critics consensus
Though obviously a labor of love, American Rhapsody is an uneven, heavy-handed effort, particularly in the second half. Read critic reviews

An American Rhapsody, in its straightforward way, earns its emotions.
September 14, 2001 -
An American Rhapsody speaks from the heart to the heart.
September 7, 2001 -
This should be a fascinating story, but An American Rhapsody never develops a melody or a rhythm, much less the epiphany the title suggests.

The film is never less than engaging.
September 6, 2001 -
Has an unerring eye for the banal intricacies of 1950s pre-planned suburban neighborhoods.

A story this compelling deserves a better telling.

Audience Reviews for An American Rhapsody

Jun 30, 2013Based on a true story, An American Rhapsody is an inspiring tale of heroism and self-sacrifice. When a Hungarian family flees to America to escape from the oppressive Communist regime the youngest daughter is separated and left behind, but years later when she is reunited with her family she feels caught between two worlds. Unfortunately, the film is poorly structured and isn't able to build any suspense or momentum. Additionally, the characters aren't developed very well, and never really connect with the audience. So while the story is quite interesting, An American Rhapsody suffers from weak filmmaking.Dann M Super Reviewer

Aug 05, 2012Not a blockbuster, but an interesting true story family drama. The casting director of this movie sure knew talent when they saw it. All throughout the film we are blessed with many up and comings..especially Scarlett Johansson. The movie itself is made-for-tv quality, and slightly better than average.Cynthia S Super Reviewer
