I am not a big fan of the recent CGI kids animated film trend. I am not a fan of Penguins, and I am not a fan of surfing. So why would I go to three different stores on this albums release day to try and find/pick it up? The music of course! There are plenty of good tracks on this CD, but I must be frank, I think I'm a little biased.

I am a HUGE fan of 311, if they werent on this album, I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I'm glad that I did. I was surprised that the 311 track didn't even end up being my favorite track. My favorite actually was the Dirty Heads track "Stand Tall." This si an awesome song with plenty of styles and genre's mixed into it.

As for the 311 song, it is a cover of a Toots song (I believe) and it is executed fairly well. My only gripe was the mention of the movie's characters within the song. Its nothing to big, but it sort of ruins the magic of the song, and makes it feel more commercialized. Thats not to say it isn't great, which it certainly is, it jsut feels a little forced.

In the end, its about the music, The new Sugar Ray track is also great, as long as all the classics that you love to hear and missed, or missed out on when they came around the first time (Radicals, Romantics, Big Nose, Pearl Jam, etc.)

Overall, great selections, but if your not a fan of any of the bands, I'd wait until it reaches the bargain section of a local CD store. But if you like 311, Sugar Ray, The Dirty Heads, and anyone else on this CD, buy it, because you will most likely love the rest of the album as well.

This CD has some great, easy to listen to music. We play it over and over. The songs give me the same feeling I get when I'm lying on the beach; very relaxing.

This is one of the best CD's I have bought this year. If you watched the movie and fell in love with the music, or if you just like fun surf beats, I PROMISE that you will enjoy this Soundtrack :)

NO REGRETS!

Saw movie, said 'have to have soundtrack'. We were dancin' in our seats watching film. Now we can listen to the music all the time. Not just for kids, definitely.

CD is good. kids love listening as much as parents. Got it fast, still in shrink wrap.

We love this CD! The kids love it because it's from one of their favorite movies, but even grown-ups can appreciate it because of the variety of artists. It's music that makes you feel good!

I'm a 19 year old college student and I got everyone hooked on this CD.

Great compilation of music!!!

Purchased this CD for my teenage son along with the DVD of the movie. He really digs this CD and the play list and artists. This is now a constant fixture in his car's CD player

We loved the movie so naturally we love the soundtrack. It is great summertime music or soak in the hot tub music. Great variety of music on here for the whole family. I highly recommend it!

I love this soundtrack, very smooth... One thing they forgot to add "Welcome To Paradise" by Green Day (when Cody gets on the beach). I don't know why they did not put it there. Reggae Got Soul, Stand Tall, Forrowest, What I Like About You are my favourites

Well have fun and enjoy this cool surfing compilation
