4.0 out of 5 stars better than the average soundtrack, April 26, 2000

This review is from: Hope Floats: Original Score Soundtrack (Audio CD)

If you enjoyed the movie, you'll like the soundtrack. I agree with the reviewer who liked Sheryl Crow's song "In Need" the best. It rocks a little, the lyrics and her performance of them are GREAT. Maybe her best song (tough to choose between it and "my favorite mistake" from the globe sessions). "To make you feel my love" is a really nice ballad by Garth Brooks (written originally by Bob Dylan). It might even make you think country music might be OK (I do). I had a tough time listening to the stones song, but it grew on me after a while. Bob Seger and Martina Mcbride sing a nice duet that you'll like if you like Seger's ballads. Trisha Yearwoods version of "to make you feel my love" should have been left off the soundtrack. I love Trisha, and the minimalist treatment of the song may have been needed for the movie, but it pales SO badly to Garth's version. If you are into "today's country", this is a must have. If you are a Sheryl Crow fan, you need it for her song alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grusin's score does more than "Float"....it soars...., November 10, 2003

This review is from: Hope Floats: Original Score Soundtrack (Audio CD)

RCA's Hope Floats soundtrack album, featuring Dave Grusin's original score for the 1998 feature film starring Sandra Bullock, Harry Connick, Jr. and Gena Rowlands, not only brings scenes from the movie to my mind, but also works well as a purely musical creation. Heartwarming, romantic and even jaunty, Grusin's cues are reason enough to add this album to any music lover's CD library.

Although all 11 tracks on this album are superlative, the ones I like best are Grusin's instrumental cues "Going Home," "Justin and Birdie," "Time to Get Up," and "Ramona's Last Story."

There are also unlisted tracks of songs covered by Garth Brooks ("To Make You Feel My Love"), Byan Adams ("When You Love Someone") and Deana Carter ("What Makes You Stay").

All in all, this a great album to just listen to, even if you did not see the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD and movie, March 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Hope Floats: Original Score Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The CD and movie came out at a very good time for me. I was at a crossroad in my life and this movie (and the music) helped me through an extremely difficult time. The music is great. I love all the songs, especially Chances Are by Bob Seger and Martina McBride (my husband and I danced to it at our wedding). I agree with the one review that Klennex are a must and this CD and movie are perfect for anyone who has fallen out of love and has found a greater love waiting for them!!
