Trivia:
The IND Hoyt-Schermerhorn St. station in Brooklyn was used for the subway scene when August tries to run away. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: The license plates on the cars in NYC have the design of the current New York License plates. However, the part of the movie where Louis is chasing Lyla is supposed to take place 11 yrs prior to present day, being 1995-1996. Those license plates were not issued until many years later, probably 1999-2000. moreQuotes:
August Rush: Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you. But I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales. moreSoundtrack:
Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85, Adagio - Moderato moreFAQ

I never comment on movies here, usually I just use this website to get an idea of what I am about to watch but I saw this movie last night and loved it.
This movie is a fairytale set in real life circumstances. I really like that the film was never advertised as an Oliver Twist take, but I loved all of the allusions to it. It was a very creative take on the classic story. The poor orphan boy who wants nothing more than to be loved.
My favorite aspect of the movie was how infused music actually was in the movie. I am a musician and I liked the touches that the filmmakers went into to make the film seem as credible as a fairytale can be. I also like how it brought together modern rock, classic symphonic music, and modern symphonic music. It didn't really glamorize the life's of everyday musicians. I like all of the extra little things that were thrown into the movie that only a musician would get. There were some errors but for the most part I applaud the film makers for the attention to the musical details.
Yes the movie was a bit bit corny, and a little over the top, but for the most part I loved it and suggested it to every one.
