I thought that the movie was pretty good. The music is what made the movie. However, as a Dave Matthews Fan, I hoped to see at least one of his melodic jams on the soundtrack. I could replay that scene in the pet store for hours just to listen to that little jam of Dave and his guitar.

Honestly... awesome music in this movie! Where is it all - why isn't it on the soundtrack? Isn't the point of a soundtrack to put the music from the movie on it? Dave Matthews even said himself in an interview, he wishes at least one of his songs would have made it. He specifically mentioned "Butterfly." Dave Matthews was the musical influence for this movie. There's no reason he shouldn't have been on this disc. Also, one of the most popular songs from the movie, "Sunrise" by Nora Jones should also have been included. I like the music they picked, but it by no means is a complete soundtrack of the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, a few shortcomings, October 11, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Because of Winn-Dixie (Audio CD)

This is a beautiful soundtrack, with the slow, sweet southern/country/pop music from the movie. It's perfect for a rainy day, or any time you want to escape the pressures of everyday life and just relax for a while. The instrumental pieces were especially moving. That said, I should point out that there were a few shortcomings. The Finn Brothers' song was weak and rather dull. One of the songs from the movie (Sunshine, sung by Norah Jones) was missing from the soundtrack, which is a shame because it was one of my favorites. And there are no pieces by Dave Matthews. But this is still a cd worthy of recognition. Nice effort, and one of the prettiest soundtracks out there.
