Product Review

Original 13 track soundtrack includes Brooks' TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE. Also Whiskeytown, Gillian Welch etc. This is not the Grusin score.

Amazon.com

Though it follows a standard movie formula and predictable plot twists, the film Hope Floats is saved in part by the above-average performance of Sandra Bullock, portraying a separated woman who finds her way back to her hometown in Texas, daughter in tow. The soundtrack seems to follow in due course, a collection of country and rock (thanks to the Rolling Stones) acts adding shades of twang to songs that, for the most part, all sound fairly familiar. The duds of the bunch, Bryan Adams's "When You Love Someone" and Sheryl Crow's "In Need," are saved in large part by some surprise keepers, courtesy of Garth Brooks, the Mavericks, and Gillian Welch. The covers are interesting enough. Brooks's take on Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" is modest and pithy and a far cry from the overblown Trisha Yearwood performance of the same tune that codas the collection. --Jason Verlinde

This review refers to the CD edition of "Hope Floats: Music From The Motion Picure" (Various Artists - Soundtrack)....

"When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love...." (Garth Brooks)

Those words are just a taste of the beautiful lyrics to be found on this album. The CD is filled with poignant moments, you'll want to listen to again and again.

"Hope Floats" directed by Forest Whitaker, is a beautiful film. The story revolves around Birdie, a woman who has been terribly hurt by her husband and best friend. She loses all self-esteem, and builds a wall around herself that is so strong, it seems like nobody will ever break through again. Whitaker has added the perfect soundtrack to this story. The music and words are beautiful and meaningful. They are a strong statement, speaking of all the emotions Birdie is going...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album., April 5, 2005

This review is from: Hope Floats: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
Just wanted to let anyone reading these reviews that the review by MusicFan posted September 2, 2003 about how misleading these reviews are, is completely wrong!! Musicfan is talking about a totally different CD. He/She wanted the album with "various artists" but bought the wrong one containing the "original movie soundtrack". This is a great album and worth every cent. Any of the reviews that refer to this album with 11 tracks is in the wrong place. The "various artists" album has 13 tracks. Just trying to clear up some confusion!
