Spoiler alert scale: 6/10 (Key info and then some) Perhaps from a longer cut? Or maybe it was contractual.

A bonus track by popular 90s band Stabbing Westward is tacked on at the end but, as far as I remember, not in the movie itself. Highlights include Carrey's rendition of Somebody to Love and one track of John Ottman's cartoonish score. I suppose that Ben Stiller had many of these tracks on a mixtape during production of the movie to help get him in the mood but the selection on offer here feels cheap and lazy. As with ], the grungy nature of this soundtrack now feels quaint and inoffensive. Perhaps that is why any of us who were teenagers at the time of the movie's release feel MUCH older than we should be now in 2017. Suburbia was still comfortable, the dollar was still worth something, and the darkness that came with the new millennium was inconceivable. Half of these tracks are completely indistinguishable from each other.Īs if we had anything to complain about the mid-90s. Perhaps from a longer cut? Or maybe it was contractual.Ī victim of uninspiring times rather than an uninspiring movie.

As with Brainscan, the grungy nature of this soundtrack now feels quaint and inoffensive.

I liked it at the time but I've not seen it for ages, and, honestly, since writer Judd Apatow has gone full SJW recently (and Jim Carrey too for that matter) I don't think I could view it the same way unless a darker extended version came out.Īs if we had anything to complain about the mid-90s. The movie performed "okay" but well below expectations. In 1996 Jim Carrey was still the biggest star in the world and audiences simply were not ready for his dark side during that summer. Cable guy was even further back, longer than I want to believe. I still think of anything with a Y2K aesthetic to be recent history but that was over 17 years ago already. It's interesting looking back at these soundtracks from two generations past.
