August Rush (2007)

A kid is separated from his mom and put in an orphanage. He escapes and ends up in a sort of slum of kids ruled by a Fagin-like character. The kid has an incredible musical talent. While running from the police he takes refuge at a religious man's house. The man notices the kid's musical abilities and puts him at Juilliard. Meanwhile, his mother is looking for him.

An Oliver Twist rip-off combined with elements from Conte d'hiver, The Notebook, etc. A film which works as its own parody.

Rating: 5
