August Rush

Many call this a fairy tale. I prefer to view it as a parable. It merely reflects back to the viewer what he or she already knows. It's a reminder, and a beautiful one at that.

My daughter recommended this one and I was a bit hesitant going in but once I settled into it, my heart, my mind and my ears just opened and I was willing to receive the message.

Ok, so suspension of reality is required at times - though a positive slant is that all that's required is a bit of faith - and it's a bit obvious where the movie is going but y'know what? Who really cares? Just sit back, listen and go with it.

It's tough to find movies nowadays that can remind a person that hope and beauty really are all around us and this one is a nice reminder.

I can't believe this movie didn't do well with the critics. I guess cynicism has no place in this movie, so they felt left out. Terrific family movie, love story, musical, inspirational film. I have recommended it to many of my friends and family. I also purchased the CD and listen to it in the car quite a bit. Robin Williams is a kick, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is compelling, and he really sang his own part. The musical talent is awesome, and there's real joy conveyed throughout the film, even when times are tough.
Wonderful.

I bought a previously viewed August Rush DVD and tried it in two different players. Neither machine could read the disc. The DVD was a complete waste and should not have been available for purchase.

I love this movie. The combination of the storyline and the music has won me over. My background as an adopted child makes this story close to my heart. It also reminds someone that life is always intertwined, whether you are aware of it or not. It inspires me to stay aware, so that someday I can see how my life has intertwined with around individuals.

I have emailed twice now and have never received any response from the seller nor Amazon . I have always sworn by Amazon and yet I cannot get any one to email me. I have NEVER received this DVD and I keep asking where it is. Can someone HELP me.
