A couple have a "one night stand" and a girl gets pregnant, they're shown lying together fully clothed. Sexual content shows some kissing right after meeting. Language isn't bad but includes a few name calling words and Violence is average with a cop-chase scene, off-screen car crash where a character is injured & hospitalized, a fight at a party between two men with pushing and angry yelling, yelling and arguing between father and daughter, bullying at a group home. But can Evan escape? In the end, a beautiful event unfolds that Evan has been waiting for his entire life. When he gets his hands on highly talented Evan and renames him August Rush, he tries to turn him into something he's not. When he runs away, he meets an interesting character called Wizard (Robin Williams) who provides a home for a huge group of musical kids who make money for Wizard. Evan grows up in a group home hoping and praying each night his parents will find him through his music. Only to find out 11 years later that her father lied to protect her, she starts searching for her son. The upset Lyla gets hit by a car which sends her to the hospital when her father breaks the bad news that her baby didn't make it. Lyla's over-protective father demands Lyla to not see Louis ever again when he finds out she's pregnant. Great cast and amazing acting especially by little Freddie! Freddie Highmore plays a young kid named Evan who was born to young lovers Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and Lyla (Keri Russell). I must say this movie was very inspiring with gorgeous music throughout that gives you the chills. What an awesome movie! I meant to watch this a long time ago but I kept putting it off, until it was recommended to me. I don't want my kids thinking that's love. Other than that, I think it was a cute movie, and the story of the boy was great, but the parents' backstory is just a little too unbelievable. Both of us agreed that "love at first sight" is merely a first impression, and that what they did was irresponsible. After finishing this movie, my 11-year-old and I had a conversation about true love. I want my kids to see realistic love stories, like that between me and my husband, or some of our couple friends, not flimsy, weepy, unrealistic stories like this. After being separated, they both spontaneously decide that they were meant for each other and rush off to New York. First of all, they had a kid without even meeting a second time and completely disregarding birth control. Yes, it's cute, yes, it's heartwarming, yet it's also kind of disturbing. Apparently, after thinking about each other for the ELEVEN YEARS they've been apart, they drop everything and rush back to the place they met to find each other again, and also find their son. Both are unaware of their son, who is wandering through New York trying to find them. They part ways and battle work and family life to find each other. After five seconds of talking to him, they make out and end up having sex (nothing shown until the morning) on a random roof. However, I wasn't sure what the movie was trying to get across? The overarching story is that a young woman met a guy somewhat like her on a roof. Sure it was a good family movie, and covered the beautiful journey of a young boy searching for where he belonged.
