Wow, I can not believe that two of the best songs of the film were cut off. 1.- Rock and roll part II ( Gary Glitter) and 2.-Get it on (T. Rex).
The rest has been said in the other costumers reviews.

The movie is not much to my taste but I love the acting by those legendary actors/actresses.

I must have checked 10 stores for this soundtrack when the film made its debut 12/22 and it took too long to release! The soundtrack is an eclectic mix of vocals and instrumentals that conjure up Greg's paranoia, Jack's stern and conservative attitude, and the Fockers' overly-relaxed welcome - even some tunes to remind us of the adorable Little Jack! "We're Gonna Get Married" plays over the opening credits and "Crazy 'Bout My Baby" plays over the end titles. Like the reviewer above, "If I were a Carpenter" is the most beautiful song ever written! Bravo to true lyrics and the original version! The Florida salsa mixes were a blast too - so why only four stars?? Where was Rock and Roll (Part 2) by Gary Glitter, played when the Flower man takes down Mr. Mom on the footy-ball field! AHHH! I hate when key songs are omitted - I know it's been overdone, but at least I have "Moonlight Mile" to compensate. Buy with "Meet the Parents" - a great set. You'll never forget the voilin string as Mr. Jinx flushes pitiful Moses down the portable RV toilet!

Tim Hardin's version finally breaks through into mainstream use! Bravo to Universal. Tim's original cuts of "Reason to believe",and "If i were a carpenter" are so good, it is a shame that only a relativly small audience has been treated to his voice and phrasing. The rest of his works are poised to be discovered, recently "dont make promises" and "hang on to a dream" have been covered wonderfully by Paul Weller, and Kathryn Williams respectivly. look into his albums, you'll be glad you did.

This CD is just so so. Not a very good one, but not terrible. It is because some tracks are good, and some aren't. Although the movie itself is great, not the music like Ocean's Twelve.

Recommended tracks: 1, 2, 6, 10, 11, 12.
