August Rush
Mystical magical musical about the orphaned spawn of an unmarried rock-and-roller and classical cellist, all three reunited through music, under a full moon in Central Park, in the boy's twelfth year. Too gooey to be true. And the synthesis of motley forms of music produces ear-strain on top of credulity-strain. With Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard, and (as a cowboy-hatted, soul-patched Fagin for underage street musicians) Robin Williams; directed by Kirsten Sheridan. 2007.

This is definitely trying to pull at your heart strings, but hey, don't we need a little magic in our lives once in awhile?
