From the same husband-wife team that made Malcolm. Amy has been mentally damaged and become mute after witnessing the on-stage death of her rock-star dad. Robert is a grumpy neighbour who soon realises Amy can communicate through music, and a special freindship blooms. This leads Robert into tension with Amy's mom. A solidly good film, whose flaws are more than ably compensated by its overall effect.
