August Rush

This was a great movie. It's sappy and unbelievable in many ways but I loved the premise. And you have to just believe to enjoy the movie.

Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers play two young musicians and lovers who meet by chance in New York City. After their meeting, they are soon parted and struggle the next ten years with who they are and what they lost.

Their son ends up at a boy's home for 11 years and believes that he can hear his parents through the musical connection we all have to the universe. He leaves the boy's home and heads out on the journey to reunite himself and his parents by composing a song his parents will reconize. Never having played an instrument, Evan learns to play and compose in a short time... Did the stars align to bring this family back together through the gift of song? You'll have to see it to find out.

The music is classical and contemporary and Jonathan is some nice eye candy! I'm getting the soundtrack pronto!

Worth the money: $$$$ (Becasue music really does connect us all)
