Love Song For Bobby Long, A

Estranged from her mother, Pursy ( Scarlett Johansson) returns to the Family home in New Orleansfor the first time in years, only to find she has just missed her Mother's funeral.For which she is forever thankful.
But Pursy discovers that all is not quiet in her Mother's ramshackle house- there are a few unexpected occupants: Bobby Long ( John Traviolta), a washed up former literature professor with a voracious drinking habit: and his star pupil, Lawrence Pines( Gabriel Macht) also an alcoholic, who is allegedly writing a novel about Bobby.

Afraid of being thrown out on the street, Bobby tells Pursy that her mother has left the rundown house to all three of them. Reluctantly, she moves in with them and begins to re-make the house as her own, barely tolerating her unwanted roommates.
As Pursy settles into the diverse and eccentric little southern community, she begins to uncover some startling truths about her singer mother and the family she left behind.
And she even begins to warm to her Booze soaked companions. This is a sly, sexy and charming slice of bohemiana set against the steamy backdrop of The Big Easy
