The film's soundtrack features original music by Munchausen by Proxy, a fictional band named after [[Münchausen syndrome by proxy]] (a psychological disorder). In the film, the band consists of actress Deschanel on lead vocals and the San Francisco-based [[all-female band]] [[Von Iva]], a trio of vocals, keyboards and drums.
