Incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2007)

This film is great for the entire family. The acting is wonderful and the story line is powerful. I read a comment that the film was sappy. I disagree. Although it had the potential for sappy, the acting was so strong that the movie was believable. I found myself wrapped up in this boy's magic. I wanted Evan to find a happy ending to his dream. I was hoping for him and moved by the music he felt in the world around him.
Normally I don't watch movies of this genre, but August Rush captured my emotions. I smiled, cried and believed that Evan's music would find his family. When this comes out on DVD, I will add it my my collection of favorites and will watch it many times.
