New York Times - Stephen Holden : To describe August Rush as a piece of shameless hokum doesn't quite do justice to the potentially shock-inducing sugar content of this contemporary fairy tale. more...

This one may generate a few tears. No profanity,
no sex, no violence but a great story line of a
child prodigy reunited with his biological parents through music. A triumph of believing, persistence, and family. | | | | Reply | | |

August Rush was a nice film. The story was good and so was the acting. All the actors did a very good job. As the young child hears the music and tries to find his parents, you are cheering for him and hopes that he finds them. | | | | Reply | | |

This movie was extremely slow. I walked out of the theater after twenty minutes. The kid that plays August Rush is probably the worst actor. | | | | Reply | | |

The casting was terrific. Cinematography was fluid and lyrical. The acting from entire cast was phenomenal. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie was disgusting. The story line did not flow well at all; the acting, though I love all the people in this film, was unacceptable. | | | | Reply | | |

The three main characters are all "beautiful" people who manage to convey the story with a minimum of dialog. Additional characters, including Terrence Howard as the social worker, Jamia Simone Nash as the young girl in the church choir, and Leon G. Thomas as the young boy who befriends the musical prodigy, contribute strong performances. | | | | Reply | | |

If you appreciate varieties of movies, you will appreciate this movie. It was spiritual, motivational, a drama, a romance, a thriller, a nail biting, tense causing, horribly amazing movie. Anyone will love this movie. | | | | Reply | | |

A fantastic film with classical,rock,gospel,and guitar ballads music. A love story that transcends to the spiritual for family viewing. | | | | Reply | | |
