Someone in Hollywood must have it in for Thanksgiving. How else to explain the cruelly timed release of August Rush, a wretched confection that only the most determined will be able to count among their blessings?

While many films require a suspension of disbelief, August Rush asks viewers to terminate their disbelief without severance and have security escort it from the building.

Its almost desperate earnestness actually turns out to be its greatest appeal -- August Rush does believe in fairy tales, it does it does it does!

A heartwarming fairy-tale that is undeniably sweet, even if it occasionally crosses over into sappiness.

"The only thing astounding about this movie is how bad it is."

Even the final few moments, which should have us choking up, seemed hurried and shot from the wrong angles.

Exuberantly bad and strenuously preposterous.

A music box trying to pass itself off as an orchestra.
