Customer Reviews:

A very good soundtrack, but a little misleading..........2007-01-04

This is a very good soundtrack from a really great film...however, if you are expecting to hear ALL the songs as they were performed in the film, you may find yourself a little dissapointed. For example, the John Lennon song "Beautiful Boy" is the original version by Lennon himself, not the version that was performed by Richard Dreyfuss in the film. Don't get me wrong, I love John Lennon's version and I consider it one of his best...but this is not the version from the film, and it would have been nice to have the Dreyfuss rendition here because it was so delightful! The same can be said for the song "Someone To Watch Over Me". The CD does not include the beautiful movie performance by Jean-Louisa Kelley. Also dissapointing is the complete absense of the song "Stranger On The Shore", the tune that Mr.Holland is teaching to his student, Gertrude Lang near the beginning of the film. There was not a complete enough, or good enough version of this song in the film to include here, but in this case, the original hit version by Acker Bilk would have fit in very nicely. However, I give this CD 4 stars because it is still very enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end!

An excellent soundtrack.......2004-04-05

this soundtrack is great, the songs are very nice

A great selection of Oldies!.......2003-07-22

I loved the movie, and I love the CD! This selection carries you through history with some all-time classics performed by the original artists. It's a great gift for anyone who enjoys good old fashioned rock 'n' roll.

Someone to Watch Over Me.......2003-01-02

No, the same rendition of "Someone to Watch Over Me" as in the movie is not on the CD but if you're looking for that version check out the actress, Jean Louisa Kelly, who played "Rowena" in the movie. You can download the song at her official website: [local website] and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
