Disappointed...

3 years, 2 months ago at Mar 10 7:50
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't really see what was so good about this film because I thought that there were some scenes in this film that were sort of inappropriate and was really slow and really boring. I didn't really like the story because it was just a story that was obviously emotional but was a story that I didn't even have a clue what was going on. The only thing I actually knew was th... read more

A good movie

Since I have never heard of this flick before, I had really no idea what to expect. Eventually, I actually enjoyed this movie. Indeed, in my opinion, it displays one of the best performances delivered by John Travolta since 'Pulp Fiction'. He portrays a rather eccentric and enigmatic man and he does it very well. I thought that Scarlett Johansson was pretty good too and they both add some good che... read more

A good movie

“Since I have never heard of this flick before, I had really no idea what to expect. Eventually, I actually enjoyed this movie. Indeed, in my opinion, it displays one of the best performances delivered by John Travolta since 'Pulp Fiction'. He portrays a rather eccentric and enigmatic man and he does it very well. I thought that Scarlett Johansson was pretty good too and they both add some good chemistry here. Furthermore, the movie was quite well directed. My only point of critic would be that the story was not always compelling or original and the whole thing tended to drag along a little bit. Still, it is well made drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of John Travolta.” read more

"13.4. 2010 Songs in "A Love Song for Bobby Long" have warm feeling in them and they are also supported by stylistic cinematography. Sadly, most of the time this movie works only on an emotional level because the story is way too calculated and it also cannot be said that the biggest twist is all that surprising. A young woman Pursy travels to her old home after her mother has died. Many people at this small town seem to know her mother very well and all of them seem to have something positive"
