I'm with Lucy (2002)
I'm With Lucy - one of my favorites
This is just a gem of a movie. I think I fell in love the film, its characters and its writer when Lucy is serenaded by one of her potential suitors. The song, True by Spandau Ballet.
There are a couple versions of this film out there. I believe the one which is aired on cable television is superior to that which is included on the DVD. The layout affects how you are able to process the five suitor's relationship to our main character, Lucy (Potter).
Some genuinely "easy-to-hate" performances are turned in by the actors, others are more endearing. Admittedly, this is a chick flick in every sense, but a little part of me rejoices every time I see it. This movie is for everyone who's been in that awkward place of hopeful, fearful, dating, committed, separated, broken-up, testing the waters, and settled, all at once.
I'm With Lucy proves we're all just a little neurotic when it comes to love.
Mozart and the Whale (2005)
It's no Rain Man, but it is unique!
WHAT THE BOX DOESN'T TELL YOU The movie will be hard to withstand in some parts purely because this is a movie about Asperger's Syndrome (a functional form of autism). If you are renting this movie because of either of the primary characters, Josh Hartnett and Radha Mithcell, be prepared for this to be a departure from those films. If you like the synopsis on the box, you'll like this movie.
WHY I WOULD RENT IT AGAIN I like to pick quirky movies, which sit on the shelves by themselves, or with only one or two other copies. There's a uniqueness about this movie, and those like it. I am sure it has something to do with Ron Bass's (screenplay, Rain Man) intricately woven storytelling about persons with disabilities. Although I liked Josh Hartnett in other roles, this really sheds some light on his potential growth ability when it comes to acting.
