August Rush

This film is about an 11 y/o boy in an orphanage waiting for his parents to claim him. They are musicians and the rhythm of the beat courses through his veins ultimately uniting him to them. This is a cloying mushy film that could have been better than it was. It tried way too hard to get to me, and most of the plot was unbelievable. I think younger children, maybe the same age range as the film's protagonist would likely love this film, its a very cartoon-esque fairy tale.
