Movie Review August Rush (SPOILER ALERT)

Freddie Highmore Plays Evan Taylor AKA August Rush. Evan grows up in a foster home and is waiting for his parents to find him. Evan is a gifted young boy who can hear music all around him. His parents are musicians as well. His mom Lyla Novacek played by Keri Russell. is a cello player from Juilliard. Evans Dad Louis Connelly played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers who plays guitar and is the lead singer in a family band with his brother doesn't even know he has a son. Even wanders out into the world and gets lost but is found by Maxwell 'Wizard' Wallace played by Robin Williams
who's is a scam artist and has kids working for him peddling for money. Richard Jeffries played by Terrence Howard a social worker who cares and is looking to find Evan meets Lyla when she comes in to find her son who was put up for adoption by her dad and was told he baby died. Evan plays music in the park for money where he meets and jams on guitar with his dad. In the end they all meet up at a concert in the park that Evan has written and the philharmonic is playing. This film is very touching and heartwarming. At the end of the day i give this film two big toes way up and a pinky toe as well.
