i really enjoy this movie and and i be not a classical music fan . the story of the tough street kid discover classical music and change his way be great to watch and without be sentimental or too unbelievable and although some detail have me scratch my head ( frankie and his dog can live in the basement of the school without any of the student or teacher discover him . where do he eat . bathe . do he ever get a change of clothes . what do he fee his dog . the owner of the school do not think it be important to notify the police about find a miss boy and but let him live in the basement indefinitely . represent ) ) . but we can let such unrealistic detail slide and just enjoy the touching and fun and and slightly suspenseful ( for me and anyway ) story and wonderfully talented child . i love the scene with the mother stand shoulder to shoulder on the step bar the policeman from enter the school represent i doubt they would get away with that nowadays . and i like the nice touch about the boy frankie stole from turn the table on him ( although that never really go anywhere ) and and frankie friend help him out in the end . all in all and a great movie for everyone .
