The most annoying film I have ever seen. Trust me, do not go and see this.

I enjoyed it. I liked the poetry it was trying for. I thought the music was fun and innovative. I am aware of many of the criticisms that can be madet about this film, but I still felt it worked. At least it did for me.

Great movie. There are a couple of minor details that should have been changed or added near the end, but all in all a very enjoyable movie. Critics obviously are out of touch with what makes a good movie.

This is an amazing story, although a little cheesy. I really got swept up in the movie though, and it would be hard to see the movie without feeling for little August and maybe shedding a few tears.

A refreshing entertaining change to the common movies seen today. The music and directing deserve an Oscar.

Aside from the complete lack of chemistry between Rhys and Russel, the movie left a good feeling behind. Any music lover will be moved in a familiar way and any lover of good scripts will be moved in the opposite.

You simply have to want to enjoy it and look beyond the fact that it's really unbelievable. If you do, you'll find a movie that reaches you more than you realize. Expand

I'd rather watch Keri Russell in Waitress as it was way better than this fairy tale. After the movie I had to tap my heels together and wish I was back in Kansas.

While the movie was god awful and Freddie Highmore gives a pathetic performance, the ending is downright hysterical; even if its for the wrong reasons.

Ok, so it was a little far fetched, but it was a sweet movie to watch. It just made you feel good inside, and i loved the music!

This really is an incredible film. Like the critics say it's a poetic fairy tale and you have to expand your belief but once you do that it's a beautiful film and the way you feel at the end is a great emotion.

This is a really cool movie! Do not listen to the hard-hearted people who do not care about love or hope. Please give it a chance.

Anyone who can appreciate the power of music will overlook the (incredible) schmaltz and go along for the ride. The score is great and Freddie Highmore gets better with each movie.

This movie is beyond awful. There were too many characters, and not one was developed enough for me to have so much as a passing interest in what happened to him. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

I expected this movie to be much better. It is truly a fairy tale and one must suspend belief as there are an amazing number of coincidences. I love schmaltzy movies and should have been in tears at the end (no surprise how it ends as the I expected this movie to be much better.
