Don’t get me wrong.  I hate John Travolta as much as the next guy.  That Scientology stuff has put him in the same category as Tom Cruise.  Maybe old John isn’t as much of a vocal freak, but he’s still a freak.  Anyway, I’ve not cared for most of the films he’s been in.

The girl in Blockbuster the other night recommended that I check out “A Love Song for Bobby Long” sometime.  I wasn’t dying to see anything else, so I picked it up.  I hadn’t heard about this film, and most films with popular actors that go under the radar (under my radar) aren’t  really worth seeing.  So I didn’t expect much.

The story starts slow, and there are some slow spots in the movie.  This is definitely not one of those “best movies of the year” type of films that the movie critics rave about.  But it did have (mostly) believable characters and a story that really catches your attention.  It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for a decent drama, I’d say it’s worth watching.
