That
darling little Freddie Highmore (Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory, A Good Year) resurfaces in August Rush, Warner Bross
Thanksgiving/Christmas family concoction that sugarcoats reality with the
finesse of a fairy tale patissier. With Oliver Twist as a mentor the orphaned
Augustrepellent offspring of a musically intense one-night standseeks to
reconnect with his roots via his radiant musicality. Nauseating, offensive,
degrading, and cretinous, this is a real Christmas treat for all the family.
