Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
A football comedy about the 1987 NFL players' strike, in which Keanu Reeves plays a scab quarterback on the losing end of a career while coach Gene Hackman and team owner Jack Warden lord over the unfortunate proceedings, features a quirky collection of tracks from the past. Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem "I Will Survive" has more lives than a cat and is sure to go down alongside Queen's "We Will Rock You" as an enduring sports anthem. Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll Part Two" proves the timeless vintage of 1970s glam. But it's Young M.C .'s "Bust a Move" that retains the most flavor, hailing from that late-1980s vantage point when hip-hop was younger and more kinetic. The addition of Orange County, California, alternative rockers Lit is a surprise. Whereas Marky Mark should probably stick to underwear ads and acting, in that order. But, pray tell, why weren't the punk band the Replacements included in what would so obviously be a starring role on this soundtrack? --Rob O'Connor

2.0 out of 5 stars These tracks need replacements, September 19, 2000

By	Nicholas M. Laiso (Bensalem, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first saw the movie, 'The Replacements' I was literally astounded at how many different songs the movie used. This movie was stocked full of tunes ranging from classic to top 40 to jock jams. Now that it's out I would like to smack the team that put this CD together. Make no mistake, the content of the CD is good, but it has nowhere near the potential it could have had. Missing from the CD are great classics such as Queen's 'We will rock you' and 'Every Move you Make' by the Police. I would have to see the movie again to compile a complete list of what is missing but trust me, it's A LOT. It's a dissapointing end to over a month's long wait for this soundtrack. If the price is right I would recommend it but you wouldn't catch me paying more than $15 for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The movie was solid...but the soundtrack was a little weak, December 26, 2002

By A Customer

I waited in anticipation for the soundtrack to "The Replacements" to be released...and only to be slightly dissapointed after purchasing it. They should have released the soundtrack as a 2 CD set....one with the music score and the other with the tracks in the film. All the standards were there..I Will Survive, Rock and Roll Part 2, Bust A Move...but I really expected more.

Some of the following songs from the film were missing from the Soundtrack:
Amanda Marshall - Ride (Tuesday's Child) When falco gets nailed by Bateman the second time in practice.
The Rolling Stones - Blinded By Rainbows (Voodoo Lounge)
The Rolling Stones - You Got Me Rocking (Voodoo Lounge)
The Rolling Stones - Moon Is Up (Voodoo Lounge)
Groove Armada - If Everybody Looked The Same (The Next Best Thing)
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You (13 Tales from Urban Bohemia) Plays before fight during bar scene and when the Sentinals are entering the field for the second half against Dallas.
EMF - Unbelievable
Marky Mark - Good Vibrations

Could have been an @ss kicken soundtrack.....only worth buying if your a diehard fan of the film!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a soundtrack, but a joke, August 22, 2001

By	Robert Wilkins (Finksburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews

My whole family had rented The Replacements again over the weekend and we all loved the music so much that we decided that we HAD to get the soundtrack. Well, it's a shell game. It is no soundtrack. Everyone of the Stones songs in the movie, the remix of "Hero", and many other great tunes are NOT, I repeat, NOT on this piece of junk CD. Those songs are what gave the movie some punch and feeling, they are important to the film. I also noted that there are bogus photos in the CD jacket and one of the pictures of the players has been flipped, so his number reads 18 instead of 81.

The jokers who created this CD should be ashamed of themselves for duping people into believing that this piece of plastic had something to do with the movie. It doesn't. Don't waste a dime on this...I only gave it one star, because I had to. It deserves none.
