Just as two super-sexy, professional killers are inexorably drawn to each other, so is the Mr. and Mrs. Smith soundtrack inexorably drawn to the obvious. Husband and wife shootouts? This compilation gets into the spirit of things right away with "Love Stinks" (J. Geils Band) and "Tainted Love" (Soft Cell). It follows up with more of the same: "You Give Love a Bad Name" (performed by metal band Atreyu, and "Used to Love Her (But I Had to Kill Her)" from the ska-punk group the Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Fortunately, this disc grows more interesting toward the midway point with Nouvelle Vague's Brazilian-style cover of "I'll Melt with You" and alterna-lounge act Pink Martini's "Let's Never Stop Falling in Love. The latter melts seamlessly into the lovely instrumental, "Assassination Tango." It's on these more exotic tracks that this compilation shines--if only there were a few more. The middle of the disc is romantic--the rest feels like action movie cliché. --Leah Weathersby

Best compilation/soundtrack I've heard in years!.......2007-01-10

OK, where are you going to get Poison & Air Supply in one CD? I really enjoyed this one, as it had all the really fun music from the movie, including the tango score the couple danced to and the "express yourself" music from their fight scene at home. There's a few odd remake/covers from artists I'd rather hear only from the originals, but otherwise I highly recommend this one.

WORTH IT!.......2006-05-18

This CD is worth the money for track 6 alone, Mondo Bongo's Alone. Everytime I hear it, I see Brad and Angelina fighting and then making up. It is the song for lovers who have lost their way.

build your own Smith soundtrack.......2006-04-29

If you liked the movie, you will like at least half of this CD. If you only like half, it will either be the collection of love-stinks songs (Love Stinks, I Used to Love Her [But then I had to kill her], Tainted Love, etc.) or it will be the collection of South-American-flavored tracks, like Mondo Bongo, Lay Lady Lay, and Let's Never Stop Falling in Love.

As for me, I love the second collection within this CD, so I used those tracks to make my own "soundtrack" (read: iPod playlist), fleshing it out with Putumayo's "Nuevo Latino" and "Music From the Coffee Lands." If you are in this camp, I highly recommend buying at least one of those CDs (Amazon sells them along with other South American Putumayo CDs) as the tracks on the official Mr. and Mrs. Smith soundtrack will not be enough.

Postscript: whichever way you go, you will likely scratch your head at the inclusion of Baby, Baby on the soundtrack. Geez, why not include Girl From Ipanema then (the song playing in the elevator of the home improvement store). The song was picked to represent the anti-John-and-Jane-moment, the vapid dull suburban cocktail party so why?? I would have preferred "(Who Discovered) America" by Ozomatli (you can find this track on their Street Signs album, also available on Amazon) or "Oxidados" by Plastilina Mosh (album: Hola Chicuelos), to name just two songs that were in the movie and did not make the soundtrack.

Too bad there aren't more soundtracks like this one.......2006-03-28

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!

Romantic and fun..........2006-03-13

This made a wonderfull valentines gift for my Girlfriend and also nice romantic and fun background music. She has since put it on her mp3 player (of course) and she ejoys all the songs. Mr. and Mrs. Smith was enjoyable both as a movie, (because it was a chickflick I could make it through) and as a songtrack (Because the music is wonderfull!) Good buy, oh and good music to slow dance or heck, tango to!

Customer Reviews:

The best cut is missing!!!.......2006-09-04

The best musical cut of the whole movie is when Jane and John are drunk and sensuallly dancing at the beginning of the movie. This cut is played again when Jane is trying to let go of her memories of John as she is preparing to kill him. Does anyone know the name of that cut and the artist who performed that instrumental? It keeps playing hauntingly thru my head.

Looking for Oxidados.......2006-01-07

Oxidados by Plastiling Mosh Latin EMI was lsted in the credits but I cannot find this music anywhere. Anyone have any ideas. Great cut.

Very good soundtrack.......2005-12-08

This soundtrack is very good. It has 19 tracks. It all mixed with highs and lows. For example, for track 5, it is a bomb. After the kind of "romance" start, it gets real bumpy in the second half of the music. It does happens the same when I listened tracks and tracks in it. So, it will make me soft or rock. So, quite mixed but it is a totally a bomb in this soundtrack.

Just to counter-balance the idiocy of "John Q. Public".......2005-10-15

The film was extremely fun and the music complimented it perfectly.

Question about score.......2005-09-25

Can anyone tell me the name and artist of the music that plays at the end when the main credits begin to roll? It is also the music that plays when Angelina Jolie in the dominatrix outfit jumps out the window. Very mission impossible sounding.
