August Rush
An Incredible Journey Moving at the Speed of Sound
A charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) have a chance encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, orphaned by circumstance. Years later, performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams) who gives him the name August Rush, the child (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

This was an unexpected feel good movie. It's predictable and you've seen this story before, but is doesn't stop you from getting that warm feeling in your heart and making you feel good.
I also really enjoyed the musical performances and it really celebrated the way that good music makes you feel. Robin Williams also had a great performance as a bad guy named wizard.
