"Great film, I laughed sooo much. Anybody who's ever been in a relationship will relate to this film and laugh all the way through!

What a great and fun album. It's like an iPOD playlist ready to go! All *SEVENTEEN* songs tie in to the theme of the film of love, anti-love and spies! To me Album stands out and stands alone as perfect "summer love (anti-love?) party mix" in this age of Itunes and Ipods albums need to be smarter and better and this one is and does.

"Fun assortment of tunes from the movie soundtrack, thoughtfully and cleverly arranged & presented for moveigoers and musiclovers alike.

Thematically, this is a collection of Love You/Hate You songs both classic and updated. Definitely worth adding to your music library, even if you're not a "soundtrack" fan per se."

Too bad there aren't more soundtracks like this one

"Not only was this soundtrack well-constructed to fit a high-paced, action/romance-type movie, but it is also attractive to a wide variety of personal musical tastes. From more traditional sounds like the latin Mondo Bongo and Pink Martini, to more pop rock sounds like Love Stinks and Poison, this collection is upbeat and fun to listen to from beginning to end. It has also proven to be an especially great CD to have on a road trip. I highly recommend it!"

Close your eyes and say aaahhhh!

"This is one of the most sensual and soothing albums I've heard in a while!! Much like another soundtack CD I'm quite fond of, the folksy "Crossing Jordan," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" seduces your ear and your soul. I don't drink martinis, but if I did, when I came home from work this wonderful collection of songs would be on the stereo as I sipped and slipped into something more comfortable. Actually "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" IS what I've been putting on as I soon as I get home, the only difference is I drink Evian instead of martinis and put on an football jersey and baggy shorts instead of a negligee. (Okay...probably a little TMI there, I apologize!)

For me everything begins with track 6 (the lilting percussion number "Mondo Bongo.") Everything up to and including 5 is okay enough, but really...how many times can you hear "Tainted Love" and not get tired of it; it appears on so many compilations.

Just when "Mondo Bongo" promises to have you feeling the way you do after a good massage, "Lay Lady Lay" comes along and wows you with its duet featuring the gorgeously vocal Gemma Hayes and Magnet (the latter of whom I confess I've never heard of until now.) This version of "Lay Lady Lay" is officially now my favorite; it's the song version of a gentle and pleasing back scratcher.

"I'll Melt With You" and "Nobody Does It Better" continue to take you to your most zen moment, both covers (in my very humble opinion) far surpassing the originals (then again I'm not a big Carly Simon fan.) "Let's Never Stop Falling in Love" and "Assassin's Tango" are for those of you who can never quite control the urge to sashay and twirl across the living room (well, maybe you don't live alone like I do where you can break out into song and dance whenever you want.)

The rest of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is decent enough but tracks 6-11 pull your soul strings the most. It doesn't hurt that the album ends on such a fun, nostalgic note with the wacky and wonderful "Love Will Keep Us Together," a ditty that never fails to take me back to 1975 and the first grade!"
