August Rush...And the Beat Goes On **1/2

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2010)

Somewhat interesting film featuring a child prodigy and a supporting performance by Robin Williams that is a cross between The Hustler and Midnight Cowboy.
The theme of this film is that music transcends all and serves as a link to all of us. This is done when our prodigy seeks out his parents.
Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Williams are appealing as the parents who produced this child after a one night stand. By the way, where was Russell when her father gave the boy up at birth?
What a great way for self-discovery at a concert in Central Park. This is definitely a story of hope and ultimate fulfillment.
