Critics consensus

“Though featuring a talented cast, August Rush cannot overcome the flimsy direction and schmaltzy plot.”

A music box trying to pass itself off as an orchestra.

While many films require a suspension of disbelief, August Rush asks viewers to terminate their disbelief without severance and have security escort it from the building.

However predictable, a good ol' fashioned happy ending is always welcome. But bring a box of tissues: A good cry is to be expected as well.

August Rush benefits greatly from a delightful cast and John Mathieson's transcendent, fantasy-like camera work.
