"Upon walking out of this decently made film, I quickly raced to the store to pick-up what I assumed would be a soundtrack full of classic rock sounds and rock favorites, which were so eloquently put in the film as safe haven in which Adam Sandler's character, Charlie Fineman, lives in on what seems like almost a 24 hour basis. Unfortunately, there was NO Bruce Springstein, Jackson Browne, The Who or even Pearl Jam. Bands, whose songs drove the plot and characters in the movie. The powerful scenes in, which were sync with "Love reign O'er Me" by The Who, and sounds of the Boss's "River" album were non-existent. Why bother even putting the soundtrack on the shelves of your local store, not to mention purchasing it and putting it in your personal collection."

"I want my money back!!! Who cares about background music, if I want Muzak I'll just ride in the elevator for a couple hours. This album contains NONE of the awesome and compelling songs that were such an integral part of this film. What a complete letdown...."

"i also went out immediately after this film to buy the soundtrack and i was so disappointed. I loved the film mainly because the tone that was set by the FANTASTIC music. it makes no sense that in a film so music based that the soundtrack contains NONE of the songs. limewire here i come."
A Review for the MUSIC

"I was tempted to give this CD 5 stars to try and help counteract all the 1 star reviews that were written by all those people who didn't do their homework before purchasing. Many reviewers rated this 1 star because it didn't have the music they were looking for on it. However the music that is actually on this CD is amazingly beautiful. It is, as one reviewer stated, understated jazz, and NOT, what another reviewer stated, muzak. This CD is rich with atmospheric textures and paints an aural landscape. True, it is somewhat melancholic, but that is part of the beauty of this amazing CD. If you are looking for the classic rock tracks that adorned the movie, skip this. If you are looking for a great, atmospheric jazz CD, this one is a winner."
Deceived by soundtrack

"That's exactly what it was, a 'sound' track, it was just background music, I wanted get the feel of the scenes through the classic rock songs of the film. Don't even hear one! It must be a copyright, legal issue. This just happened to be the 3rd film I've wanted the soundtrack for only to find no soundtrack or just background music. I think the front of the CD should state that the music is the music score or the songs actually heard in the film."
