August Rush - a fantastic movie

Rarely does a movie come along that is genuinely heart-warming, romantic, funny, sincere, and sweet - that's not a chick flick! 

My wife and I went to see August Rush last night.  It was fantastic.  The basic story is of a boy, who's been separated from his birth parents and placed in a foster home.  Both of his parents were musicians, yet he doesn't know that - he feels it.  He seems to be able to hear music, though he's never played an instrument, and through the music, he feels he's connected to his parents.  He begins a quest to find his parents and to "flesh out" the music that's in his head.  He soon realizes that he's a musical prodigy - like Mozart - and begins to compose amazing music at an amazing pace.  He hopes that if he plays his music, his parents will hear it and they will all be reunited.  Don't worry - I won't spoil it.  Robin Williams has a small part in this movie - but is absolutely perfect for it.  Go see it tonight.
