Editorial Review:
Kingpin may have given Jonathan Richman a brief cameo, but the singer-songwriter remained curiously absent from that film's alterna-rock soundtrack. Luckily, the Farrelly brothers' There's Something About Mary has Richman everywhere--he's graduated into actually becoming a plot device with his simple ditties and ubiquitous appearances. The soundtrack is no different. Tracks by the Dandy Warhols, the Push Stars, and the Lemonheads set the pop tone for this compilation, with highlights coming from Ivy, Ben Lee, and the Propellerheads. The best cuts come from Richman himself, though, with three outstanding originals: "True Love Is Not Nice," "Let Her Go into the Darkness," and the title track. Unlike the movie, there's a subtle touch to this album, and it translates to a better-than-average summer soundtrack. --Jason Verlinde
There's Something About Mary (Soundtrack) Reviews:
Cool CD, very surprised 
2007-07-16 -
I bought this for "Mary's Prayer," a lost '80s pop gem. Impossible to find. The rest of the CD, however, is really nice.
A Fun Soundtrack to Listen To... 
2006-03-21 - I bought this soundtrack to obtain a copy of the "hard-to-find" one-hit wonder by Danny Wilson, "Mary's Prayer". But I found the rest of the CD is great. A good CD to listen to when your bopping down the highway.
Great -- but missing one great song
2005-02-10 - Mary had great songs alright, and this CD is a delightful collection. However, it is missing one of the best songs from the movie -- the song that plays over the end credits. It is a really wonderful song called (I think): The Way. It is by Billy Goodrum and is on a CD of his music that is available from the Love Street Bookstore (http://www.lovestreetbookstore.com/contact.htm). Everything on Billy's CD is absolutely great. I highly recommend it.
This soundtrack rocks
2004-04-25 - This soundrack is excellent. Its hotter than Mary. Actually I take that back Mary is hotter. If you saw this movie and you liked it then you would love this CD. Its definately something to buy.
Looking for "The Way"
2001-11-15 - Awesome soundtrack. Looking for the song at the end as the credits roll. It's called "The Way", but not sure who performs it. Gotta get this song!
