Saw this charming film and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think it made lots of money and was probably relegated to the "Worst Film of the Year" list. The premise that music is a part of you from birth, thanks to your musical parents...I now believe it can happen. I cannot play a musical instrument, but I do love to sing and enjoy music in many of its forms. This, I believe, is because my father loved classical music and the tango; my mother loved to sing. Ever since grade school I would listen and purchase motion picture soundtracks, which became my introduction of classical music.
August Rush is a hopeful film and has the quality of being a "sappy" film, but I like sappy films. If you can smile during a film, the director has succeeded. Watch it, and as I always suggest, give it a chance. I am sure you will enjoy this pleasant little film!
