Fairy tale

A Customer from Cosy from Kent, 28th November, 2007

If you like fairy tales then this will appeal. A modern day Oliver Twist, baby given away at birth after spending 11 years in a childrens home runs away, following the music in his head. My 10 year old enjoyed it, I thought it was ok, nice ending if unbelievable, but then it is a fairy tale. I do like Rhys Meyers generally but not right for this part, accent a bit dodgy. Keri Russell was very wooden and spent most of the time staring into space.

August Rush - Tear jerker! Settle down on the settee with a drink and chocolate.

A Customer from Wales, 1st April, 2008

A ‘lovely’ film, nicely shot, and produced; with the right level of sentimentality. It cannot be other than predictable, but having said that, it takes you on an interesting journey and produces the right level of ‘lumps in your throat’ to keep you engaged. The performances (all but Robin Williams) are convincing, and the lead Freddie Highmore, as the young music prodigy, delivers a sparkling performance. Good clean family entertainment, with some pauses, but all in all worth viewing for the emotion it portrays alone.

Rush to see this movie

A Customer from Dunfermline, 21st March, 2008

The story of a young boys journey to find his parents by following the music. An unbelievable but still moving modern fairytale. Great performances throughout, a wonderful soundtrack. I would recommend this film.

Cheesy but great! I think the actors all worked well together. Another good baddie so to speak for WIlliams!

If like me you like a good tearjerker this is the film for you. A really good storyline, which at times borders a bit on the impossible side, this film is definatley worth watching.

A great feel good film

A Customer from Portsmouth, UK, 7th May, 2008

This is the sort of film that uplifts you. Ignore the unlikeliness of the story and just enjoy the magic and the music. Well worth watching.
