An oddball collection of tracks serve as a soundtrack. Three previously-released B-sides by 80's bands (TFF's "New Star", U2's "Dancing Barefoot" and Duran Duran's "Make Me Smile") are perhaps the strangest items here, but they're all OK. General Public's take on the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There" is OK but starts to grate after awhile. Other highlights include New Order's inarguable "Bizarre Love Triangle" (which appears in an odd single mix), and The The's catchy "That Was the Day". Nothing on this album is truly bad, although several songs (Brad's "Buttercup", Teenage Fanclub's "Like a Virgin") simply aren't interesting. Probably worth picking up cheap.

This is one of my favorite chase-away-the-blues albums. The music is so upbeat and cheery, it can't help but get you dancing. I think Teenage Fanclub does a much better "Like a Virgin" than Madonna, although U2's cover of "Dancing Barefoot" doesn't carry the weight of Patti Smith's version. How many movies has "Bizarre Love Triangle" appeared in? Well, no matter, this New Order song doesn't get old, and it perks me right up.

I like nearly every song on this soundtrack. It's nice to be able to listen to a movie soundtrack and think of the accompanying scene as opposed to one that is either loaded with instrumental music or tunes that weren't in the movie.

I especially love U2's "Dancing Barefoot." Not only is U2 a great band in general but their soundtrack work is just as good as their regular material. I also enjoyed Duran Duran's "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)." I tended to think of them as just a band of the 80's but was proved wrong.

The movie was enjoyable and so is the soundtrack.

I used to have this soundtrack as a tape and it died...that was several years ago, and now i'm buying it as a cd. i love it. the songs are fun, and the movie was hysterical!
