Dipping a spoon in a jar of peanut
butter and coating it in M&Ms while watching gory
medical shows on television is, for Pursy (Scarlett
Johansson), an afternoon well-spent. But, when her
mother's death forces her to get off the couch and leave
her trailer park and grimy boyfriend behind, she finds
some new friends who have her bested in the sloth
department.
Arriving at her
late mother's home in New Orleans, she meets Bobby Long
(John Travolta) and his sidekick Lawson (Gabriel Macht),
two sweaty alcoholics who are squatting in the
dilapidated dwelling. Bobby Long not only lies to Pursy
about the fact that she legally owns the house--taking
advantage of her innocence--he also behaves like an
angry and aggressive dirty old man. It is Lawson who
sees Pursy for who she is--a directionless 18-year-old
girl who desperately needs guidance and positive role
models. His fatherly support sparks an instant crush
between the two, which only fuels Bobby's drinking and
deviance. However, with time and patience the three
friends find they have more in common than they first
realized, and they help each other to get back on track.
A moody film in set in toxic shades of blue, green, and
red, A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG combines the lazy,
lurking, sometimes romantic mystique of New Orleans with
the desperation of three lost souls. Rain storms
counterbalance hazy summer days drinking beer and
singing folk songs, while Bobby Long and Lawson--who
were formerly English teachers--add a necessary dose of
intellect with their constant literary trivia!!
