Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Sentimental but occasionally moving drama.
Engaging and transparent at once.
A Love Song for Bobby Long travels all the worn-out roads.
First-time director Shainee Gabel generally does a good job of moving things along, though the story feels disjointed at times.
