Wonderfully predictable

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2007)

This is a wonderful movie...charming/clean/uplifting. Does it have a Hollywood ending? Sure. But, just show up and enjoy yourself.
Many child actors who serve in a leading role do not have the screen presence of Freddie Highmore. He allows the adult audience to enjoy a movie that is suitable for children, but not feel as if they are watching a kid movie.
The music in August Rush is diverse and thoroughly enjoyable. Guitar music, band music, street performer music, orchestra music.
August Rush is not about Academy Award nominees; it is about a boy seeking to find joy....It is about the audience experiencing joyous moments on screen.
