I'm truly shocked that this soundtrack hasn't gotten more attention. I bought this after having seen the movie and really liking the "Garden State-esque feel," shall we say, of some of the songs. The first song, "Catch My Disease," is upbeat and entertaining, with funny lyrics, written and performed by Ben Lee. I went out the next day and bought two of Lee's CD's. Other tracks include "Hackensack" by Fountains of Wayne, sounding very un-Fountains of Wayne, at least to those who are only familiar with their mega-hit "Stacy's Mom." I also love the Brendan Benson song, and if you ever get the chance, check out the video, which features a stick figure following along with his band. Of course, the goofy tracks from the movie are on here as well. Anna Faris belting out "Forgiveness" in what seems like an omage to Britney Spears is funny, as well as her awful attempts to hit high notes in "Love From Afar." "Jamie Smiles," sang by Chris Klein, sounds a lot better on the CD than it does in the movie, probably because you're not grimacing at the sappy sight of Klein smirking and picking the guitar. The Christmas song should've been left out, but I'll take it anyway, just because of how great the rest of the tracks are. The original score is also included, which is awesome, because the score is typically left off of soundtracks such as this one. The original score channels that of Badly Drawn Boy's score for the film About a Boy-- it's great! I highly recommend this one, and at only $9.99, you really can't beat the price for an awesome collection of songs.

I got a kick out of the movie and am buying this CD especially for the song "Eyes" by Rogue Wave. I knew I had heard it somewhere before and it turns out that it seems to be the unofficial theme song of the NBC show Heroes.

Besides this soundtrack, I think you can only get this song on an import cd, at least currently.

I'm not really writing a review of this album. I'm just putting this text in here so that others who do the same search I did can find it. The song "Eyes" by "Rogue Wave" which apparently exists only on this soundtrack album shows up a couple of times during the first season of "Heroes" and I completely fell in love with it.

Heroes Song Eyes Pilot First Season

This is a great soundtrack with a lot of music I hadn't heard in years..I mainly wanted the track "Eyes", which I had a hard time finding anywhere else. Great song. I could have done without some of the kitschy songs from the movie that were not from real artists, just songs from actors in the movie, but overall I liked the soundtrack.

Like many, I bought this for... the song "Eyes." That song is worth the price of the album to me. I enjoyed the first three songs, but the rest didn't do much for me.

Everything was perfect. On my CD purchase, There was a sample available for each song to listen to before I purchased the item. Order process was simple. I received my CD within the time frame that amazon said it would be.
I tried all the retail stores in my area that sold CD'S, and not a single store had this CD available. One store could not even order it from their supplier because it was backordered. Thats when I decided to to order on-line which I rarely do. I was told amazon.com is good when it comes to availability. Sure enough they had it.

I was very pleased.
Thank you

I figured "Just Friends" to be funny since it is starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris. This movie is for anyone who had to love from afar thier best girl "friend". Although the situations are purposterous, it is still hillarious! Anna Faris' character steals the show! Buy this movie and you will watch it over and over again.

If you like this kind of humor you will love this. Also a very touching story and great soundtrack.

I don't remember a lot of the songs from the movie. I bought the album for the Samantha James track, "Forgiveness". I found this album to be worth more than that song alone. I'm not familiar with a lot of the bands on the album, but now I'm more interested in learning about them. This album is awesome!
