Unique love story/urban fairy tale- yeah I fell for this big time

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2014)

A unique and somewhat magical love story that really grabbed me. I liked everything about this, even if did require some imagination. It's an urban fairy tale about a 12 year-old prodigy (Freddie Highmore) who heads to New York City to find and reunite with the musician parents who unwittingly abandoned him as baby.
Highmore is amazing as musical prodigy "August Rush" and I have to say that Robin Williams was exceptionally creepy as "The Wizard", I liked seeing him play the bad guy here -what a great part for him. I also enjoyed the two romantic leads (Keri Russell & Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and while the ending is a bit over-the-top it still managed to make me smile. 10.13
