What a lovely film!

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2008)

I fell in love with this film. If you love music, see this movie. It had the same magical qualities as Serendipity which I also loved. The fact that music can work its lush language to bring people together, well, if we had more music on this planet there would not be war. Fabulous soundtrack and kudos to John Rhys Meyers on his vocal talents. I hope to see Freddie Highmore in many more movies as he was spot on in the lead role. Keri Russell surprised me too. PERFECTION! It was very Dickensian in parts too being that he is an orphan. The only thing I found funny was that the Fillmore East was misplaced geographically. There is no L train on 2nd Avenue. We watched this movie after JUNO and as much as I liked Juno, this movie remains closer to my heart. BRAVO!
