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

Very Good
It was very good, takes a while to get going, and I honestly thought I was going to lose interest in it, but after the first ten minutes, got really into it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. When we sent it back, we went out and bought it the next day. Really Good.
