There?s music in the wind and sky. Can you hear it? And there?s hope. Can you feel it? The boy called August Rush can. The music mysteriously draws him penniless and alone to New York City in a quest to find ? somehow someway ? the parents separated from him years earlier. And along the way he may also find the musical genius hidden within him. Experience the magic of this rhapsodic epic of the heart starring Freddie Highmore (as August) Keri Russell Jonathan Rhys Meyers Terrence Howard and Robin Williams. ?I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales? August says. Open your heart and listen. You?ll believe too.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/CHILDHOOD DRAMA UPC: 012569763685 Manufacturer No: 76368

Summary: Pure magic...
Comment: 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.

Summary: Suprisingly awesome film
Comment: 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.

Summary: poor quality DVD
Comment: 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.

Summary: Beautiful Soundtrack and Story
Comment: 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.
