Kyp's Movie Review: August Rush

I should not have enjoyed this movie. But I did. Why? The power of music. Freddie Highmore did a great American accent... I think. He didn't talk a lot. Keri Russell, who I love, is good, but just good. Jonathan Rhys Meyers I'll give extra props to because he did his own singing, which is cool. Robin Williams I'd say was the best part, just because it was something different for him. The movie was boring, a bit long and too grounded in reality to justify the wild coincidences that I would, normally, be totally willing to believe. But the music is awesome. Can I recommend this movie? Not really. Buy the soundtrack instead.
