This soundtrack feels like listening to a stranger's iPod set to "random": The selection of old and new tracks doesn't make much sense, but something interesting floats to the surface more often than not, and the overall vibe is fun. It's a misshapen but oddly effective collection of perfect bop-your-head, hum-along songs, and ultimately the CD is a lot more satisfying than anybody who's seen the movie had any right to expect. Probably due to budget considerations, there aren't any big names or hits here--unless you count, ahem, Tone Loc and his "Funky Cold Medina" and Young MC’s "Bust a Move." Instead we get an Elvis Costello-ish number by Jags ("Back of My Hand," from 1979) and a Bruce Springsteen-esque song by the Michael Stanley Band ("He Can’t Love You," from 1980--complete with wailing sax). And while there's a Fatboy Slim track, it's actually one of his early efforts, under the Pizzaman alias ("Happiness"). Also of note are the undeservedly obscure Mink DeVille doing his 1978 cult hit "Spanish Stroll" while Brazilian hero Marco Valle offers the lilting samba of 1967’s "Os Grilos (Crickets Sing for Anamaria)." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

4.0 out of 5 stars You, Me, and Dupree, July 18, 2006

By	Jordan "Jordan" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

Simular to The Break Up original soundtrack, this soundtracks captures the charm of the movie. Not worth me listening to over-and-over, this soundtrack has some songs that are worth listening to but not much. If you like rock songs, you may like this. I like this, bit it's not worth staying in my CD player for more than two days in a row.

1. All Cause Of You _ The 88 5/5
2. Back Of My Hand _ Jags 3/5
3. Happiness _ Pizzaman 4/5
4. He Can't Love You _ The Michael Stanley Band 3/5
5. Got To Be Some Changes Made _ The Staple Singers 4/5
6. Funky Cold Medina _ Tone Loc 4/5
7. Spanish Stroll _ Mink DeVille 3/5
8. Spanish Moon _ Little Feat 3/5
9. Os Grilos (Crickets Sing For Anamaria) _ Marcos Valle 3/5
10. Bust A Move _ Young MC 5/5
11. Three Is A Magic Number _ Blind Melon 3/5
12. Dupree's Bonus Track "Funky Poodle" _ Wild Horses 3/5
