THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
"Some people say it's a modern fantasy. Some people say this movie is unrealistic...but in my opinion, this movie is the best movie to show that miracles DO happen and God is running the world."
August Rush
"I thought it was bit of a take off on Oliver Twist but instead of pick pockets they earned money in the streets using there music talents still run by a leader as in Robin Williams as your bad guy! I liked it enough that it should of been in final 5 for best picture! It was also a good romance for his parents! 5 stars Excellant!"
August Rush - should have been Academy Awards
"As usual the critics were completely wrong. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this movie. You fall in love with August Rush, the music is fabulous, it pulls at every heart string. Beautiful movie for all ages and families to watch together. I was so taken that I had to watch it over again immediately. It's been ages since a movie has made me feel so good. If you want to be uplifted and taken on a beautiful journey then this is the movie for you."
August rush Was the best Movie to see
"I suppose the critics are used to vulgar language. Sex you can see and blood and gore in order to like a movie when I watched this movie from begining to end it drew me in and I really loved the purnes of the movie do I think it was right to have love at first sight no I dont but stuff happened do I think its right for a child to be forged into a foster home no I dont but how many rich people did this to their children back in the day and still do this? do i think she would have beeenable to find him so quickly in the real world mabey and mabey not but the movie was terrific even though it had thses flaws."
Outstanding!
"Over the years I've become tired of the garbage on the screen, excessive violence, oversexed, filled with greed and money loving under and overtones. August Rush resurrects wholesomeness in films, and is a pleasant surprise for me as I passed it up numerous times, finally watching and continue to watch over and over. Genuinely inspirational, this film will captivate you and your family and give all of them that warm fuzzy feeling inside. If you don't like being uplifted and can't handle feeling good inside, don't rent it or buy it.. smoothjazztampabay.com"
Okay, but not excellent
"I think this movie was a little too slow and predictable, but the music was outstanding."
Great movie
"This has to one of the best movie i saw this year and the music was the best ever to be in a movie i know for sure that it took a lot of creativity to make this movie and the acting was terrific overall i would give it a 100"
the World needs to see this movie
"words can not do it justice so I will not tryJust say that it's a movie for old to younglisten to it once with your eyes closed .quiet your mind and bodyEnjoywhether you like music or not anyone should be able to appreciate this movieThank you"
We loved this Movie!
"My wife and I both loved this, think it's one of the all time best feel good movies and will add it to our collection, a definite keeper. Music fills our hearts, minds and soul...it's like a connective tissue and this movie points that out. Sure, it's a bit predictable, somewhat sappy, but we love it. I'm amazed we had not heard much advertising about it. I think it needs and oscar! Really!"
THE BEST MOVIE EVER
"i laughed, i cried and i even screamed IT was OUTSTANDING"
I Loved It!
"I went to see this movie - despite the poor reviews by most critics - because the story line interested me, Robin Williams is in it, it takes place in New York city, one of my favorite places, and I'm a lifelong music lover. The fact that it deals with the plight of orphans who have no idea who their parents are or were was a plus - although I admit that this story is far from typical. (Would that they all could find their parents, and that their parents were successful and "good" people.) Yes, it's improbable, but I found it utterly charming and left the theater in a great mood, knowing that I'd been thoroughly entertained. Movies don't have to contain sex, violence, and depressing or puzzling endings to be successful. For me, this one worked, and I have no regrets. If it appears on TV in the future, I know I'll watch it again!"
Do critics really understand music?
"Most movie critics are either non-musicians or musician want-to-bes, and are unable to be emotionally involved and affected by music. Therefore they are on the outside looking in and unable to critic or adjudicate a movie involving the musical drive and spirit that musicians feel. Music lives on and the movie critics come and go, some faster than others."
this movie is da bomb
"this was an awsome movie i would watch everytime i saw a movie"
Excellent Movie ~ It's About Time!
"The adults in our family (10 in total) went out for a movie without the kids, the men went to see a "guy movie" and the only choices we had were August Rush or Enchanted in our time slot. We went in with the attitude, we'll there's nothing better to watch, and boy were we surprised! This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long, long time. The critics above are wrong. This movie should get several awards. It was predictable in places, but what a movie! We left the theater stating this is a movie we would defintely buy on DVD. It's nice to see a movie that is not loaded with sex, language and violence. This is defintely a must see! Enjoy ~"
What a Pleasure
"Yes, a pleasure to see a film not loaded with shootings, mayhem, sex, drugs and the like.You don't even have to be a music lover to get some good out of this unbelievable love story.Take the kids. They'll love it also. Too bad the film was not adequately promoted and advertised. Tough to find a theater where it is still playing. Too bad."
Movie of the Year
"I have seen them all. This takes every award. Mesmerizing!! Everthing about this movie was superb! Take your kids. Thank you, Hollywood, for FINALLY understanding there are people in this world that actuallyWANT good, wholesome movies, with great family values and faith."
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!
"its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good"
SEE THIS MOVIE-The critics are WRONG!!!
"At the end of this movie, the theatre audience stood up and applauded! That never happened to me in a theatre before. It was that good! You won't be dissapointed."
For Fantasy lovers only!
"What schlock! We have Keri Russell wondering around with this constant awe struck expression befitting an astounded 4 year old. All the while she is flashing a toothpaste commerical smile. It was like watching a Keri Russell modeling session instead of a woman falling in love. It took almost 2 hours for the obvious to happen. The story belonged in a half hour after-school special. The only saving grace was being able to watch 2 pretty people for a while."
August Rush - a Viewer's review
"Soupy, predictable. I'm getting sick of seeing that archway at New York University in every picture I've seen in the last six months, be it on TV or in the flicks. Roger Fulton Yuma, Az"

"this movie was the first movie in a while that I actually WAS NOT bored and couldnt wait to leave. It had my attention the entire time because it had a little bit of everything in it.my and my friend left with a smile"
Great Feel-Good Movie
"I thought this would be an enjoyable and fun movie for my husband and I to see, but it was even better! The predictablity of it made it even more fun and exciting, and I found myself jumping in my seat wating for the inevitable climax of the film. The music and beauty of the inprobabable story was refreshing and entertaining! What do the critcs know anyway?"

"This movie was such a pleasure...no it's not action"
DEAD RONG REVIEWS
"Excellent music. Very likeable actors, kid, beautiful mother, father. I do like Robin Williams better as Mrs, Doubtfire or Mork from Ork and the story was unrealistic (but fun) if you care about such things. This movie was as enjoyable as ive seen and i dont know what these reviewers were on the day they saw it. must be constipation."
August Rush

""This movie is a must see.One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.I am a grown man and this grown man shed some tears in this movie.Don't go by the newspaper reviews. Go see this movie and your heart will be touched.Excellent movie!!!"
incredible
"I just saw this movie. My parents had went to see it when it came out and recommended it to me because they knew of my passion for music. This movie was so incredibly amazing. I think you have to have a real passion and understanding for music to enjoy this movie, but it is defiantly one of my favorites. The casting and settings were perfect, I must say, I was expecting a little more out of the ending, but overall...bravo."
