I saw August Rush Friday night and I was extremely impressed. This movie is great! Freddie Highmore (The Golden Compass & HBO's "A Good Year") was excellent as the star of the film. On top of the solid storyline and excellent acting (also Robin Williams, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, & Terrence Howard) the music in this film floored me. Grant it, the boy music prodigy August Rush wasn't actually playing the music... but someone was... and it was excellent. Being a guitar player, I very much respected the music in this film, and wish I could play like that. I'm currently waiting to find my $25 iTunes card I got for Christmas so I can buy the soundtrack... It'll be well worth the money. August Rush was excellent, family friendly, and definitely a must see for all you moviegoers.

so, i saw this movie last friday night as well. took my girlfriend chelsi to go see it. and i liked it. it was good, i hated robin williams in the movie. i was angry at his character most of the time. the music was really good, but chelsi plays the cello, so it kinda annoyed her whenever the woman would play the cello because it was REALLY fake. but like you said, someone had to be playing it. so i enjoyed it. and i noticed that the movie critics gave it a C but the audience gave it an A. There were some unrealistic things that happened, but i'd give it a solid B.
Enjoy!

ya.. i agree with chels on the whole "fake playing" thing.. but i did hear that the woman who played the mom did learn how to play some.. but obviously wasnt able to play super amazing in the 4 months that she learned it in.. but besides that, i really super enjoyed the movie! when i saw it friday night it was the second time. But one of my favorite characters?? ha.. the little girl that sings in the choir that Evan gets to know.. heh.. she's adorable.. well.. those are my thoughts on the movie..
the end.
