This is a teenage movie with Mandy Moore starring, so clearly when I saw it I thought it would be full of pop music. I was so wonderfully deceived. I'm a 16 year old myself, but having artits such as The Flaming Lips and The Donnas, both of which amazing bands without enough recognition, and unknown songs by mainstream artists such as John Mayer. I love Cat Stevens, so i was bucoup impressed with that. The most delightful suprise of all was the Beth Orton song. I've been a fan for many years, but no one my age knows her. All-in-all it is a great soundtrack for a phenomonal movie. I could do without the Liz Phair song, but who couldn't. I was taken aback by the music choices, and it was a thrill. I'm so greatful that people my age may finally realize what good music is all about.
