Not for kids, and not worth it for adults.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2010

The film's liabilities outweigh its assets.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 6, 2005

A Love Song for Bobby Long's trio of lead performances are surprisingly believable.

| Original Score: B | May 3, 2005

Mais um daqueles independentes norte-americanos cuja presuno de soar profundo logo revela sua verdadeira inteno: emocionar atravs do melodrama.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 28, 2005

Tries the patience of sober viewers, who are likely to envy the onscreen eccentrics their ever-present plastic cups of Abita...

We should take it no more seriously than we would Bobby Long himself. Like the old professor, it talks such amusing nonsense.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Mar 6, 2005

The film shares many qualities with its rambling and at times honestly endearing characters: it's sloppy, decent-hearted and most often embarrassing.

Full Review | Mar 5, 2005

It's little more than a collection of cliches about the Deep South, alcoholism and the literary arts.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 18, 2005

Things move at a snail's pace in the humid bayou atmosphere writer-director Shainee Gabel creates, allowing Travolta to chew several yards of Cajun-spiced scenery.

John is a fine actor, he's not quite a match for this part, nor does his southern accent ring true. Perhaps Billy Bob Thornton would have made a better cast.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 5, 2005

Delights as often as it dulls the senses.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 2, 2005

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2005

The cast appears to have mistaken a verbose screenplay for great writing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 28, 2005

Traffics in nearly every trite cliche of the 'colorful' South one can think of.

| Jan 28, 2005

Sentimental but occasionally moving drama.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 28, 2005

Engaging and transparent at once.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 28, 2005

An above-average independent movie that gives us an interesting version of a popular indie theme: difficult parents and the fallout for their neglected children.
