Let's hear it for girl-positive soundtracks! This one treads ground familiar to fans of Freaky Friday, though it skews younger, going easier on the rock. Most of the tracks are new, which is refreshing, and the best of the bunch hop and bounce with absolutely infectious verve. In fact, the first five are pretty unimpeachable slices of energetic pop, with Liz Phair reminding everybody that she can craft some of the best choruses in town, Joanna delivering classic "whoo-hoo"s on "Pretty Much Amazing," and the Donnas and Katie Melua bringing it all home with covers of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" and Robert Palmer's "Looking for Clues," respectively. Newcomers Price and Persephone's Bees play groovy 1960s songs, while J-Kwon and Cupid deliver light, party-happy hip-hop tracks. The sensitive, female-voiced side of things is represented by Corinne Bailey Rae's familiar "Like a Star" and Norwegian band Flunk's Björkish, acoustic-flavored cover of New Order's "Blue Monday," which is so mellow that it takes off the song's pained edge--although it wouldn't be entirely surprising if it turned into a surprise hit, as with Frente's cover of "Bizarre Love Triangle." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

4.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack Fun for Kids!, August 17, 2007

By	Deborah Dols (California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 9-year old daughter loves this soundtrack. The two of us have danced into the wee hours with this one. Most pre-teen music doesn't sound well to my ears--way too "boppy" or full of neg-attitude. On the other hand, this one has some quality, fun music that I can handle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great preteen movie, October 14, 2008

By	Julie A. Oliver "jao111" (Suttons Bay, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Loved this movie. It has a bit of the it's good to be different message in it. It is refreshingly different from the Disney Tween pop culture Hannah Monhighschoolmusical overload that is pushed down our throats whenever we attempt a movie night. Also, it is a great lead in to a perhaps undiscovered genre. My kids are reading Nancy Drew fanatically since seeing this movie.
