Details: Review The album is roughly divided into neat thirds: an opening splash of trendy alt-rock ... a slew of hip-hop and R&B (including decent remixes of Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes tracks), followed by a batch of dis-Counting Crows angst rock.... The movie's title is lifted from the old Replacements song, which is included for a dose of '80s nostalgia. An astutely programmed soundtrack, yes--but for all the effort, the highlight is still Rhymes sampling the Knight Rider theme. -- Entertainment Weekly Amazon.ca This is a soundtrack that runs like a fun mix tape from an eclectic friend. It's music to put the top down and hit the highways to, songs that bounce from soul, pop, funk, rap, and back. Smashmouth look to have another massive hit with their cover of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby." The song's fun beat and organ sounds suit the band (and summertime) perfectly. Fans of Third Eye Blind, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, and KP & Envyi will want to check out the soundtrack's unreleased remixes. The Missy Elliott remix of "Hit Em Wit Da Hee" in particular is a solid slow jam. The CD is dotted with some classic tracks such as the title track by the Replacements, "Flashlight" from Parliament, "Paradise City" from Guns N' Roses, and the sure party starter "It's Tricky" from Run DMC. --Jim Young
