2.0 out of 5 stars Where's BM, Aerosmith?, August 27, 2004

I can't believe Barry Manilow and Aerosmith were left out. Looking at the quality of some of the other songs on the soundtrack, maybe it is better for them not to be associated with it. It is bad enough that the Carpenters tune is missing but "Can't smile without you" opens the movie and "Sweet emotion" ends it. The soundtrack should have followed that formula.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better..., May 24, 2004

This soundtrack isn't a total loser. There are some definite highlights such as; "Dazz" by Brick an all-time favorite. Chicago's "Old Days" is a great 70's tune and a great way to open this disc. "Afternoon Delight" is truly is a delightful piece of pop confection. I always enjoy anything by Bill Withers. But the album would have been better without the cover versions by Owen Wilson, Dan Finnerty, and Brigette Romanek. The originals are far superior.
A few songs in the movie that were not included would have made the soundtrack much better. One is Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion", a great 70's hard rock tune. The other is the Carpenters' classic "We've Only Just Begun". I'm sure though that royalties for "We've Only Just Begun" are very expenisve.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 9, 2004

David Soul's version of "Don't Give Up On Us" was not included - to me, that would have been the ONLY reason to purchase this CD. David Soul has a wonderful voice, and shouldn't have been mocked by Owen Wilson's version. But after listening to this CD, if I were David Soul, I'd keep my version of the song off of this CD. There's only two original version songs that I liked. And the original Starsky & Hutch theme song should have been included on here. I know the movie's a re-make, but let's not forget the originals, they can never be replaced!
