Hard Luck Love Song

A modern day gritty love story inspired by acclaimed singer/songwriter Todd Snider’s seminal Americana hit, “Just Like Old Times.” , Hard Luck Love Song follows Jesse (Michael Dorman), a charismatic but down on his luck troubadour living out of cheap motels and making bad decisions. Jesse finds himself at an existential crossroads during a chance encounter with Carla (Sophia Bush), an old flame, as their complicated past and current troubles threaten to destroy their blissful reunion.

“Based on the folky country song “Just Like Old Times” by Todd Snider, the film feels like a throwback to the heyday of Austin: eclectic acoustic guitars, dingy pool halls, dive bars with fountains of whiskey, neon signs, and lots and lot of late-night tacos.” ~Austin Chronicle

“That the film proves engrossing throughout is due largely to Michael Dorman in the central role of Jesse.” ~The Hollywood Reporter
