A music box trying to pass itself off as an orchestra.

While many films require a suspension of disbelief, August Rush asks viewers to terminate their disbelief without severance and have security escort it from the building.

However predictable, a good ol' fashioned happy ending is always welcome. But bring a box of tissues: A good cry is to be expected as well.

Even the final few moments, which should have us choking up, seemed hurried and shot from the wrong angles.

Watching this yucky emotional drama is like being sprayed with treacle from a high-pressure hose.

Audience Reviews for August Rush

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
