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

Music to Put You in a Great Mood!.......2006-06-29

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 sleep. I recommend you listen to those. Of course it also has a couple of classic older songs in there which are also good to rip to your Mp3 player and listen to when you are trying to just sit down and relax.

Now, keep in mind that if you saw the movie and loved it(I know I loved that movie), they have a couple of clips of some of the funny things said by the cast in the movie. You may want to check these out if you have time of course. Good luck and enjoy the soundtrack.

I've..........2005-06-13

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.

Nice album but if you're looking for GNR go here..........2005-03-22

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).

melanie c. is sporty spice, not scary spice.......2004-05-18

love the movie, love the soundtrack

Decent album from a decent movie.......2003-12-11

I bought this album b/c after watching the movie at the end I heard what i thought was gasp Guns N Roses! But it wasn't the original track b/c i have heard that many times so i thought maybe it was axl roses' NEW MATERIAL! finally but after buying the album i realized it was only sheryl crow. It's a decent cover of the song but ur better off just downloading some of the very hard to find guns n roses new stuff or just buying Appetite for Destruction if ur into Guns N Roses. the other stuff on the album is decent and makes this album worth about half of what i paid for it. It's also missing the Styx song from the movie.
