Jawbreaker: Music From The Motion Picture [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews

A teen film ought to have a cheap and sleazy teen soundtrack, something frivolous and silly. Resurrecting German heavy-metal legends the Scorpions ("Rock You Like a Hurricane," no less) satisfies the silly part. For frivolous, there are several generic '90s alterna-rockers sounding a bit more charged (Letters to Cleo, Ednaswap). Not to be lost in the shuffle are Imperial Teen, who sashay in with a sprightly, silly romp called "Yoo Hoo," while most of the others recall the fun, fun, fun vibe of retro-rock of years past. Shampoo evince the excitability of early-'80s new wave with "Don't Call Me Babe." The Friggs' "Bad Word for a Good Thing" re-creates the neo-garage revival of the mid '80s. The Donnas approximate the Kim Fowley-inspired female teen dream of the Runaways. The Prissteens squash the '60s girl-group formula through a ratty distortion pedal. Break out the Clearasil! --Rob O'Connor

not bad, but could be better.......2006-05-11

this soundtrack wasn't too bad. it was missing some essential songs such as the veruca salt classic "volcano girls" and the cars' "good times roll" but other than that there are a lot of kick-ass songs on there. My top songs would be the following:

Don't Call Me Babe
Yoo Hoo
Water Boy
Trouble (only featured in theatrical trailer, not actual film)

Alright.......2006-04-30

I really liked all the songs in this movie. They weren't used exessively and flowed with what was going on in the movie. The only problem I have is that the song that's playing when Julie is walking under the bleachers isn't on the soundtrack. Does anyone know what this is?

This CD was so good I almost choked on my jawbreaker!.......2005-06-18

I loved this CD a lot. I heard of the movie Jawbreaker through the Donnas website, back in 2003 because they did a cameo in it near the end. This movie is great and the soundtrack has yet to dissapoint me. A lot of the bands are indie artist that I never heard of until I bought the soundtrack. These bands are awesome!! This is what I think about each song:

1. "Yoo Hoo" - Imperial Teen: this song I find funny. But, out of all the songs I find funny (for example, "Ice Ice Baby") this has got to be the better one of them all. It's decent and fun to dance to (although none of you would wanna see me dance ^_*).

2. "I See" - Letters to Cleo: I already have the original CD this song came on so it's safe to say this song is awesome. Plus I love Kay Hanley. Women in rock rule!

3. "Next To You" - Ednaswap: This song is pretty decent. It's not my favorite, yet I love it!!

4. "Don't Call Me Babe" - Shampoo: I can't get this song out of my head. I love how heavy it is. Plus the fact that (I believe) it's Brit-Pop is awesome ^_*

5. "Bad Word For A Good Thing" - The Friggs: I love this song. I had heard it on a commercial and fell in love with it. Then, upon renting and watching this for the first time, I descovered this song yet again and loved it even more. Eventually I looked it up here on Amazon.Com to find out who did it and fell in love with the band. By the way, what happened to them?

6. "Stay In Bed" - Grand Mal: This is a really good song also. I completely enjoyed it =)

7. "Flow" - Transister: I can't stand slow songs, I don't know why, but I do like this song. I don't listen to it as much as the rest of the CD, but I do, on occasion, listen to it. Great vocals!

8. "She Bop" - Howie Bend: I'm not crazy about this song. The vocals are also great, but I don't like it that much. I've only heard 30 seconds of this, though, before changing the track #, so I'll have to go re-listen to this... so don't take this song's review to heart (although I doubt you'd take this whole review to heart, lol)

9. "Water Boy" - Imperial Teen: Also by the same group who did "Yoo Hoo". Although I liked "Yoo Hoo" better, I enjoy this one the same.

10. "Rock You Like A Hurricane" - Scorpions: I love the oldies! Whenever I hear this song, I start to get into it. Rockers can't help but love this song. If they don't, then they're crazy & hate the oldies!

11. "Rock 'N' Roll Machine" - The Donnas: My favorite group ever! They are the reason I bought this movie, but not the reason I bought the soundtrack (this song appears on their debut album "American Teenage Rock 'N' Roll Machine"). The other song they perform in the prom scene "Checkin' It Out" (which is also on their debut disc) should've been on the soundtrack. Otherwise, no complaints!

12. "Beat You Up" - The Prissteens: This song is pretty fun, too. I enjoyed how 50s-inspired it is! Although, back in the 1950s, I doubt they'd be singing about beating someone up...

13. "Trouble" - Shampoo: This is yet another fun song. (Note: fun songs are the songs I think are cool. I should've mentioned this earlier....) I believe this is a remake...? It's a very good song except for the fact they shout a bit. I still think their other song, "Don't Call Me Babe", was better.

See? I think it's pretty good. I think this soundtrack, in the words of Allison Robertson of the Donnas (although using it about the soundtrack and not one of their songs) "Is very profound... as I kept going on about it..."

this is the best soundtrack ever!.......2003-10-20

This is one of the best "teen movie" soundtrack's I herad in a while. The only thing that got me is that "volcano girls" and "heartbreaker" was not included in it( ????!!!???) but other then that, great soundtrack! My favorite track is the song called "Flow" by transister. Very haunting and Beautiful!
