5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie even greater hits!, February 24, 2004

A Kid's Review

What can I say about the mask, hmm..... Well, for one thing, it is my absolute favorite movie of all time! After seeing it 138 times,(no lie!) I have practically memorized all the songs. And, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of waiting for that one part in the movie to listen to a particular song! I am however a huge fan of the soundtrack! Because, I can listen to each of these great hits without watching the movie! I rate this CD 5 out of 5 stars! Jim Carrey was a fantastic actor in the movie and, he had a pretty good voice on the soundtrack! Who knew? BUY THIS CD!!! JIM CARREY ROXZ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately catchy, June 6, 2001

By	"maeve_kelsey" (California) - See all my reviews

I bought this when the movie came out, and I am totally satisfied. There are some really good songs, most of which have a swing flair to them, by a wide variety of artists. Some of my favorites are:

HI DE HO by K7 - K7 is normally a freestyle artist, and I guess this song is still freestyle, but there is a definate swing/big band flavor in this song. I really like it, and I think it's really catchy. HEY PACHUCO by ROYAL CROWN REVIEW - This is an awesome upbeat song with some great instrumentals. The intro is upbeat and adrenalizing, and this whole song gets you pumped up. The only confusing part is the whole tempo change in the song, but other than that it's perfect. THE BUSINESS OF LOVE by DOMINO - This is a very sexy jazz/blues song that I personally think is the best on here. The vocal style in which it is sung makes it sound even better.

So, overall, this is a great soundtrack with some pretty interesting material. I'd definately buy it. If you are hesitant (Because some of the songs are a bit different), then just buy it used.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Soundtrack, November 13, 2003

By	Matthew Edmundson (Winter Haven, Florida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved The Mask. Jim Carrey was fantastic in it. I loved the music in the movie. All the songs from the movie and more are on this hit soundtrack.

I like hearing Jim Carrey sing. He does Cuban Pete in it. He did Cuban Pete in the movie with that funny dance scene. Carrey actually has a decent voice and as one of his fans I enjoyed hearing him sing.

This soundtrack has a mix of famous groups and people. Vannesa Williams, Harry Connick Jr., Brian Setzer Orchestra to name just a few.

Fans of swing will really get a kick out of this. You'll like Hey Pacuco and Cuban Pete. It's got some great horn work on the soundtrack.

I love this cd. If you liked The Mask, you'll like this soundtrack. It's a fun mix of music that makes me want to watch the movie every time I hear it.
