Well done.

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2007)

This movie provides a simple reminder to the moviegoers, "beauty and music can be found everywhere - pay attention to the little details." Score for the movie fantastically interwoven into the plot. While a couple of parts of the movie are predictable, they are not not blatantly so. One must remember that this is a movie - not 'a true story,' so please do not judge as such.
The music is a combination of every genre, from classical to rock, with everything else in between. The combination is well constructed. Even if you are not a professional musician, you will appreciate this fact.
Robin Williams does a fantastic job in this role. As usual, he shows his flexibility of parts. Freddie Highmore - two thumbs up. A versatile actor, with a long future ahead if he so chooses. Kerri Russell and Jonthan Rhys Myers did a good job as well. I had not realized that each actor played the instruments. That is not an easy task and should be highly commended. And we must not forget the bit part by Jamia Simone Nash - a girl who I believe was simply being herself in the movie, and who did a great job! Overall, I'd recommend this movie for anyone who wants to watch something out of the ordinary and well written. With a bit of a mystical twist. If you're one of those looking for a film based solely on reality, I don't recommend it, but for those willing to think outside the box, I believe you will enjoy.
