Purslane Hominy Will (Scarlett Johansson) is surprised to hear about her mother Lorraine's death. She misses her funeral. She returns to New Orleans to find former professor Bobby Long (John Travolta) and Lawson Pines (Gabriel Macht) living in her mother's house. Bobby tells her that her mother left the house to all three of them. She decides to stay in the house. Georgianna (Deborah Kara Unger) is the bartender.This is a long meandering aimless movie like a leisurely lazy summer day. Travalto is acting for all his worth to be a faded drunk. Johnansson outshines everybody. She's not only holding her own against Travalto. At an early age, she shows that she's becoming a true movie star. It's got some good Southern moodiness but the story has no drive.

a delicate picture from South. the atmosphere, the story, the acting - all is splendid. and must see it not for actors or for the reviews but for taste of a special experience who remind memories, choices, errors of each of us. game of nuances, convincing, show of vulnerabilities and masks, transformations and decisions, a little Tennesee Williams and Steinbeck, it is a gentle lesson about real essence of freedom.Scarlett Johansson shines in her role and the light is a kind of rainbow. John Travolta remembers his great and powerful potential. a film who presents slices of a state of soul. and its virtue is not the art to do a realistic/touching picture but to seem be an experience for viewer. that is all. so, it is a not bad idea to see it. as a story who can speak about yourself.

When I first selected this film on the Encore package I knew it would be a good one because John Travolta has emerged as one of the great actors of our time. He has come a long way since his dancing days in 'Saturday Night Fevor.' I was not disappointed, as the entire cast was outstanding and the screenplay writer put up one out of the south as it is today.The music was terrific and, although the film may be slow to some, why don't you watch a movie with an aging Bruce Willis or Sylvestor Stallone trying to act like a stud? Clint Estwood as least acts his age, ex's: 'Heartbreak Ridge' and 'Gran Torino.' Travolta was made up to look older; no problem, I am 71 and I don't care if people think I'm old.At first, I thought the film was set in Mississippi, the 'fattest' state in the USA. Let me reiterate, I have been to every state and most countries and no people are kinder than Missippippi's or Louisiananites. If fat people are jolly and caring, I'd like to live there in a New York minute. The food is great! Is the 'Cock of the Walk' restaurant near Jackson still operating? That was a great experience; also, riding on 'Desire' and sitting in the back of the bus in Jackson, a white guy in a grey flannel suit.

Just saw it on TV. Great, great movie.It makes me want to read the book.It is an absolute shame that it did not receive the publicity it needed and not be shown in all the big theaters.Also, in my opinion, it has a silly, unappealing title. Should have stuck to the title of the book.I hope it will get renewed interest now that it is showing on television.If it does get a second life, maybe the actors will not feel the disappointment they must have when it did not do so well in the past.
