Taking its cue from the soundtrack's fluke Joan Osborne hit, "One of Us," this is the film that dares ask "What if one of us--or Jim Carrey--were God?" While the comedy here makes Ace Ventura sound like Noel Coward, its soundtrack is an energetic, if pedestrian, mix of modern rock (Osborne, Plumb's "God-Shaped Hole," "You're a God" by Vertical Horizon) and electronica (Snap!'s ubiquitous "The Power", the kitsch-hop of Elvis Vs. JXL's "A Little Less Conversation," Fatboy Slim) that's as fluffy as it is friendly. John Debney, a composer who's becoming to contemporary comedy what Bernard Herrmann was to murder mysteries, fills the album's second half with a sprightly collection of his trademark, breezily pastoral cues. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Wish they had Barry and The Vines.......2006-12-29

I wish they would have included the Barry White song Bruce uses to seduce Grace with. Also they left out The Vines' song "Outtathaway" which is played when Bruce is driving his sportscar and parts all of the cars in traffic. I LOVE that song! But the album is OK otherwise, nice to listen to at work or while driving.

Tony Bennett Song.......2006-01-05

Does anyone know the song Tony Bennett plays while Bruce is at the restaurante with Grace?

God Song.......2005-08-07

The song at the beginning of the credits is: Are You Ready for A Miracle sung by The World Harvest Choir from the album: The Sound Of Jubilee.

There's still one missing!!.......2005-05-25

I watch the DVD of Bruce.
There's a cute song during the DVD's "menu section".
It's not in the movie but I love it very much.
Anyone could help??

The "stolen kiss" song........2005-04-10

When he is trying to call grace and gets kissed by Susan, the song that is being played is "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne from the album Let Go.

It was not what I was hoping for, but the CD is okay. I enjoy the Skank MTV Live CD much more.

Can't stop listening!.......2006-08-02

I have this CD since it came out and I never get tired of it. I just love it!

Kickin'.......2005-09-10

I love this CD! You can really tell the audience is having such a great time -- I wish I was there myself everytime I listen. The band is great, full of energy, the singing is top notch and genuine. Every song hooks you, most are very very joyous. Buy it, buy it, buy it... :)

Fun.......2005-03-15

Just a fun CD. Great music, all the best from Skank, and it is better live. Partida de futebol is especially good live. If you like Brazilian rock and especially if you like Skank, this is a good one for your collection.

Very Very Good.......2004-07-20

Skank is one of the most popular pop bands of Brazil mixing together reggae and latin ska, and this CD of the LIVE in Ouro Preto presents 16 best big hits of the band more a previously unreleased song, "Acima do Sol". A little review of mine of the songs:
1 - Partida de Futebol (5/5): Presented in the 1998 World Soccer Cup, the song is about... soccer, indeed! Far better than its old version.
2 - Esmola (3/5): Cute and good to dance, that's all!
3 - Pacato Cidadao (5/5): One of my favourites, very good, but the older version is better.
4 - Jackie Tequila (5/5): Pure Reggae and Latin Ska, quiet and sweet, very good song.
5 - Acima do Sol(3/5): The only new song, it's good but not as than the others among the CD.
6 - Balada do Amor Inabalavel (4/5): Sweet and calming
7 - Tres Lados (5/5): Fascinating, far better than the very good old version, the best pop/rock of the band in the LIVE's presentation.
8 - Tao Seu (5/5): Very good, but ofuscated by the presence of "Tres Lados".
9 - Saidera (4/5): Very good, nice words (about the costume of people drinking -socially-)
10 - Resposta (5/5): Romantic song, calm and very very sweet. Very good, (although many didn't liked the changes in the band style in the CD that this music was presented, that was used to be more 'dancing'.)
11 - Te Ver (2/5): Good and sweet, not more.
12 - Estare Prendido en Tus Dedos (2/5)- More or less good, the old version was better.
13 - Tanto (5/5): Translation of "I Want You" of Bob Dylan, the first big hit of the band.
14 - Cancao Noturna (4/5): Good, nice, calm and in the same time, dancing. Far better than the old version.
15 - Ali (4/5): The same of above, love words again
16 - Garota Nacional (5/5): The biggest hit of the group was presented better than it was! Very dancing song.
17 - E Proibido Fumar (4/5)- Good and very dancing

Customer Reviews:

American/British influences yes, but no magical mystery tour.......2007-07-11

Cosmotron borrows from classic and alternative rock, but in its vocals and lyrics maintains the imagination and infectious quality of earlier efforts. The use of mellotrons and way too familiar rock riffs and hooks, at times ignores their own rich and diverse Brazilian music tradition. However, there is a depth and texture to the music which relates well after repeated listens. Best songs are Resta Um Pouco Mais, Pegadas Na Lua, Dois Rios, and Sambatron. Both this and 'Maquinarama' are well-balanced.

Changes to the Best.......2004-07-21

In "Cosmotron", Skank shows the maturation that the band had during these 10+ years of career. They are not more anymore guys that made only reggae-dancing songs and perfomed in shows wearing soccer's uniforms. Since "Siderado" they were changing, and most or that changes was for the best. This applies to "Cosmotron", an album with influences of the English rock, especially Beatles.
"Dois Rios", their first and biggest hit, received 4 MTV awards for its clip, including "Best Clip of the Year" and "Pop Music Choice of the Audiance", beating even the all-grand-trio Tribalistas. No doubts that that song is the biggest hit of the year in Brazil.
"Vou Deixar", "Formato Minimo", "Sambatron" and "Cosmotron" are also very good, excellent songs to hear, apart that all the CD is well-made, with songs that have both good lyrics and words. Do not miss the CD if you are a phan of the band or are looking for an excellent CD of brazilian pop/rock. You won't regret that.

Not just a surprise.......2004-05-27

I just bought this CD, looking for some contemporary Brazilian rock music. For those like me who have had the opportunity to listen in their teens to Kid Abelha, Paralamas, and some other great Brazilian bands, it was really not a surprise to find really good music.
This CD has some elements that remind me of Beatles sound in some songs, but also there is some contemporary sounds as well, that makes them have a personality of their own. And when I say Beatles, do not think of "old", think of "classic". I recommend it.

Cosmotron - filled with Beatles and 60's sounds.......2003-12-15

I'm not used to rave Brazilian rock CDs. Especially nowadays. But, wait, I've just heard Cosmotron, by Skank. I'll tell you what: it's a great contemporary piece of music filled with Beatles sounds, some musical references with touches of eastern music and Sixties sounds.
I know it's in Portuguese, but you won't regret listening to the music. Better; you'll regret if you don't listen to it.
We have bits of Tomorrow Never Knows, Fool On The Hill, Dear Prudence (of course, it's not that kind of Oasis thing which copies note by note - although I like Oasis too, I must admit).
There's a track called Nomade (Nomadis) that's simply amazing, with Indian instruments and stuff. On Dois Rios (Two Rivers)we listen to a very proeminent mellotron
throughout.
Plus: on intrumental and effects bits you'll hear Fender Rhodes, psychedelic drums effects, hammond organ, ADT and many other items.

This is really like on of my favorite songs that fat boy slim has. It makes me want to dance. I think that it will remain in history as one of the greatest songs in history. It will be like the Village People "YMCA" song. I think that everyone should listen to it and make their own opinion about this song. It's the best!

THIS SONG KICKS MAJOR A**!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......1999-10-04

THIS IS DEFINATELY ONE OF FATBOY SLIM'S BETTER SONGS (NOT THAT ANY OF THEM ARE BAD!). I WISH THAT PEOPLE WOULD STOP SAYING THAT IT CAME FROM "SHE'S ALL THAT" 'CAUSE IT WAS OUT WAY BEFORE THAT MOVIE. I GIVE THIS SONG 10 STARS!

Love it!!!.......2006-12-29

This album marked my teen years. Every where I went they would play Garota Nacional and you couldn't get tired of it. It such a cool song...the video kinda sucks, but the song is just great.

Great Party CD.......2000-11-03

This cd is totally fun to listen to. My favorite song is "Garota Nacional." Skank is one of the coolest bands.

Beleza!.......2000-03-28

A must album for anybody who likes to dance. The whole CD is just full of great songs like "É Uma Partida de Futebol," "Garota Nacional," "Tão Seu," and "Samba Paconé." They just keep outdoing themselves with every album.

Awesome CD!.......1999-12-16

I was amazed to see this CD at such a low price. Itis WELL worth it! The CD cover might look a little risque but it has nothing to do with the content........love these guys!

The greastest album of all time!.......1999-04-03

This album rocks. I didn't think that they could outdo themselves from Calango but they did. This is the perfect mix of reggae, ska and the Brasilian mix.

One of the best albums I own!!!.......2002-12-11

I bought this album from one of the girls working at the airport mall in Recife in Brazil.. I could barely hear it on the overhead, and asked (as well as I could) who the artist was. She told me, but there was no music stores in the small mall. Five minutes later she came running out of the store and asked me if I wanted to buy the one she had, I said, "sim!" It was all scratched up and skipped on two of the songs, and here I am on amazon buying the album again, this time with the jewel case and cover!!!! Great upbeat without getting too cheesy. Great mix of guitars acoustic and electric and almost hip-hop beats.

better than O Samba Pocone.......2000-11-21

When I bought a previous album by Skank, I was a bit disappointed (although I appreciate it more now). Therefore, I was a bit hesitant to buy this album. Via Napster I listened to the hits Tres Lados and Balada Do Amor Inabalavel (ex-no.1 in Brazil), which I both liked, so I bought it. And I must say that I'm very happy with this one. Maybe not the traditional sound of Brazil, but more indie, but I think some tracks would be really great in a club. Especially the title track bursts with energy (it gives me the same feeling as Prodigy-tracks, although their music is nothing like the Prodigy), and the whole album is certainly worth a try.

A good CD.......2000-10-14

I got the chance to visit Brazil this summer, and while I was driving around, a song popped out from the rest. It was Skank's "Tres Lados" off Maquinarama. I do not know Portuguese, so I did not know what the words mean, but I decided to get the CD anyway, because I liked the beat and the music reminded me of the alternative rock I listen to at home. Upon buying the CD, I found that most of the tracks are good (some are great for driving to; they give a good adrenaline rush) and even though some are not, the CD was still a good buy.

Skank- the new direction.......2000-07-07

If you're looking for more of the same great happy pop from Skank, turn away now. This new sound is more acoustic, more grunge, more folk-rock than the previous danceable reggae-tinged pop that caught my attention. While the sound is a departure from the other albums, it is still a likeable sound. It doesn't excite or motivate unexpected dancing fits like the older stuff, but it makes good background music.

Great CD! Excelent!.......2000-07-02

If you expect this is a latin music, like samba, salsa, forget about it. Its a pop/rock brazilian group, with some reggae. This group is very popular in Brazil and America Latina, and if you buy, you'll like it.

By far their best.......2006-06-19

I was living in brasil when this album came out. As another reivewer said, there are a lot of these songs that were on the radio. They were infectious. I just loved it everytime I was on the bus and they started playing. I purchased this album and it has by far become my favorite album. If you are going to buy one album, this is the one to get.

I'm not sure which genre this music is in. It's got a bit of everything. When I lived in Brasil, Pagode, Samba and Reggae were all huge. I think that it has a bit of each in Skank.

Que Otimo! Este CD e bom demais!.......2000-08-25

Living in Brazil, there was a song I kept hearing on the radio, and just HAD to have it . . . I hunted it down and sure enough it was "Pacato Cidadao," the last song on this CD. This album is fantastic--witty, both lyrically and musically. Both "E Proibido Fumar," where he sings about how he has trouble kissing girlfriends in no smoking areas, because of how hot it gets, and "A Cerca," an argument two neighbors have over a fence that gets REALLY personal, are hilarious. And the music is infectious, with definite ska, reggae, and alternative influence. Great stuff!

amazing!.......2000-08-06

this cd was i believe my first cd, i remeber 5 years ago, siting on the couch and just relaxing, listening to this cd. It was such a great thing for the brasilian music! i will never forget this cd. i memorized many songs, and you dont have to understand portuguese to enjoy this cd, i have many american friends who enjoy skank, just because of their beat, it is shoking! i recomend this cd to everyone. bye, bruno

I love Skank.......2000-06-07

This is a great album - I've had it for five years and I still listen to it regularly.

I lived in Brazil for 3 years and Skank is one of my favorite Brazilian bands - I recommend all their albums, even the hard-to-get first one.

Buy this cd, if you didn't know, it is out of print.It's hard to find this cd anymore.So if you see it here, buy it before it's gone.I tried to bid for it on ebay but, like 7 people were bidding for it and of course I lost.If you love the suicide machines (like I do) then you should buy it.It's a wonderful cd.I'm glad I found it here.

to the guy that wrote that review in august 98 that said the band doesnt want people to buy it, the suicide machines, its management or any others related to TSM, never said not to buy this CD, they even sell it themselves through there merchandising catalog and at their site, thesuicidemachines.com. Can't wait for there new CD, due out Jan/Feb '00

kevin.......1999-06-22

if a band is true then they shouldnt care how their music gets out just as long as their music does get out. id hope they =weren't doing their music just for the money. i dont think they said that.. it is such a great cd .great bands.always will be.
