August Rush

August Rush was simply amazing. At the end of the film I was sad that it was over; I wanted to follow "August" throughout the course of his life. To me that is the mark of a good film - when you can invest so much into the main character. "August Rush" is a movie about a young boy who was orphaned at birth because his grandfather thought that his existence would ruin the life and career of his daughter. The young boy grows up and is soon discovered to be a musical prodigy, but not after a lot of hardships and heartache. The end of the film was lovely, but I would have liked a little bit more. Over all I'd say the movie was great. It was weird seeing Robin Williams play an unlikable character, I usually associate him with laughter and happiness.

This is a good movie to go and see with your whole family. I wouldn't recommend it to those who are overly weepy, I nearly cried three or four times. Some people don't like to feel sad at movies, even when the end is uplifting. If you are one of those people, you don't really want to catch this movie
