Jan 15, 2016A very nice little movie with a great message. I love how this kid sees music in everything...it's really cool. I know what that's like sometimes to some extent, finding a soundtrack to everyday life. Although obviously, August sees and hears this to a much greater degree than anyone else lol. Anyway, this is worth a watch.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Dec 21, 2012I enjoyed this wonderful film that is about lost people trying to find each other. I think the jaded critics are way off on their reviews of this romantic, family friendly film.Robert B Super Reviewer
