Trivia:
The IND Hoyt-Schermerhorn St. station in Brooklyn was used for the subway scene when August tries to run away. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: In addition to the already-reported lack of an El train on Second Ave. in front of the site of the former Fillmore East (there once was a 2nd Ave El but it was torn down in the 1940's), the film portrays the Second Avenue facing front of the former Fillmore East as a dilapidated version of its former self, still sporting the old Fillmore East's marquee & still labeled as such. In fact, the Fillmore East's former entrance/lobby area is and for quite some time has been a redeveloped bank branch. moreQuotes:
Louis Connelly: Wait! Meet me here, at ten o'clock, by the arch!Marshall: [to Lyla, everyone egging her on] Go on then, say yes!
[Lyla smiles a little, and nods]
Louis Connelly: I take that as a yes!

This is a fantastic movie. Well done. During our screening at a particularly tough part for the title character, I heard people in the theater say "No, no..." The level of "buy in" and suspension of disbelief is high.
Even the dissonance of Wizard and Lila's father was handled superbly. Robin Williams hit just the right note in his portrayal of Wizard. The actors playing Agust Rush/Evan Taylor and his mother and father were amazingly well cast.
This is truly a symphony of a film. You'll enjoy it, your children will enjoy it, and you will walk out of the theater knowing that, for once, your ticket money was well spent.
