So overall the movie wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. Robin Williams was not is a good drama actor...he just isn't...stop trying, Robin. The ending was horrible...ugh...hello?? what happened?

Overall, I am glad that I saw it, just a few grips. Not sure I would tell people to go see it...at least wait until DVD

I agree, I thought it was just overdone. Good plot, good emotion but it's as if they tried too hard to make us understand something we already understood.

But I did like the ending, that all came together at one place with music. Made me a bit tearful.

And of course I could look at and listen to Jonathon Rhys Myers for a long long time, and I have a new enthusiasm for the guy from Moonlight.

Just saw the movie. Loved it! Loved the music, too. Would love to own the soundtrack.

I just saw it last week too.

I liked that the storyline was different than most romantic movies. I had that choking crying feeling most of the time while watching. I think the movie would have benefited from being a little longer so they could play out more of what happened afterwards and I also wished their love affair would have been more than a couple of hours. More on how the boy's new life affected the ones of the friends he made on the street would have been cool as well. That being said, I still liked it.

Jonathan Rhys Myers is a doll. I was surprised to find that it really was him singing and that his accent is genuine. I downloaded several of the songs from itunes as well.

Danzdol, there was a miniseries a couple of years ago with him playing Elvis. The boy can sing!

Saw this on the plane ride home last night -- and loved it - even the ending! I liked the "Oliver" comparison w/Robin Williams and the boys, and I adored the music! My dad's a music teacher who will definitely be receiving this as a gift.
