Did anyone else see it? It came and went without much notice. I've been meaning to see (rent) it and finally did what with current events. It' set (and filmed) in New Orleans -- both poor (primarily) and rich sides of town. Very character-driven, very little happens in the movie. Good music. My kind of movie.

I had recently watched Saturday Night Fever. Remember John Travolta strutting along the streets of New York in the opening of that movie? In Love Song, Bobby is, like Travolta, in his early 50s. But Bobby drinks and has "let himself go" so he's older than his years. In the opening of Love Song, Travolta is shuffling down a street in a poor part of New Orleans. Visual dichotomy.

Color, I rented it a few months ago and thought it was a very good movie.

I really liked it as well! A very different role for John Travolta, but he was great in it.
