Is it forgivable that the second volume of songs from Adam Sandler's mid-'80s-revival comedy begins with Kajagoogoo's famously limp "Too Shy"? Not really, but the rest of the disc does a good job of recapitulating worthy memories from the era of torn-sweatshirt necks and mulletheads--not just with new-wave novelties but with Madonna and Hall & Oates staples ("Holiday" and "You Make My Dreams," respectively) as bouncy and glossy as anything the also-present Depeche Mode ("Just Can't Get Enough") and Dead or Alive ("You Spin Me Round [Like a Record]") ever put on the radio or MTV. The Cars' "It's All I Can Do" and the J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks" encapsulate the Sandler character's romantic frustrations, while the star's own "Grow Old with Me" actually points toward a serious career as a singer/songwriter for our boy.

Customer Reviews

Finally found it!
Aahh...the uniqueness of 80s music. Been looking for the Flying Lizards "Money" song since then. It's been on several movie sound tracks however it never made it on the 'sound track CD' until now. "Leisure Rules"

The Soundtrack I really wanted
I bought the original Soundtrack album, and then was disappointed that many of the songs I heard in the movie, and wanted, weren't on it.

It turns out I just needed to get this one instead! This was the music I grew up with, along with big hair, ripped denim, and the CD revolution...I'm soooo glad it's coming back, since my record collection is pretty useless!

More 80s music that you wouldn't lump together
While one laments the omission of 'Jam on it' by Newcleus and the chopping up of Adam Sandler's 'Grow Old With You' (if you sneeze the song is over), the soundtrack pretty much includes all the songs that people complained were missing from the first soundtrack, including 'Private Idaho', 'Money' and the aforementioned 'Grow Old With You'. Plus, how often do you see Hall & Oates on an 80s related soundtrack? Not as good as the first but still cool. Of course, I am biased having seen the movie 8 times, and would have bought this soundtrack had it contained pure drivel.
