Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Mary f This movie is great for anyone who loves the nitty gritty of life in New Orleans. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review G. W Couldn't get past the horrible fake accents and the overall characters made to be a mere caricature of real people. The story might be brilliant, but the terrible acting is just too hard to swallow. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review razvan p well shot , well acted.. even if the story is meh Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s When Pursy Will (Scarlett Johansson) returns to New Orleans to administer to her late mother's estate, she finds Bobby (John Travolta), a disgraced university professor, and Lawton (Gabriel Macht), a writer who can't write, both unemployed alcoholics, living in her mother's home. It's a story of lost hope, unattainable dreams, redemption and finding some form of family within a community of strangers. On the positive side, Johansson is fantastic in the lead role, the score is excellent and the film captures the feel of the downtrodden side of New Orleans. From a negative perspective, the movie has an unrelentingly oppressive atmosphere, where the only tension comes from the anticipation of somebody cracking a smile. It's also ridiculously predictable, topped off with a performance from Travolta that gives the vibe that he isn't comfortable portraying a Southerner or a drunkard.
