the end of the year, there were 300 students all having the time of their lives. They proved the fact that American education has been dumbed down, and none of them were dumb. Do you know what it's like to be rejected? It hurts.

It started out as a play school with their books purchased from Amazon. It was a party school like UT-K, and a nerd educator called the students of this experimental style of college "freaks at the looney bin." Their school was shut down as a sham, a fraud, but Dr. Jack Alexander decided it was a clever idea, as the students and the founders had a desire to better themselves. They had been humiliated by being judged on their looks and not their abilities. Dr. Alex admitted that he had always wanted to play jazz trombone.

One of the main students turned out to have been a real female "escort" not the kind C. Southcott says he will be in Hawaii. I don't think he will even go on that tour. Your sometimes trust the wrong person whose actions strip you of your dignity temporarily. They started a new Pilot program at the fictitious college which evolved into a very popular real school. It's not just about us anymore. No matter how you try to wing it, circumstances always intervene into scams and tortures. They will be found out. Touche. When you reach desperation, you invent possibilities for the future not only for you but for those involved in hoping for the same conclusion. It was an unconsciencable thing to even contemplate, but elation, creation, determination, reinvarnation, identification, retaliation, desperation, amortization all theorectically lead one to make new rules for a new kind of process.

It was an entertaining movie due in part to the choice of music which befit the circumstances of the action.

The song "Holiday" on the soundtrack for Accepted is by Weezer. Seeing as the review was a kid's review which stated the false information about the song and soundtrack, I will go easy on the kid. Fact #1: to write a kids review you have to be under thirteen. Fact #2: 13 year olds know nothing about music (seeing as Holiday by Weezer is from their Blue Album from 1994, which would make the kid 1 year old at best). Fact #3: Most young children are idiots because when they hear weezer the think of their newer crappier songs like Beverly Hills. Dont get me wrong I love Weezer but Beverly Hills cant even compare to their earlier songs Buddy Holly or their lesser known classic Susanne. Ask a young kid about green day and they'll tell you how much the LOVE American Idiot or Boulevard of Broken Dreams, these songs suck compared to their earlier work. So next time kid dont act so high and mighty claiming that your right and a class action lawsuit is going to ensue with the record company who put out the accepted soundtrack, because kid you know nothing about music when you cant even tell green day from weezer. Kid I'm sorry to tell you this but you are the American Idiot.

On this cd, is says "Holiday" by weezer. I saw this movie and it was Green Day's "Holiday". I know Weezer has a song called Holiday but Green Day's is completely different. Don't buy this cd. Billie Joe will sue whoever made this shortly...
