Eighth Month Blitz
I really liked parts of this movie. As a whole I was satisfied but not overly content with what was given to me. The story line was a bit shaky and the movie trailer definitely lured me in and was better than the movie. But the film had some surprises that caught me off guard and I really enjoyed Robin Williams role.
I think August Rush was made to help people stop and listen more to the people around them. Messages that we miss because we're so busy trying to survive that we forget to stop and enjoy our surroundings.
Freddie Highmore is a firestorm of a performer. He continues to burn vibrantly after out acting all the adults around him. He's going to be one of those actors similar to Ron Howard. Powerhouse performances as a child will build a nice foundation for him as an adult.
I recommend August Rush to anyone who's lost love and then found it again. Whether it was a family member or a lover, this film will move you. I got chills a number of times while watching it. Like I said, although not necessarily impressive cinematically, or providing us with the strongest plot line, it does pull at our heartstrings. This movie is worth seeing. But maybe wait and see it at matinee time.
