"Ok, so I haven't seen the movie yet, but I love the soundtrack! I'll give you a review of each song so you can be sure whether or not you want to buy it: 1.) MARCUS MILLER - All this time (intro): This is basically just a short instrumental song from the movie. It's ok, but nothing to shout about.2.) MARCUS MILLER WITH TIM MEADOWS - "It's a lady!": Although this is probably the shortest "song" on the soundtrack, it's one of the funniest. All it is is Tim Meadows saying, "It's a lady!" while being backed up by some instrumental music.3.) RUFUS FEATURING CHAKA KHAN - Sweet thing: This is one of my favorites. It's slightly up-beat, but slow enough to be a really pretty song.4.) JOHNNY GILL - Close the door: It starts out sort of slow, but all in all a pretty good song. I think its a remake, but I at least know for sure that there is another version of it, so if you recognize the title, its probably the song you're thinking of.5.) ISLEY BROTHERS - Don't let me be lonely tonight: This song is ok, but I usually skip it because I think its too slow.6.) MARCUS MILLER - Have you ever had sex?: This is another instrumental song from the movie. It's pretty good, but the title is the best part.7.) ROBERTA FLACK AND DONNY HATHAWAY - The closer I get to you: I like this song a lot. It's a pretty song, plus the two singers' voices go well together.8.) ISLEY BROTHERS - That lady: I like this song, too. It's a nice, upbeat song that has good lyrics (even though their repetitive) and a nice melody.9.) GROVER WASHINGTON, JR. - Mister magic: It's an instrumental. I like this song. The only thing I don't like about it is that its a bit long.10.) TEDDY PENDERGRASS - Turn off the lights: An ok song, but a bit slow for my taste.11.) MARCUS MILLER - Houseboat bonin': A 15 second "song". Its ok, but not much of a song if you ask me.12.) AL GREEN - Let's stay together: I like this song. Kind of upbeat, and really pretty.13.) MARCUS MILLER WITH TIM MEADOWS - Leon's poem: This song is the number one reason to buy the cd! It is extremely funny! Not to give away anything, but my favorite line is: "Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unliken to?" 14.) BOBBY WOMACK - Lookin' for a love: A really nice upbeat song that I like a lot.15.) MARCUS MILLER - Radio waves: This is just another waste of space with some instrumental music.16.) WILLIE HUTCH - I choose you: Another good song on the cd. Just one of those songs that are fun to listen to.17.) MARCUS MILLER - An old school love: A really good song by Marcus Miller that actually has some lyrics.18.) PARLIAMENT - Up for the down stroke: I like this song a lot. It's a catchy song with a good beat.19.) LALAH HATHAWAY WITH MARCUS MILLER - All this time (vocal version): A bit slow, but good enough to listen to.All in all this is a good cd. So go out and buy it!"
