Brilliant. One of the finest films I have ever seen. Should be on everyone\'s best list.

I love watching this movie over and over again. I love romantic movies. The story line is simple enough. But, it was the music that really made this movie! The scoring of a movie can make or break it.... Will they have an August Rush II???? If they do, they better have a great story line and wonderful music. Full Review

Thinly disguised remake of Oliver Twist. HOW WONDERFUL. Robin Williams is threatening in the 'Fagin' role, Jonathan Ryhs Meyers is ************************** a fairy tale.... ; I loved how it 'tool me away'. Full Review

I love this movie. The quirky little smile on the main character's face is absolutely charming. I loved it and could watch it again and again. Any time the critics hate a movie&... #044; I usually find they're awesome. I NEVER listen to the critics. Full Review

I think what people are missing from the ending of this movie is that it is the perfect ending. The Director lets your brain fill in the reasons, the feelings, and the what"s ********* all given ... when Evan looks up to the Heavens. I was absolutely amazed at the acting ability of Robin Williams...I've never hated a Charactor so much! What can you say about Keri Russell; Her beautiful eyes conveyed every emotion, and gave explination to every unspoken word. I would love to see a part 2, but nothing could make this movie any better in my opinion. Thank You for one of the Best feel good movies I've had the pleasure to be entertained by. Full Review
