I just received my soundtrack copy of "Fun with Dick & Jane". If you were looking for the great music that was in the movie, you won't get it off of the soundtrack. I really liked the music compilation in the movie, but this CD is just what it is: a soundtrack, no singing, and more like elevator background music. So, if you are expecting the songs from the movie - don't buy this CD, and save your money.

Both the previous reviews have shown that some people simply don't pay attention when they're spending money. If the fact that the various tracks listed on the site included the name of different artists doesn't clue you in to the fact that it isn't a compilation of music by various artists, then perhaps listening to the preview clips would help. Also, perhaps researching the artist's name under the title of the album, "Theodore Shapiro," would lead one to conclude that he's not a pop artist - he's a composer. And a good one, at that.

The score for Fun With Dick & Jane is as lively as the movie itself, reflecting perfectly the light-hearted nature of the film. The main theme is fantastic and the rest of the music, while not being particularly amazing, certainly underscores every scene in the film - as it should. If you enjoyed the movie as much as the songs in it, you probably also enjoyed the score - and you'd probably enjoy the soundtrack. If you want the songs from the film, watch the end credits, write down the names of the songs in the film and buy the albums with those songs on them.

I'm not sure why this is rated so low! I'm a musician and composer myself, and I thoroughly enjoyed this soundtrack. The songs are fun and varied, and many of them are quite uplifting. The score is beautifully produced, a real treat to the ears. I'd say 4.5/5 but I'm giving it a 5 stars because this product really needs a better score!

I think that this soundtrack is quite relaxing. However, each track is too short. It only contains an average of 2 minutes for each track. After one track of little enjoyment, then it will fly to another track. I think each track should be longer than 2 minutes in order to make this work.

Dear Katie!

This cd contains the musical score of the film. Not the songs. Its pretty lame that you miss the lyrics from an orginial score :)

This soundtrack it fantastic. It fits perfectly with the fun, comedy theme. As a fan of movie soundtracks, I thought this one, although not extraordinary, was done very well, and suited the movie very well. As said below, if you want the songs from the movie, then get them from the credits.
