"I just saw the movie Whip It on sunday and I must say that it's one of the best movies I have see this year. Drew Barrymore's directorial debut is very quirky and heartfelt which is what drew me to it. I could also connect with Ellen Page's character. Another important element in the film is the soundtrack which I will admit that the reason why I bought it is because I am a huge fan of The Breeders. They are one of my favorite bands but also because of the song that was used very brilliantly in the pool scene, Your Arms Around Me by Jens Lekman. I fell in love with that scene and the song and I knew that I had to buy the soundtrack. The song reminds me a little bit of Morrisey and The Smiths but I mean that in a good way because The Smiths are the best band ever.



Anyway, this album introduced me to a lot of great underground music that I need to get into. Director Drew Barrymore and music supervisor Randall Poster have put together a unique blend of music that really puts you into Bliss's world and with the characters and settings. Just like the movie, some songs are fun and some are very beautiful and full of heart. I can't think of a better soundtrack that I have herd in awhile. Also, there is a linor note by Drew Barrymore in the booklet that really explains how she put together the music for the film. I couldn't have said it any better then her when she describes music and film. "This soundtrack is my mix tape for you", says Barrymore and I must say that she put together the best and most impressive mix of music that I have herd for a film in a while. She really is a genius I think and such a talented director that I hope to see more great work from her in the future.



If you were touched by this film and the music in it as much as I was then you need to buy this soundtrack, you won't be dissapointed."

You can't go wrong

"Fantastic music from an excellent movie based on a great book. If nothing else, buy this. You really can't go wrong. It really doesn't have a genre, but no matter what you'll have at least two songs stuck in your head within 48 hrs of buying this album. Go for it! :D"

Fun!

"This soundtrack caught my ear initially when I saw the movie, of course! I had to buy it to listen to some of the tracks in their entirety. Most of the music is very upbeat and I listen to them while I jog on my Ipod. If you liked the movie, you'll undoubtedly like the soundtrack."
