"These reviews for Hope Floats are misleading. The reviews at the bottom of the page refer to the Soundtrack album with songs by Garth, Trisha, Dylan, etc., but in fact the CD in question at the top of page only contains the ORIGINAL SCORE from the movie and NONE of the songs by various artists. This is outrageous and should be fixed immediately. I waited for a week to get this CD, and then find it is something else entirely. Somebody do something to avoid misleading more buyers!"
Grusin's score does more than "Float"....it soars....

"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.

"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!!"

"The movie Hopefloats was my favorite in 1999. The song,"To Make You Feel My Love", by Garth Brooks is now my favorite song"
