A true story based on the recollections of a journalist from the LA Times (played by Robert Downey Jr) who wrote a series of articles about a homeless mentally-challenged street musician whom he finds playing a violin with two strings in the underpass one day (played by Jamie Foxx).
The film practically screams "award us all Oscars!! No seriously we all really want awards!!" at the viewer and it drips with heartfelt sincerity and warm-heartedness.A happy ending of sorts and it would appear rather far-fetched without the fact that all the characters actually exist (and are still there in Los Angeles now according to the closing credits).
No complaints about the acting here which is more than acceptable but did I enjoy it? Hmmmm.Have to say it passed the time without being something I could immediately recommend.4/10
