4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD/Missing Song list, September 27, 2003

By 

Michael Parker "Collector" (Waldwick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: American Wedding (Audio CD)

This an awesome CD. Lots of great songs and if you liked the previous AP soundtracks you'll like this. In additon to the usual popular hits there are also some great romantic songs on this album like "Honey & The Moon" by Joseph Arthur (played when Jim & Michelle walk down the beach) and "Into The Mystic" which is at the end of the movie.
They should definitly do another soundtrack as there is are a large number of good songs they weren't able to fit on the CD. Since there have been numerous questions about this, here is a list of most of those songs. I'll still working on finding out 2 or 3.
When Finch is doing recon to find out about the wedding dress
1-You Were Right by Badly Drawn Boy
When the scene cuts to Chicago
2-I Want To Die A Beautiful Death by Everclear
From the dance-off in the gay bar
3-Maniac by Michael Sembello
4-Heaven Is a Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle.
5-Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics
6-Venus by Banarama
7-The Reflex by Duran Duran
Following the dance-off when they meet Leslie
8-Round Round by The Sugababes
The main song during the bachelor party
9-I See You Baby(Fat Boy Slim Remix)by Groove Armada
When Jim & Michelle are walking on the beach
10-The Long Day Is Over by Norah Jones
When Stifler & The football team bring in the new flowers
11-Time For Heros by The Libertines
When Everyone dances at the reception
12-Into The Mystic by Van Morrison
A cover by The Wallflowers is on the soundtrack.

Still trying to find out the song when the Stippers are introduced (it has "let's groove in it) and the opening song in the gay bar which is called "Read My Lips". There are several songs with that title though so I don't know which one it is.

American Wedding is a crude and mediocre movie with a terrific soundtrack. Terrific, but not exactly perfect. My only problem is that most of the tracks in the movie are from mainstream bands or were already on the radio the previous year, so you probably already have the songs on a CD.

Examples? "Bouncing off the Walls" by Sugarcult, "The Hell Song" by Sum 41 and "The Art of Losing" by American Hi-Fi. Then there are some older songs from years 1999-2001 before American Pie 2 was even out--for example, "Freakin' You" by Jungle Brothers. The song is only played in the 'Wedding' Unrated version, and was also in Todd Philips' 2000 adventure comedy Road Trip.

What's the point of putting out soundtrack that's basically a mix tape of pop songs the year before, though? I must admit, even though the soundtrack is a lot of pop/mainstream, it uses a lot of underground music and 2003 tracks. "Summertime Girls" by Baha Men came out on a 2004 CD, by the way. Closing this review, the album isn't really worth buying if you've ever turned on a radio in the past 2½ years. If you haven't watched MTV in the last 3 years and really love the songs from the movie, go ahead and buy. Otherwise, [*pbbft*]. Might as well buy NOW Volume Seventeen or something.
