August Rush

Good movie. A little sappy but worth watching. August Rush is a child prodigy musician who is trying to find his long lost parents.

I had a problem with the way August Rush was filmed. In the movie, August is a talented musician. In real life the actor who plays him is not. There are many shots of the actor gesturing around instruments while people look on in amazment, but few shots of the actor's hands actually playing instruments. After a while, the misdirection is distracting and obvious.
