Evan Taylor (Freddie Highmore) is a cheerful young lad who lives in an orphanage. He doesn’t want to be adopted, because he firmly believes his parents to be still alive (he hears their music), and that someday he will be reunited with them. In fact they are very much alive – but ironically enough former concert cellist Lyla Novack (Keri Russell) and Irish guitarist Louis Connelly (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who once spent a single night of passion together some years back, don’t even know of Evan’s existence!
Evan runs away from kindly welfare counselor Richard Jeffries (Terence Howard), only to fall into the clutches of Fagan-like character Maxwell Wallace – also known as “The Wizard” (a marvelous performance by Robin Williams in a phony-looking ginger wig). But don’t worry, folks! The scriptwriters have given us a happy ending here.
Verdict: one of the most delightful (if predictable) movies seen in quite a while! Five stars all the way!
There's music in the wind and sky. Can you hear it? And there's hope. Can you feel it? The boy called August Rush can.
The music mysteriously draws him, penniless and alone, to New York City in a quest to find - somehow, someway - the parents separated from him years earlier. And along the way he may also find the musical genius hidden within him.
