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.
