Who's in it? Freddie Highmore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Williams, Keri Russell
What's it about? A little boy, believed to be an orphan, sets out to find his parents who don’t know he exists and bring together through music.
What type of film is it? Drama
Is it any good? It’s an absolute gem of a movie. I admit, the plot sounds amazingly cheesy but this film is so touching it had me in tears by the end. It’s absolutely irresistible and is one of the most charming and endearing films you’ll see this year. Robin Williams is upstaged by Freddie Highmore who is fast becoming one of the best young British actors in Hollywood. Uplifting and heart warming, this is a perfect date movie.
