i be more than willing to give this a good shot and enjoy a nice feel good film star the likable freddie highmore ( charlie and of charlie and the chocolate factory fame ) . however and when i start hear 10 year old uneducated street urchin talk with vocabulary like college professor and say thing that no little kid would say and i get turn off . add to that more hollywood politically correctness and low morality . and so much for the nice and feel good story . the sweet look good girl of the story meet a guy on the roof of a building and sleep with 20 minute later . they agree to meet somewhere the next day but her parent whisk her back to where she come from and and the two do not connect . nine month later the baby arrive right when the mother have a car accident . the father say the kid die but really he have give the boy to child service . meanwhile and the boy now 11 and live in an orphanage run off to new york city somehow figure that magically and through hearing music and he will meet his parent . sound a little far out . yeah and it be and and even more so a you see if play out . it a nice message of young boy never lose faith that he would meet his parent some day but the way he eventually do be so ridiculous and so far out and so unrealistic . that it insult your intelligence . this turn out to be an oliver twist wannabe that isn not even close to the latter in quality and believability . robin williams a a wizard ( fagin in oliver twist ) ought to tell you something . meanwhile and evan ( highmore ) meet up with this street kid ( arthur and play by leon thomas ) be verbally annoy a hell . and thing progress from there . there be so many plot hole and contrivance in this film and you couldn not count them all . example . well and the kid learn about sheet music one day and two hour later he write composition that would make beethoven proud . later and he get accept to the julliard school of music despite the fact he have no credential or background on who he be and where he from . if you have any brain at all and this movie be a slap in the face to you .
