The first time I saw Freaky Friday it had me totally cracking up and the songs were just amazing. Three days later I went out and bought the soundtrack and it is worth every penny!! This CD goes for everything: If you're down, hyper, dancing, driving studying it is a perfect blend but viewers should be warned that it is mostly punk rock. Not that that's a bad thing because I love punk rock! Anyways I took a little time to review each song separately:
1. "Ultimate" by Lindsay Lohan- 10/10 This is a good song the guitar part is very enjoyable and Lindsay Lohan's voice is good^Where song comes in movie: This is the song that Lindsay's band plays at the end of the movie during the credits.
2."Happy Together" by Simple Plan- 10/10 This song is very jerky in a good way. If you like headbanging, this is a good song for you. Simple Plan does a perfect rendition of this classic song and this is GREAT for dancing around to in your room.
^Where song comes in movie: At the very beginning of the movie when Anna won't get out of her bed and her mom is painting her nails and doing yoga.
3."What I like about you" by Lillix- 9/10 This is another rendition done perfectly by Lillix. This is a song that will get stuck in your head, believe me. Like "Take me away" there is a guitar solo in the middle of it. I like all of the "heys"
^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as her mom tries on the clothes, shoes, gets her hair cut and pierces her ear.
4."The art of losing" by American Hi-Fi- 10/10 This song just shouts PUNK PUNK PUNK!! This is one of the better songs on the album and I love the "wooohohs"
^Where song comes in movie: The part where Anna keeps on getting hit in the head with a volleyball and when she hits Stacey in the head with one.
5."Brand New Day" by Forty Foot Echo- 11/10 This is one of the only ballads--well it is the only ballad in the album and I think it is really cute and AAAAAW! This song shows that it's possible to have a rock/ballad combo!!
^Where song comes in movie: THE KISS!!! Oh and the dance too...
6. "Me vs. the world" by Halo Friendlies- 8/10 I just wasnt't crazy for this one don't ask why but it still is a pretty good song I like the beginning ltrics though.
^Where song comes in movie: I have no idea!
7. "Take me away" by Christina Vidal- 12/10 This is the song Anna's band plays at "The house of blues" This song has great guitar parts and the song itsself has a catchy rhythm! This is a great song for karaoke!
^Where song comes in movie: When they practice the song in the garage and at The House of Blues
8. ... Baby one more time (Intro) by Chad Michael Murray- 9/10 You see the name Chad Michael Murray and think "Didn't he play Jake?" Well yes but this is when he sings this song to Tess from the window outside . Even though I think it's a bit of a joke I think it is very funny when he tries to squeak out "Still believe" GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
^Where song comes in movie: When Jake stands outside of Anna's house and sings Baby one more time offkey to Tess.
9. "...Baby one more time" By Bowling For Soup- 9/10 To be honest this rendition of the song is better than Britney's! Still has that punk sort of feel to it!!
^Where song comes in movie: When Tess and Jake are in the coffeshop singing to it.
10. "Backstage" By the Donnas- 10/10 I like how the lead singer's voice is kind of in the background and I like how they blend electric with acoustic guitar. All in all pretty good
^Where song comes in movie: When Tess is backstage getting ready to go onstage
11. "She is beautiful" by Andrew W.K.- 11/10 I LOVE the beginning with the creative guitar. This is more of hiphop/punk and is VERY good!
^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as Tess is being passed around the audience of the talk show
12. "I wonder" by Diffuser- 8/10 Has sort of a Simple Plan feel but other than that nothing special it has cool voice range though!
^Where song comes in movie: ?
13. "Beauty Queen" by Lash- 10/10 Again more PUNK and this tune will stay stuck in your head! This is a perfect song to play when putting on makeup or getting ready haha!
^Where song comes in movie: When Tess as Anna runs into her room to get the fortune cookie!
14. "Just let me cry" by Ashlee Simpson- 11/10 Just because Ashlee Simpson is Jessica SImpson's little sister, don't be prejudiced about this song cause this is one of the best on the album! It's a mix of pop/ballad and it's very good!
^Where song comes in movie: When Anna gets out of the car and is walking through her high school and finds that someone is wearing the same shirt as her the horrors!
15. "What a wonderful world" by Joey Ramone- 6/10 I think this song is in Madeline too but yeah anyways... This is another good rendition of a song thumping guitar though!!
^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as Tess is riding on the motorcycle with Jake!
16. "Fortune Cookie" by Rolfe Kent- 10/10 This song is an eye-opener because the album goes from PUNK PUNK PUNK to classic and it's a little strange but this song is good it basically reflects on the entire movie of when it had classical music. Very cute and worth listening to!!
^Where song comes in movie: When they are at the restaruant, in the teachers lounge, at the wedding basically everywhere!
Best songs on the album in my opinion: Happy Together, Take me Away, Brand New Day, She is Beatiful, Just Let Me Cry, Ultimate
Best ROMANTIC songs: Brand New Day since it is the only ballad on the album
Best UPBEAT LOVING LIFE SONG: What I like about you, Ultimate
THIS WAS A GREAT ALBUM FOR ALL AGES I REALLY ENJOYED IT I HOPE YOU DID TOO!
