Mr. Holland's Opus is a stirring, emotional film about Glenn Holland, played by Richard Dreyfuss, a teacher that abandons his life-long dream of composing in order to raise a family and educate young students. The film spans three decades, as it takes in all the ups and downs of Mr. Holland, his students, and the times. Appropriately, the soundtrack includes many splendid songs from the era, including selections from John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, and Jackson Browne, as well as the newly recorded "Visions of A Sunset," the first solo single Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men. It's a nice collection, designed to appeal to baby boomers like Holland, and will please fans of the film. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
