It is difficult for many films to make three central characters believable or interesting and it is nigh on...
Emilio Estevez, 2006) I had heard the news upon its theatrical release that this was a NASHVILLE remake - relocated to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles with the RFK assassination the backdrop to a convoluted mishmash of over 20 cliched '60s stereotypes.

The most hopeful plotline concerns a marriage about to be, between William (Elijah Wood) and Diane (Lindsay Lohan, who is very good here).
Scene by scene, the film is frequently commendable, even excellent.
The films most effective moments however

The Altman derived framework doesn't disguise the awful screenplay with ham-fisted base dialogue like Nick Cannon playing an insufferably idealistic Kennedy staffer emoting "now that Dr. King is gone - no one left but Bobby.

All in all, I think it was an excellent movie.

Hopefully word of mouth can help promote this excellent film on DVD.

First, it must be noted that the movie looks fabulous.

Estevez wastes valuable story time by including a tedious sequence that involves Jackson and LeBeouf tripping on LSD....Unfortunately, many of the characters played by actors in "Bobby" aren't that interesting either..... ... Full Review
