Hope Floats: Music From The Motion Picture [Soundtrack]

hope floats: music from the motion picture [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
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

Entertainment Weekly
Don Was has made his name as purveyor of grown-up roots pop, a genre that runs through the album like wild horses. Sometimes it works: Witness Gillian Welch's "Paper Wings," which resurrects the dark side of Patsy Cline. Yet Was' penchant for adult-oriented tastefulness also leads to sop like Bob Seger and Martina McBride's "Chances Are"... and not one but two vanilla-wafer covers of Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" (by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood).

Customer Reviews:

Hope Floats - Original Soundtrack.......2007-03-08

This was not the soundtrack that I wanted. I wanted the soundtrack with the Garth Brooks song on it and some of the other more recognizable songs from the movie - not instrumentals. I was really disappointed and will continue to try to find the soundtrack I want.

Not what I was expecting.......2007-03-08

I thought that this was the actually songs from the movie....not the score. Nice, but not sure who wants to listen to random movie scores.

Hope Floats..............2006-12-15

was a great movie. I bought this CD as a gift for a friend, she enjoys it.

EVERYONE LISTEN!!!.......2006-05-14

For some confused reviewers out there, just to set the story straight-the song "Make You Feel My Love" was written by Bob Dylan, not Garth Brooks. I've got nothing against Garth, but give credit where credit is due!

A great album........2005-04-06

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!
