First of all let me say that others who reviewed this and gave it 2 or 3 stars, apparently only like reality movies. If you don't like fiction, don't watch this. But really, in "reality" how many movies can you say are realistic, since hollywood has deemed romance and love as all ooey, goey and mushy, when in reality it's not quite as feel good as they make it. Anyway, this is an awesome movie and is one of the best movies I think I have ever seen. If you love music, especially guitar, rock music and/or orchestra music, this movie is definitely for you. Yes, Robin Williams does play an unusual character, by that I mean very different then a character I've ever seen him play, but you know that's what makes him such a great actor. The male actor who plays the dad has a cool Irish accent. Of course the little boy is adorable, and Keri Russell is great, not that fake looking slutting woman that hollywood tends to portray in movies, but a natural beauty. Well I could go on and on, but I think this needs to come to and end, like the movie, which by the way made me cry, and when it was over I just sat there in shock because it made me feel so good and I thought, man this was an awesome movie. I just couldn't get over how good it was!
