this movie be not really worth my time . the preview make it look significantly more coherent and put together and but the plot line in this movie be all over the place and and the weak music score do little to tie it all together . mean to be inspirational and the movie come off a silly and contrive and and in part laughable . too many character and back story and and side story be introduce and leave unattended . the love story between lyla ( kerri russel ) and louis ( jonathan rys myers ) be passionless and boring . freddy highmore and a the title character and be frankly creepy throughout much of the movie . and since the movie revolve around music and the fact that august be a prodigy and more effort should have be put into teach the kid to look like he know anything about music or conducting . the score for the movie be merely adequate and a be the entire movie itself .
