If you can get past all of that, then 'August Rush' is really a wonderful and original story that will charm your pants off. And if you can accept that he has the power to change into a tuxedo faster than Clark Kent can put on his blue tights, then you're gold.

If you can accept the notion that he leafs through a 1st grade music book for 10 seconds and immediately knows advanced musical theory (the equivalent of leafing through a basic arithmetic book and suddenly knowing calculus), then you're halfway there. If you can accept that he can see a guitar for the first time and immediately rock out like Stanley Jordan, then you're OK.

That's fine, but this kid is downright supernatural. The story is predicated on the idea that a young boy is a musical prodigy. I won't go into too much detail what these errors/allowances are (other IMDb members have already compiled quite a list in the goofs section), but if you are a musician, particularly a classically trained one, you'll need some serious suspension of disbelief. That is, just as we accept that a big bad wolf can talk and a family of bears can cook porridge, we must make some large allowances for this film if we are to accept it. First, this must be treated as a fairytale. But in the end I have to say the magic triumphs, and if you watch this movie you'll probably enjoy it IF you are aware of a few things up front. It also has some of the biggest plot holes I've seen in years. 'August Rush' is the most magical story I've seen in years.
