I'm not a musician neither a music-lover. Yet the movie has touched me every single time I saw it. Look at his eye, I saw how happy he is when feeling, listening, playing music. It maybe not a very successful movie but it's deserved to be kept on my favorite movie list. I voted 9 in hope of looking for a better music movie in the future.

I started off thinking I would not enjoy this movie, but I found it just so warm and moving. I was deeply touched by the performance of Freddie Highmore. I think he acts with such genuine feeling and his smile lights up the screen. If you want to watch a fast paced movie then this is not it. If you feel like watching something down to earth and honest, then this most certainly is. I have watched some of these scenes over and over and each time they make me smile. The supporting cast play there part and all of it to me seems well acted and right. A film for all the family and I promise there will not be a dry eye in the house, especially towards the film ending. Remember, music is all around us :)

This movie is really awesome. I think it sends a good moral message about the beauty of life and the gift that children are. I really liked this film even though some parts of it I don't agree with (premarital sex for example), but what is interesting is that even though Lyla got pregnant, she decided to keep her child. Many people today would have told her to have an abortion or something but she kept it even though she did not have a father to raise her child with. This movie wonderfully shows the value and worth of the human person and that every child should have a chance to live. Later when Evan is grown up we as the audience are presented with a lovable character who is so gifted and talented with music, that we can't help but fall in love with his character. It is kind of sad however that such a talented and lovable kid is being raised in an orphanage when he deserves two parents who are committed in marriage.But this is seriously one of my favorite movies, it's a feel good movie but at the same time it presents an accurate and realistic depiction of what happens in our society today, people don't want to have kids, people don't respect other human beings, etc, etc. This movie puts a personal character in our faces and helps us to see humanity and life for what it really is and how valuable and awesome it is to be human, and what a gift our lives are.

I read some of the reviews of this movie on here saying it was a bad movie with bad actors but they are wrong! It's a great moving story! The characters have a full background so you know who they are and where they came from. The actors fit their parts just right . They were a perfect pick for this movie! Keri Russell did very good at making you see what she was feeling. Freddie Highmore was just awesome as Evan. He makes you want to stop & listen to the music in everything! Jonathan Ryhs Meyers fit the part to a tee! I enjoyed watching it all the way thru!! Brought tears to my eyes . Just an awesome ending !! You will really love it , but have the tissues ready .
