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..

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.

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.
