This review is from: Freaky Friday (Audio CD)

I saw Jamie Lee Curtis's tour de force performance in "Freaky Friday" and then proceeded to pick up the soundtrack, even though the only cast members singing on this album are Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray. There are only two songs that are performed in the film, "Take Me Away" by Christina Vidal, which is song that the faux band Pink Slip plays in the movie, and "Ultimate," which Lohan sings during the final credits. The soundtrack is a mix between edgy covers, such as Simple Plan's "Happy Together," Lillix's "What I Like About You," and Bowling for Soup's "...Baby One More Time," and contemporary songs by Forty Foot Echo, the Donnas, and Lash. Rolfe Kent, who did the music for the film, only gets the final track on the album, "Fortune Cookie?" I picked up the album for the covers, but the other songs are growing on me, although it is strange to listen to Halo Friendlies sing "Me Vs. The World" or Joey Ramone's punk cover of "What a Wonderful World" and then realize this is the soundtrack to a Disney film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A poppy soundtrack but its very very fun to listen to!, August 9, 2003

This review is from: Freaky Friday (Audio CD)

I just saw the Freaky Friday movie and I loved it so much, and I loved the songs in it. I immediately went and bought the soundtrack for a amazingly low price. I was happy that I had the songs that Lindsay Lohan and her band sing (that song that she plays at the Wango Tango tryouts and in the garage when her mother turns off the electricity is another girl's song, read below to know what I think of each song!)

1. Lindsay Lohan "Ultimate" 10/10
The song she sings during the end credits and at her mom's wedding, a perfect inclusion!
2. Simple Plan "Happy Together" 8/10
One of the few remakes on this CD, an okay remake.
3. Lillix "What I Like About You" 9/10
An improved remake, perfect for Lillix.
4. American Hi-Fi "The Art of Losing" 7/10
One of the bad songs on the CD, AHF used to be good back in the Flavor of the Week days but they're a little washed out.
5. Forty Foot Echo "Brand New Day" 10/10
Never heard of them but this is a good song!
6. Halo Friendlies "Me Vs. The World" 10/10
I would love to play this song on the guitar if I only knew how to play!
7. Christina Vidal "Take Me Away" 10/10
The song that Lindsay's band plays! Glad it's on here!
8. Chad Michael Murray "Baby One More Time (Intro)" 0/10
What a waste of space! Made my ears bleed!
9. Bowling For Soup "Baby One More Time" 10/10
A good reason to like this song again!
10. The Donnas "Backstage" 10/10
"The Female Ramones" rock on this song!

11. Andrew W.K. "She Is Beautiful" 11/10
I LOVE THIS SONG IT IS AWESOME!
12. Diffuser "I Wonder" 9/10
Cool song!
13. Lash "Beauty Queen" 7/10
BORING!!!!!
14. Ashlee Simpson "Just Let Me Cry" 1/10
Basking in the light of her sister, sad very sad, and a cheap sounding imitation of No Doubt too!
15. Joey Ramone "What A Wonderful World" 12/10
JOEY'S BACK! sad that it is a remake but I'm glad he's back!
16. Rolfe Kent "Fortune Cookie?" 10/10
I liked the score to the movie but they could have done without including this on the music soundtrack. Not in place. Its a good track though!

THIS IS WHAT A SOUNDTRACK SHOULD BE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Movie and Soundtrack of the summer!, August 30, 2003

This review is from: Freaky Friday (Audio CD)

I borrowed this CD from my friend after watching Freaky Friday (which was very awesome, may I add :D). I liked it so much I wouldn't give it back to her and just ended up giving her the money to get herself another one. YES it's that good. Very fun and totally what everyone needs to end up the summer on a musical high note. This is just what I need to get dancing out of my bed every morning.

This is a satisfying CD whether you are into pop, rock or punk. My mom even liked it. Lindsay Lohan's musical debut was a lot better than I would have anticipated. The song "Ultimate" which is featured as the first song on the soundtrack will be stuck in your head all day. Other favourites of mine would have to be "Happy Together" by Simple Plan, and "Backstage" by the Donnas. This CD is a total showcase of the hottest upcoming young artists bound to take over the airwaves.

My absolute favourite song on the album would have to be "What I Like About You" by the new Canadian pop-rock sensation girl group Lillix (Tasha-Ray, Lacey-Lee, Louise and Kim). You know what song that is! It's the one from the movie that had you dancing in your movie seat when it came on! These girls put a modern fun rock twist on an amazing classic song. Think that was too many positive adjectives for one group? Take a listen for yourself. I'm sure after listening to their cover of the Romantic's classic hit on the Freaky Friday soundtrack, you will no doubt be intruiged to pick up their debut album "Falling Uphill". Their album and the Freaky Friday soundtrack are definitely the must have albums of the summer before you get back to school!

Overall an awesome CD. This is one of those great CD's that you won't have to skip songs with -> though you might be like me and love Lillix's cover song so much that you put it on repeat ;)
