Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.
– Jennifer Preyss,

rotten:
Even the final few moments, which should have us choking up, seemed hurried and shot from the wrong angles.

fresh:
This inspirational drama gets three stars for oddity value alone.

fresh:
August Rush will not be for everyone, but it works if you surrender to its lilting and unabashedly sentimental tale of evocative music and visual poetry.
– Claudia Puig,

rotten:
Exuberantly bad and strenuously preposterous.
