I saw it on Sun with my Mom. We both loved it, but were a little dissappointed
with Robin's character. I was expecting him to be a little... er... nicer.
Although, I do like him with red hair! :P And I can't help wondering if all
those earrings he was wearing were real....

Some movies get criticized for manipulating emotions. But if it does that well,
what's the problem? Such a film is "August Rush," a drama about three people
connected by their love of music -- among other things.The title character is a
boy played by Freddie Highmore ("Finding Neverland"). Unhappy in an orphanage,
he runs away and finds a questionable mentor in Robin Williams, as a shyster who
uses musically inclined children to make street-corner profits.Unfolding at the
same time is the story of cellist Keri Russell ("Waitress," "Felicity") and rock
musician Jonathan Rhys-Meyers ("The Tudors," "Match Point"), reunited after
their one-night stand years ago. Gee, what could their connection to the
youngster possibly be?Even if that's an easy guess, "August Rush" has genuine
feeling that today's movies offer too rarely. Equally commendable is the effort
by director Kirsten Sheridan (daughter of "In the Name of the Father" filmmaker
Jim Sheridan) and her cast to get the music aspect right. The actors really do
look musically skilled, not an easy thing to pull off. Terrence Howard also
fares well as a social worker concerned with August's well-being.If you want a
dose of heart at the movies this holiday season, give your own heart to "August
Rush." You won't be disappointed.(Rated PG)
