Pretty Sloppy

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2010)

August Rush is not a horrible movie, but it is not a very good one either. The script is downright embarrassing at times and the acting leaves something to be desired.
The Good:
-Cinematography is often gorgeous.
-The Father's band sounds like a real Irish/Scottish rock group
-Pretty Good Performance by Robin Williams
The Bad:
-Acting from the three lead roles verges on cringe worthy at points.
-INCREDIBLY UNREALISTIC
-Script with awkward phrases
-Bullying scene at the orphanage is horribly acted and very cliché
-Emotional intensity is drawn away completely by bad acting and lackluster script.
-Too polished for the feel I think it was going for.
