Mozart and the Whale
(2005)
Starring: Josh Hartnett, Radha Mitchell

A rather forgettable story of two people with Aspergers that fall in love. One of the few redeeming qualities of this mediocre film is the expansive coverage of many Spokane tourist attractions. Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell spend lots of time in Riverpark Square and the park, so the film will automatically appeal to any Spokanite. Although i must give credit to Josh Hartnett for his well played role, the character played by Radha Mitchell was over the top and not very relatable. The choppy plot is so disjointed and uncohesive that it may as well have been stuck together with duct tape. It appears that the director wanted to use the well known, handsome face of Josh Hartnett and rely on the sympathetic nature of the audience to be sufficiently enthralled and distracted away from the films many flaws. In conclusion, if you live in Spokane, Mozart and the Whale is a film worth watching simply for the local sightseeing and extras, but otherwise it falls short of any recognition or praiseworthy attributes.
