I received it!.......2006-12-05

Thanks a lot and finaly I received my CD.It's exactly what I was expecting. Very good!

Everything but Thriller.......2006-11-06

Lots of your '80s favorites! We were disappointed that Thriller was not included. But, we knew that it wasn't before we purchased.

80's retro fans - a collection worth having.......2006-10-14

This is a great collection of very 80's tunes ... from the decade that just doesn't go away (like the 60's) ... great selection for the movie soundtrack. Brings back the lost days of youth ... and the songs that dominated the airwaves back then.

Pure 80's Bubblegum! Yay!.......2006-07-14

The Go-Go's! Rick Springfield! Belinda Carlisle! Vanilla Ice! Madonna!...................................................
This can only mean one thing-the 80's! Just as the setting from the movie features Jenna living in the mid/late 80's, the soundtrack brings back some old favorites along with some 90's pop that a modern Jenna probably would have bopped along to as well. The result: an upbeat, catchy mix that most fans of the movie will want to snatch up pronto, as this is one of the best soundtracks to a romantic comedy in quite some time. While some may dismiss the soundtrack as pure bubblegum, instead of buying one of those Best Of The 80's discs at Wal-Mart or so, this soundtrack is more than likely the better bet. It can't go wrong with songs like Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl, Madonna's Crazy For You, and Pat Benatar's Love Is A Battlefield.
The FINAL verdict: pick up a copy of this, as Jenna would say, fun, fabulous, and flirty soundtrack no matter whether you're a pop music lover, an 80's music lover, or both.

1.The Go-Go's, Head Over Heels-A cute fun song. It's played more than once in the movie and fits the high-energy, cutesy theme perfectly. 4/5
2. Rick Springfield, Jessie's Girl-A true 80's classic! I love Jessie's Girl and it would be a sin NOT to put it on this soundtrack. 4/5
3. Talking Heads, Burning Down The House-Before you write this song off as quirky and strange, some will actually find that it's a fun and good song to sway your head back and forth to. 4/5
4. Belinda Carlisle, Mad About You-I know, all Go-Go's and Belinda fans will hate me for this, but personally, I think this song sucks. The tune is awful and bland, and Belinda's normally good voice isn't showcased here at all. I expected better, and this song just doesn't fit the bill. 2/5
5. Whitney Houston, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)-This song is so good! I first heard it in the movie and then in the American Idol Game Boy Game, and I loved it! I was singing it all the time and it's a pure 80's classic. It's a good dancing song, and when I heard it, I knew it was an 80's song, and that's why it fits so perfectly on this soundtrack. 4/5
6. Lillix, What I Like About You-An awesome song, that, although it's not 80's, fits the teen girl/pop-music theme perfectly. I love it! 5/5
7. Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby-I know this is an 80's classic and all, and it's definitely different, but I just don't see the deal here. It's OK and kinda funky, but not really all THAT great. 3/5
8. Madonna, Crazy For You-I don't like Madonna for more than obvious reasons, but this song is just superb! It has an awesome tune that's great to sing along to, and it would, like I have stated earlier, be a shame to NOT have put it on this soundtrack. Also, it was just a really wise choice to put this song at the end of the movie with the movie's storybook ending. 4/5
9. Billy Joel, Vienna-This song is good as well! I like the song very much itself, and it fits the whole train scene where Jenna's remorseful about how she's treated her parents and everything over the years. Thumbs up! 4/5
10. Liz Phair, Why Can't I?-Oh my gosh! This is my theme song! I sing it all the time and I absoultely love it! It's not an 80's song but it fits the theme of the movie so well and I have fallen in love with it! 5/5
11. Soft Cell, Tainted Love-Apparently another 80's classic as well, (I don't know. I wasn't around!), this song is OK and you can hear the whole "mechanical beat" background again in Rihanna's new smash single, SOS. 3/5
12. Pat Benatar, Love Is A Battlefield-An awesome song! It's basically a song about woman power, and it ROCKS! I love Love Is A Battlefield AND Pat Benatar, and it really went in well that it was Jenna's favorite song also. 4/5
13. Ingram Hill, Will I Ever Make It Home-I don't really know too much about this particular artist, but, if I'm not mistaken, they sound more 90's rather than 80's to me. Their sound is a little like Backstreet Boys meets Nickelback with more of a pop edge, and it's good. 3/5

Great Movie Great Soundtrack.......2005-10-26

The movie was great and the music is awesome. All the songs have a great beat and I find that you can easily exercise to this soundtrack. It just puts you in a great mood.
