Editorial Review:
Adam Sandler plays an immature 32-year-old who adopts a son to prove to the girlfriend who just dumped him that he can be responsible. Those familiar with Sandler's Saturday Night Live shenanigans won't be surprised by his behavior, and several of the movie's bits are interspersed throughout the soundtrack. For the music, it's a mix of straightforward rock (Garbage with "When I Grow Up," which sounds suspiciously like Vanity Fair's "Hitchin' a Ride"), unexpected covers (Sheryl Crow refining Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine," Everlast and the White Folx tripping out on Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart"), '70s kitsch (Styx's "Babe" and Yvonne Elliman's disco anthem "If I Can't Have You"), and inquisitive singer-songwriters (Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Mullins, who asks the George Harrison question "What Is Life?"). Melanie C (Scary Spice) surprises with the rock-oriented "Ga Ga." Just in case things seem too serious, Tim Herlihy ends things with the Mr. Rogers-like "The Kangaroo Song." --Rob O'Connor

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great soundtrack!
The movie was hilarious, so for some reason I can't quite recall, I bought the soundtrack!
Funny, funny stuff on there, including the "Kangaroo Song"!
Adam Sandler = funny!
Rating:  - A soundtrack by any other name
Although this was a standard Adam Sandler spoof on what we all wish we could do ( slack off). The Movie was very entertaining and worthwhile. You should watch Cole and Dillon Sprouse in their very own right on the Disney Channel( they played Julian). This soundtrack displays some very good material. Although some of the weak points were with Limp bizkit's contribution and the addition of Dialogue from the movie as well. I think all in all this soundtrack covers a lot of ground and does a well rounded ... Read More
Rating: - Music to Put You in a Great Mood!
I hope you like this soundtrack as much as I did. I listen to this soundtrack in the car while I am driving home from work in traffic. For what it's worth, the music is very cheery and I think if you are into alternative you will like it as much as I did. The songs I liked the most on the soundtrack were: "Rush", "Sweet Child O'Mine", "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "When I Grow Up", "What is Life". Those are the ones that I usually repeat in my car because they are really upbeat and don't put you to ... Read More
Rating: - I've...
I've seen this movie literally at least 45 times. I know the whole movie by heart, and i really actually liked this soundtrack. I reccomend this movie and soundtrack.
Rating: - Nice album but if you're looking for GNR go here...
Nice album but FYI if you're looking for GNR like one of the other reviewers was, until the new album is for sale on Amazon you can find the new material the reviewer was talking about (as well as other examples of new GNR material) at... www .newgnr. com /dloads/audio/ (without the sapces of course).
