The only thought that came to my mind when I watched this movie was "I *have* to get this soundtrack!" I recommend this soundtrack to those who don't even like Jazz... it is the must have for dates, parties, or driving in the car. The movie was fantastic and I truly believe it was because of this soundtrack! It's a great touch of spontaneity for the guys and a great touch of soft and soothing music for the women. It's a great combination of music and a great collection at that! Buy it, listen to it and enjoy it! You won't be disappointed!

OK, I don't exactly own the CD yet, but I saw the movie last night. Throughout the movie I thought "I gotta get the soundtrack." Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson - how could you go wrong. A classy, jazzy, romantic soundtrack. I'd give it six stars if I could.

I saw the movie today (which I loved), but was "blown away" by the music. I knew that I just had to have the soundtrack. I sat through the credits just to see if it was available. It was so good to hear music from the "great ones" in this movie. Whoever is responsible for putting this wonderful music in this movie should be given an award.

Sammy Davis, Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson, the incomparable Lou Rawls, and of course, the man himself, Frank...how could you go wrong with such an all-star line-up? Well, for the most part the compilers of this soundtrack hit the nail right on the head. But I'm with those who feel that the newer songs (Christina Aguilera and Meredith Brooks) fell short of the sheer musical firepower laid down by the others. On the whole, though, an excellent CD well worth the buy.

Other than some hysterical scenes and plenty of close-ups of Mel Gibson, the most remarkable feature of the film was the sound track. The songs were carefully woven together to support the story and build a feeling of timelessness. The cosmopolitan, erudite character played by Mel Gibson is hopelessly out of touch with what women want, as were the fellas of the "Rat Pack" era. The vintage songs place us right back in that era when "men were men" and women were ornamental. I haven't taken the CD out my player since I got in December, playing over and over Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, The Temptations, Lou Rawls, and Peggy Lee. I can't wait for the movie to be released in video; I'll be one of the first buyers.

What a great soundtrack - not a thing on it is out of place - and it does cover a spectrum of music. A fabulous blend of music to have playing when I'm at home alone and wanting to sing at the top of my lungs and to dance around to liven up the drudgery of vacuuming!!

A great album of romantic classics -- and some newer songs too -- that perfectly match the mood and tone of the film. The Temptations' arrangement of Cole Porter's "Night and Day" is especially good: that tune alone is worth the price of the album.

If you are a fan of both classic and newer music, this soundtrack is for you! It has great standards such as "I Won't Dance" by Frank Sinatra as well as newer releases such as "What a Girl Wants" by Christina Aguilera. If you're looking for a great compilation album, I highly recommend this soundtrack.

As soon as I rented this movie, I ran out and bought the CD. This is the ultimate feel good mix! The different types of music complement each other. This is the best CD to blast while you're dancing around your living room!An instant pick-me- up.

As the credits rolled at the end of this movie I told my wife that I had to have the soundtrack - it was just a perfect compliment to a wonderful movie.........she didn't say much as she was still on cloud nine after Mel's performance, ( by the way, that guy can dance!) I just wish I had been smart enough to figure out "what women want" a long time ago Guys - buy it - it's the best money you will ever spend: the music is just stunning
