I bought this CD years ago and have enjoyed listening to the upbeat music, and also the spoken parts, especially when Billy's dad says "FOOT-ball... boxing... wrestling..." - a classic movie moment! ;>
I agree with some of the other reviews in that it's a shame not all the wonderful music from the film is on the CD, but unfortunately that seems to be the case with so many CDs of film (and TV) soundtracks (although there often seems to be a few "ring-ins" - songs which were meant for the film, but didn't make it onto the screen, or perhaps just in the final credits!)
That said, I can't listen to these guaranteed mood lifters without wanting to dance - and I dare you not to bop along too! :>
My only complaint is the version I have is an "enhanced CD" with the movie trailer: this in itself is great, but I can't rip any of the songs for my ipod. Ironically, the "bonus" movie trailer imports fine. Has anyone else had this problem and/or does anyone out there have any suggestions!? I've done a bit of a surf and I can't see a way around this problem - and I don't really want to buy it as a download when I already have the CD!
