Review of A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004) by Daniel G — 28 Jun 2008
There is something about the south that lures me in and keeps me hooked for ages. Scarlett Johanson, John Travolta, and Gabriel Macht fall into their roles somewhat effortlessly, and carry this unique film until the very end.
When Pursy's estranged mother dies, she returns to Louisiana for the funeral, and finds two men inhabiting her mother's house. Travolta plays Bobby Long, a once-college professor and longtime friend of Purcy's mother.
Gabriel Macht plays Lawson, Bobby's protege. Pursy tries to claim the house from the two men, which turns into a living arrangement none of them are quite happy with. Acting as a fourth main character is Louisiana and all of the culture it brings.
The music in this film is perhaps some of the best I have heard, and I constantly listen to the soundtrack. They all hold their own in this film, and it will remain one of my favorites.
