Pro Reviews: Freaky Friday
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The soundtrack to the remake of Disney's classic generation gap switcheroo Freaky Friday definitely reflects the musical tastes of the movie's teenage girl instead of her mother, with whom she trades bodies. Crafting a soundtrack that reflected both mother and daughter's favorite songs might have been a more clever move, but packing the album with teen-pop, punk and modern rock was probably a more marketable one. Like most teen-movie soundtracks, Freaky Friday is something of a mixed bag, offering a lot of mediocre songs and a few good ones. Falling into the second category are tracks like American Hi-Fi's Green Day-esque "The Art of Losing," the Donna's snotty "Backstage," Andrew W.K.'s anthemic "She is Beautiful" and Joey Ramone's cover of "What a Wonderful World," which somehow manages to remain true to his musical heritage as well as Louis Armstrong's better-known version. Most of the other covers on this soundtrack don't fare as well, though: Simple Plan, Lillix and Bowling For Soup turn in ham-fisted versions of the Turtles' "Happy Together," the Romantics' "What I Like About You" and Britney Spears' "... Baby One More Time," respectively. Likewise, the fiesty-girl rock that populates the album -- meant to reflect the Avril Lavigne-esque lead in the movie, who has her own rock band -- runs the gamut. Aside from the aforementioned Donnas, the album also offers up songs from several other female artists, ranging from the rather teen-poppy "Ultimate" by Lindsay Lohan to Lash's sneering, strutting "Beauty Queen." Unfortunately, the Halo Friendlies' "Me Vs. The World" and Christina Vidal's "Take Me Away" sound like they were recorded by the same band under different names. While it has a few bright moments, the soundtrack ends up being all too predictable; ironically, Freaky Friday's main problem is that its music isn't nearly freaky enough. - Heather Phares, All Music Guide |

This is a satisfying CD whether you are into pop, rock or punk. My mom even liked it. Lindsay Lohan's musical debut was a lot better than I would have anticipated. The song "Ultimate" which is featured as the first song on the soundtrack will be stuck in your head all day. Other favourites of mine would have to be "Happy Together" by Simple Plan, "Backstage" by the Donnas and "Take Me Away" by Christina Vidal. This CD is a total showcase of the hottest upcoming young artists bound to take over the airwaves.
My absolute favourite song on the album would have to be "What I Like About You" by the new Canadian pop-rock sensation girl group Lillix (Tasha-Ray, Lacey-Lee, Louise and Kim). You know what song that is! It's the one from the movie that had you dancing in your movie seat when it came on! These girls put a modern fun rock twist on an amazing classic song. Think that was too many positive adjectives for one group? Take a listen for yourself. I'm sure after listening to their cover of the Romantic's classic hit on the Freaky Friday soundtrack, you will no doubt be intruiged to pick up their debut album "Falling Uphill". Their album and the Freaky Friday soundtrack are definitely the must have albums of the summer before you get back to school!
Overall an awesome CD. This is one of those great CD's that you won't have to skip songs with - though you might be like me and love Lillix's cover song so much that you put it on repeat ;) ...
