the movie is probably not the best, from the production pov, but the story is the nice one! little bit melodramatic, but very enjoyable.

here, it took 7.4/10. this is quite good! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426931/

If you enjoy music, I just thought I mention this flick.I could give a *hit what the reviews say. The music was interestingly intertwined, kind of reminded me of seeing STOMP..

One of these days when Its on HBO I'll check it out for sure.

I sprung for the $4.99 "on demand" fee and watched the movie last night. It was nice. Not a blockbuster, and not the type I'll need to watch over and over ( like Mr. Holland ), but I did enjoy the surrealness of it. The intense looks on the kids face when he was playing. Too bad they didn;t train Keri Russel better in faking the cello parts. Sometimes, the strings didn't eben look like they were pushed down.
I don't mean to pick it apart, but I'm always critical of that kind of "movie magic". Remember Robert Deniro in "New York, New York", or Richard Gere in "The Cotton Club" - bad fake jobs there too.

I DID like the movie though. I'm always a sucker for a happy ending. It had an "Oliver" like twist(sorry ) to it. Robin Williams could play Fagan with ease.

Man...I had a lot of typos in that post - sorry !

good thing you didn't spend $11.00+ each at the movie theatre to be disappointed

I wasn't DISapointed .... just a bit underwhelmed. I hate bad fake jobs, and we all know that kid din't play the guitar parts ... so...it just left me a little flat. I still love a happy ending.
This movie was a remake of Oliver with more music in the plot.
