Strange Weirdos (Music From And Inspired By The Film Knocked Up) - Loudon Wainwright III

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap. Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit. None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture. Tracks Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album Yeo - Cam'ron.

Advantages: Funny , Great Characters , Different
Disadvantages: Couldn't Watch It Again

Advantages: great typical story line!
Disadvantages: gags aren't funny and other reasons...

...of the Roller Coaster Scene - Directing the director with Judd Apatow - Laugh out loud with the gag reel! - Topless scene - a new twist on baring it all! - Loudon Wainwright III performing at McCabe's - Audio commentary wit Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader Disc 2 - Production video diaries - an exclusive behind the scenes tour - Get down and dirty with stripper confidential - Blush at first sex on camera - Plus... 28 deleted, extended and alternate scenes - And MUCH, MUCH MORE I'll admit that some of them sound good, when others sound down right horrible and especially some of them due to the fact that the film is certified as 15, but then again I am only 16 and very vulnerable, but I know there's a lot of teenagers my age who wouldn't care about some special features being horrible, they'd probably watch them without parents...
