I guess if you want the real soundtrack, you will have it piece it together yourself at I-tunes...

When I saw this movie, I thought this is a soundtrack I got to have. I went out and bought it the next day. It took about 10 minutes for me to realize that I'd made a huge mistake. The soundtrack is not really a "soundtrack". I could hardly pick out the songs on the CD as being songs in the movie. I was really looking forward to the diverse mix of rock and hip-hop that was in the movie, but all that the soundtrack has is Nelly, Nelly, Nelly. Where's the other cool songs from the movie? My review is one star because they won't allow less than that!

Yea that's different and prolly a double CD...off to iTunes :)

This cd only contains rap, hip hop, r&b. I wish it had the classic rock, jazz and blues songs it had in the movie. I am very dissapointed with this cd.

Where are the songs that were IN the movie?!? Do not waste your money. The movie has great songs, they are not here.

This soundtrack did not do justice to the music played in the movie. Right after the movie my girlfriend and I said, "Oh my gosh, we have to get this cd!" Then I see the songs listed on the cd, and not everything is on there. I was awfully disappointed. There is some good music on this cd, but honestly they should have stretched to the longest yard

just watched the movie and these songs do not match with the music that was in the movie.
so why call it a soundtrack cause it's not.
youd think they could release a sound track with songs from the movie, not some music that was inspired by the movie.

If you went to the movie and enjoyed the music, just be aware that this CD is not a true soundtrack. Many good songs just aren't on it. I was very disappointed. If you are a big Nelly fan you will probably enjoy this CD, otherwise be warned.

What the hell happened to the rock tracks! I distinctly remember several rock tracks, two ACDC ones even. I go to get the album, they aren't there! What is up with that. As it is, rap sucks, then they slap me in the face by putting only rap on this CD? Un@#$#$@believable. This is one CD I won't be buying.

Saw the movie on Friday went looking for the sound track on Saturday. To say it was a joke was an understatement. The movie's got a great mix of classic rock and new rap including some great AC/DC cuts. You won't find ANY of that good old stuff on this CD. Want to see how bad this CD is? Go look and see how many copies of it are sitting on the shelves of your local music store. The National chain I went to find it at had 5 slots full of these drink coasters. Ended up buying some other CD's that were on sale. A much better investment than this sound track.
