    Editorial Reviews:

    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

    4 out of 5 stars Good Parts Outweigh the Bad   December 9, 1999
    Robert Iracane (Charlottesville, VA)
    5 out of 6 found this review helpful

    Although there are a few terrible songs on this album (Everlast's nonsense, Limp Bizkit's sad attempt, and Mel C), there are some great tracks: Garbage's now-ubiquitous When I Grow Up, Styx's classic Babe and BAD II's also-classic Rush. Also, if you don't know Rufus Wainwright, he's actually an interesting singer worth hearing. The dialogue clips also make this a must-buy for fans of the film.


    5 out of 5 stars It's all about Rufus Wainwright, Raise the Rufus   June 25, 1999
    5 out of 6 found this review helpful

    I have no idea why Rufus would have a song on this inane movie's soundtrack, but he does. This is the main reason to buy this CD. Garbage is great as well, and Sheryl Crow is ok, I like her cover of "Sweet Child of Mine", but she will never rock it like Axl Rose. Keep trying, maybe she can cover Motley Crue "Shout at the Devil" next. MAIN POINT, RUFUS IS DA MAN.


    4 out of 5 stars A lot of great songs, a few mediocre ones. Great overall.   October 11, 2000

    All right, I admit: I`m partial towards this album especially because it has a song ("When I Grow Up") by Garbage, my favorite band. However, there are many more great numbers on it, and I`m sure you will enjoy it even if you aren`t as Garbage-obsessed as I am. Sheryl Crow does an incredible remake of Guns and Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine", Limp Bisket rocks the album with "Just Like This", Shawn Mullins (of "Lullabye" fame), appears with "What is Life", and Melanie C. (whoever she is ;) does a cute little number called "Ga Ga". The last track, "The Kangaroo Song", will give those of you who've seen the movie smiling memories of that adorable little boy demanding to watch his favorite movie. My favorite parts of the album, though (except for Garbage's number, of course) are the dialogues from the movie that are inserted between the songs. They are laugh-out-loud funny no matter how many times you listen to them. If Adam Sandler and "Big Daddy" make you laugh, buy this CD to keep the laughter coming, and enjoy great music at the same time.


    5 out of 5 stars For All Personalities   December 30, 1999
    2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    Whoa! Afer I listened to this cd I was just like wow! and i told all of my friends about it. they all love and obsess over this awesome cd! It's for all music personalities. If you're into oldies and 70's and 80's stuff, you'll enjoy the rockin' songs by styx and other artists. I'm not a fan of older songs but I really enjoyed the styx songs. if you're into comedy, you'll looove the Kangaroo Song. If you've seen the movie, you'll know what i mean, and I love Dance/Rock music. This cd has plenty of it with Garbage and Limp Bizciut! everyone loves the movie dialouges. On this cd there's everything from blues to alternative. There's so many awesome songs on this cd but I don't want to fill up a whole page sharing my thoughts, so just simply Buy this cd! If not, you'll miss out on some great music, you can play at parties, or just on your Sony Discman!
