This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
The soundtrack for this comedy flick set on New Year’s Eve 1981 would make a fine soundtrack to your next retro party.
What’s not to like about new wave and pop classics like Nick Lowe’s Cruel To Be Kind, The Cars’ Just What I Needed, The Go-Go’s’ Our Lips Are Sealed, Joe Jackson’s Different For Girls and Bow Wow Wow’s I Want Candy? Bringing things up to date are Harvey Danger covering The English Beat’s Save It For Later, Girls Against Boys getting down with Boogie Wonderland, and a medley of Blondie tunes from Rapture to this year’s No Exit. In with the new — and the old too.
