Entranced by the movie, I just knew I had to get the soundtrack. Since the town in which my high school was in did not have this stocked, I had to go into the neighboing major city. Believe me when I tell you that the trip was really worth it. I still adore listening to the CD to this day.

Although Jewel is the only anoying track (what is her problem anyways!)it's inclusion should not stop you from buying this CD. From Letters to Cleo, to Love Spit Love (who's cover of the Smith's is ironically used in Charmed!)there are plenty of awesome tracks to override anything too cliched and poppy.This is one of the best CD's for spoky etherial music.

Since the movie is supposed to be dark humor, it is only fitting that the tracks are majority the same. Even if they share one song, newcomers should not get this CD expecting to hear something that reminds them of the Charmed TV series; the girls in this film are outcasts, and three of them abuse their powers by letting their over inflated egos do harm to others.In otherwords, the CD's supposed to be dark, cynical and gloomy

A mostly dull collection of unnecessary remakes (Juliana Hatfield does Marianne Faithful? Really?), but it has three songs that hint at a spunkier, fun collection. Letters to Cleo's "Dangerous Type" takes The Cars original and makes it playful, Spacehog's "The Horror" is far from a great song but it's absolutely an atmospheric original. And Elastica, go-to band for fun soundtrack songs, outdo themselves with "Spastica," a catchy, clever two-and-a-half minutes of twitchy fun. If only the rest of the album could have the same attitude (and I'll give credit to Tripping Daisy and All Too Much do worhty filler).
