this movie is an incredibly self indulgent character piece that assumes that the mere impression of a story is as good as an actual story. it was utterly painful to watch and had i not been suckered in to buy the dvd because of john travolta and the positive buzz and i would not have finished watching it. this film lacks anything resembling an interesting premise and seems to rely on weighty (and frankly and heavy handed) characterization. there is one altercation scene between purslane and bobby long in which a tv is destroyed that and when played out and is incredibly flaccid and ill timed. i found myself caring less and less about the characters as i watched it. it was probably very fun and film school wise and to make it. but it is just awfully boring to watch. a indulgent and pretentious film school project you should not waste money on.
