Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

SimonJack "August Rush" is a wonderful story about life and love. The reuniting of parents with a child they didn't know they had, and with each other, happens through unknown feelings or senses of the missing person or persons. The vehicle that connects the three main characters here is natural talent for music. In the case of the boy, August, it's an innate musical genius. Something like this may not be as far-fetched as one may think. The medical and other sciences are researching in many fields of human life from conception, to genetics and heredity. New discoveries are pointing to biological connectedness only imagined in the past. This is between parents and children, siblings, and even relatives removed from a direct bloodline. Some studies have found twins separated at birth and adopted out, knowing some way that they have a twin brother or sister. Other studies are looking at siblings who have a sense of a brother or sister who is not alive. As research continues and we learn more about the complex make up of human life, we may one day come to realize that we all are brothers and sisters in the human race. This is a superb story about the beauty and sacredness of all life - not just that of the specially gifted. August shows us that by his observation of others, and amazement for what they do. This is a fine film for the whole family. And, it could be a good learning vehicle if shown in the schools.The film has touches of humor in places. Here's a favorite line. Louis's fiancé is turned off at his family reunion and leaves in a huff. As she drives off, Marshall says, "Louis, aren't you supposed to be in the car with the girl as she drives off into the sunset?"

Kirpianuscus few slices of Dickens. a lovely story. music. and great story. about vocation and about hope. about the force of music. and about the art. about an entire state of soul. impressive. and remarkable eulogy of freedom and the courage to do the right choice. August Rush is unique. because it seems be the classic sad story with the perfect end, a fairy tale in modern rhythm. or, just a lovely trip across the beauty circles. so, a great film. not perfect, not the desired masterpiece. only a great film. about the science and fascinated science. to be yourself.

tdowell-40280 I remember the first time i ever seen august rush. I read the information and said this should be interesting. And i loved it so much. I love music and i love this movie. I will still be waiting for part 2 of this movie because i really wanna know how life went after reconnecting with his family after all these years. A total 10 from me. This movie touched me somewhere special i cry through the whole movie every time i watch it. Its romantic and funny and emotional. Every orphan or adopted kid should never stop looking for their birth parents because you never know if they are looking for you or thinking about you.

juneebuggy A unique and somewhat magical love story that really grabbed me. I liked everything about this, even if did require some imagination. It's an urban fairy tale about a 12 year-old prodigy (Freddie Highmore) who heads to New York City to find and reunite with the musician parents who unwittingly abandoned him as baby.Highmore is amazing as musical prodigy "August Rush" and I have to say that Robin Williams was exceptionally creepy as "The Wizard", I liked seeing him play the bad guy here -what a great part for him. I also enjoyed the two romantic leads (Keri Russell & Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and while the ending is a bit over-the-top it still managed to make me smile. 10.13
