I thought this soundtrack was good, as so as the movie. My favorites were:
Best day of My Life; Jesse McCartney (I have been a big fan of Jesse since he was in Dream Street...even now, he's a much more mature singer)
Sympathy; Goo Goo Dolls (This song was awesome! I don't really like the Goo Goo Dolls, but this song was their best)
Girl Can Rock; Hilary Duff (This song was on DisneyChannel for quite some time, but it sounded much clearer on this cd.)
Beautiful Soul; Jesse McCartney (I love this song! I do have to say I like Best day of my Life better, but this song was Jesse's first "chart" song, so you have to give him props.)
I'll Be; Edwin McCane (Jeez this song is old! I thought I would never hear this song on another cd again! I do think it is a very good song, and I personally do not care if it is old or not!)
The Song that is missing is probably the downfall of this cd. The song that is missing is the song from the football game called "Hear you Me" by Jimmy Eat World. I have no idea why Disney did not put this song on (it might have been because of the select time it was being played, you know, when Austin and Sam were kissing). I am going to answer a question from "Uncle Scooter" and the answer is, yes, the song when Sam was showing off her dress was on her called Best Day of My Life, and of course it was different, because you only heard like 20 seconds of the song in the movie!
Overall, I think that was a great Cd! I reccomend this cd to fans of Hilary Duff (Because basiclly every song on here is by her) and fans of pop.

I was interested in this soundtrack because of the song during the football game, "Hear You Me." If you like this song go for "Jimmy Eat World." Without knowing it I already had this song on that CD- I knew it sounded familiar.
I am not really a Hilary Duff fan (especially since she got those scary teeth!), so the other songs don't interest me. "Our Lips are Sealed" is pretty good though, but I am not going to get a CD just for one song.

The soundtrack was awesome! I saw the movie and loved it! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they didn't have Hear you me (the song during the football game) by Jimmy eat world. That was my favorite song in the whole movie and I was disapointed that it wasn't on the soundtrack. Overall, the cd had some good songs and you should get it if you like the movie. It rocked!

An ok CD, but as others have said the CD lacks the songs that make the movie what it is e.g that song at the football game: Hear you me. There is also too much Hilary Duff, i mean I like her and she has a good voice, but the songs that were included were only in like two seconds of the film, they could have made a much better CD with the songs in the film and it's not my cup of tea, but if you loved Hilary's album, this is the soundtrack for you!

The selections for this movie were quite excellent. I love this soundtrack. The songs are diverse and compliment the movie, meaning they were pretty much perfect for the scenes that they were played with. The best song would have to be "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain, which was a brilliant selection for the movie.

The only reason this album doesn't recieve five stars is because it was missing a song that I felt was vital to the movie. The song that was played during the football game, "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World was my favorite song from the movie. I was very disappointed to see that it wasn't included. Also, "Sympathy" was slightly edited, but not to the point where it was too annoying. It was a Disney movie, and they included the line in the movie, so I thought it was odd that they deleted it on the soundtrack, "I'll Be" was also edited, to the point where it did irritate me, they cut out the words "love suicide" and it just hurt the flow of such a beautiful song. It probably won't bother you if you were not familiar with the song, but for those of us that are, it was a noticable change.

All in all I really liked the ablum, there could have been a few tweaks but other than that I would recommend it to anyone.

Considering how poppy and teeny-bopperish A Cinderella Story was, one could expect very little difference in the soundtrack. True, Hilary Duff and Jesse McCartney, a.k.a. Jesse McCrap, have more than one single each, but overall, the soundtrack has some pretty good, well-chosen tunes. It starts off on a high note with Hilary and Haylie Duff's solid rendition of the GoGo's Our Lips Are Sealed and ends on a higher note with the Simple Plan-like head-banger First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life by MXPX. Althought Hilary has one of the most wimpy and mousy voices in pop music today, in my opinion, some of her best songs are featured on this soundtrack, such as the seriously good Now You Know and Crash World, argurably her best song next to Fly. Other good songs to mention: Girl Can Rock (from Hilary's third album, Most Wanted) The Best Day Of My Life by Jesse McCrap, er. McCartney, yes, believe it or not (good song), Friend by Kaitlyn, and Fallen by Mya.
This soundtrack is for either: (1) A pop music lover and die-hard fan of Hilary Duff and Jesse McCartney (2) An insightful music critic who needs some serious bubble-gum tunes or (3) A ballad or pop music lover alike that just enjoys the music and buys it for that alone, not because Hilary and her uber-annoying sister Haylie's names are plastered all over the front and back of the cover. Below are my song ratings for each track:
1. Hilary & Haylie Duff, Our Lips Are Sealed: Pretty well done, better-than-expected job with this mega-hit. 3/5
2. Hilary Duff, Anywhere But Here: It's OK. I loved it when I first heard it and about 30 more times after that, but now, the zillionth time I've heard it, it's wearing off. 4/5
3. Jesse McCartney, The Best Day Of My Life: Surprisingly, I like this one, and I absolutely despise Jesse McCrap. The reason being, any male singer or boy band could sing this and I would love it just the same. 5/5
4. Hilary Duff, Girl Can Rock: When I first heard this song, I thought it was the bomb. Hilary was finally starting to get an edge! It kinda wore off a little bit, but it's still not all that bad. 4/5
5. Hilary Duff, Now You Know: By far one of Hilary's best songs! I LOOOOOOOOVE this one! The tune, the beat, the words, EVERYTHING! This CD is worth buying just for this one alone. 5/5
6. Haylie Duff, One In This World: I guess this one is alright. Haylie doesn't have the mousy voice of Hilary, but she's not a Kelly Clarkson either. She's annoying in a different kind of way. This one is so,so: not really all that bad, not all that great, but still falls under the file labed SOUPED-UP, WATERED DOWN BLAH-BLAH POP. 2/5
7. Hilary Duff, Crash World: I this is argurably Hilary's best song! She should have released it as a single or at least have had it on one of her albums. Awesome edge; almost Avril Lavigne-esque. 5/5
8. Josh Kelley, To Make You Feel My Love: This is an OK song. It appeals to ballad/pop lovers. If you generally like this soundtrack's style of music, this one won't disappoint you. 2/5
9. Goo Goo Dolls, Sympathy: Sympathy is an OK song as well. It's one of those that makes this album good and easy to listen to, but like number 8, I won't be hitting the REPEAT button any here when I play this soundtrack through. 3/5
10. Kaitlyn, Friend: Way, way cool song! It starts off kind of wimpy but gets better and you'll be singing along with it. In case you recall, it was played during the football scene in the movie. 4/5
11. Jesse McCartney, Beautiful Soul: Why, oh why did they put this junk that some people have the nerve to call talent and make this so-far OK soundtrack take several steps backward? Because 12-year-old girls from all across America visit Wal-Mart pretty frequently, that's why. (Sigh!) And to think that they used up a song space here and filled it with this junk?! Even I could have thought of a million better suggestions! 1/5
12. Edwin McCain, I'll Be: This is a pretty popular love song that got frequent radio airplay and suits the tone of the CD well. It doesn't make up for the erroneous and hideous music track, if you can even call it that, that is number 11, but it's nowhere near as bad. 3/5
13. Fallen, Mya: Finally! Something to make up for number 11! This hip, fresh R & B song is one of my favorites on this soundtrack. 4/5
14. MXPX, First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life: I think, personally, that this song is the best song on this soundtrack! It's very Simple Plan-ish in nature, and you'll be more than bopping your head, you'll be dancing as well. It was a very smart decision on the executive's or whoever's part it was here to save the best song for last, just so people can forget about number 11 and end on a happy note with happy thoughts. 5/5

This C.D. was very good, the only thing that I didn't like was that my favorite song out of the whole movie (the football scene song--Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World) wasn't on the soundtrack...and that's the whole reason I bought the C.D.! Needless to say, I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't on the soundtrack, so I had to do some research and figure out which song it was. Just so you know.

Wheres the music from the movie? Theres way to much Hillary Duff on the Soundtrack. A soundtrack is suppose to have songs from a movie this one had some but it also left out a bunch that were key and replaced them with a bunch of Hillary Duff junk.
This would be an good CD for a Hillary Duff fan but for someone like me who loved the movie and wanted to hear some of the music from it, this is not a good CD. They left off "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World which i felt was the best song in the movie. They also edited some of the other songs that were used during the movie which i can understand since younger children might be listening to it. Overall i think they used to many Hillary Duff songs some of them that i cant even remember when they were played in the movie and they left off "Hear You Me" which was played during the football game at the peak of the movie. I would recommend this soundtrack to all Hillary Duff fans but to someone whos not a big fan and was just looking for some of the songs played in the movie (like me) you might not like this Soundtrack (if you can even call it that)

ok so i really like the cd but hello it was totally missing a key song that was like totally a major part of the movie what song is that you ask it is Hear You Me - By Jimmy Eat World the song is played when Austin/Chad runs off the football field to go to Sam/Hilary the Cd totally needed that song but they forgot it i guess but other than that it is a pretty good soundtrack

Hey, this soundtrack is filled with really good POP songs, and it is a good pop album. Of course, if you don't like pop you won't like this CD and give it a low rating, but you got to rate it for what it is. I am now gonna review each song individually.

1- "Our Lips Are Sealed" by Hilary and Haylie Duff. A pretty good remake and the two actually sound good with each other since their voices are quite similar but not like identical.

2- "Anywhere But Here" by Hilary Duff. One of the highlights off of her "Metamorphosis" album. It's midtempo and catchy. Her vocals are very good on here too.

3- "The Best Day Of My Life" by Jesse McCartney. It takes a while to get into the song but once you hit the chorus it is very good. This guy has a good voice.

4- "Girl Can Rock" by Hilary Duff. This is Hilary rockin out a song, and guess what? It works out great.

5- "Now You Know" by Hilary Duff. A mid-tempo ballad. It's kind of catchy in a ballad way but it's not the best song on the album.

6- "One In This World" by Haylie Duff. A Dianne Warren ballad that suits Haylie's voice perfectly. A ballad, and a heck of a good song to listen to anytime.

7- "Crash World" by Hilary Duff. Good and catchy pop song. It starts off slow but then works up at the chorus, kind of like "Come Clean"..except not quite as good as that song.

8- "To Make You Feel My Love" by Josh Kelly. This is one of the most boring, slow songs on the album. Definately should have been left out and this dude sounds very old. Tied for worst track here.

9- "Sympathy" by Goo Goo Dolls. Very good. It sounds like an acoustic version of a rock song but whatever, it works well. Meaningful lyrics with a soulful voice.

10- "Friend" by Kaitlyn. The other contender for worst song. The only thing this song has going for it is the beat which is only semi-catchy. The lyrics and theme of the song is stupid. Her voice is not impressive at all.

11- "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney. This is my favorite song off the album and it's great. It starts off with an acoustic guitar and then gets very catchy at the chorus. And of course, the vocals are awesome!

12- "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. Of course a beautiful ballad with a soulful voice. Come on! We've all heard this and know how good it is.

13- "Fallen" by Mya. This song seems out of place since it is the only r&b song. But otherwise, a great song by Mya. Her voice is soft and sweet and suits the song perfectly.

14- "First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life" by MxPx. A great rock/pop song to end the soundtrack. It's definately catchy and not an ear-bleeding rock song by a rock band. I don't like rock music so that's why.
