A Love Song For Bobby Long (2004) 5/10

Starring : John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson, Gabriel Macht, Deborah Kara Unger
Director : Shainee Gabel
Running Time : 124 mins

Pursy Will (Johansson) returns to her childhood home following the death of her mother only to discover that her mother’s friend Bobby Long (Travolta), an ageing writer with a terrible drinking habit, is claiming that her mother left him part of the house in her will, as well as another man named Lawson Pines (Macht), and they have no intention of leaving.

This was a pretty pointless movie, and Travolta didn't even come across as slightly believable as the ageing alcoholic. This isn't helped by the fact that this is the main focus of the movies storyline, and even the usually wonderful Scarlett Johansson could do little to rescue this movie from anything less than mediocrity.
