I don't actually know where the locations for this movie were shot, but I am guessing some of them took place in upstate New York.<br /><br />If anyone connected with LBS is still keeping tabs on this post (which was written over three years ago but still seems to get a lot of mileage), please post a comment to let Bob know where those "country scenes" were filmed. Thanks!TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-23903968972781639062013-07-24T23:26:49.104-04:002013-07-24T23:26:49.104-04:00I had the great pleasure and opportunity to view t...I had the great pleasure and opportunity to view this wonderful movie "Lbs." on channel 13 a local PBS station here in NYC, NY.<br /><br />What a great story with real characters and actors who truly "bring to life", the people and story they so earnestly portray. <br /><br />This refreshing movie is an enormous departure from "the same old Hollywood movies, genres' and scripts which are horribly type cast, dull and often times down right, terrible.<br /><br />This movie "LBS." and others such as, "The Station Agent" are tremndously heartfelt with great actors proving once again you don't have to be a super star to be a great talent. This cast won me over from the beginning to the very end.<br /><br />I felt a connection to each and every character and wanted so much to watch it again.<br /><br />This was a fantastic movie, with a terrific story line / plot and well worth watching from beginning to end.<br /><br />Well done and very much appreciated. <br /><br />I give it 5 out of 5 Stars *****<br /><br />PS: Could you tell me where the country scenes were shot...look's like Sussex County, NJ or possibly up state New York? Would love to know.<br /><br />Thanks so much!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Bob<br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-66155326475239174492013-05-28T23:42:27.387-04:002013-05-28T23:42:27.387-04:00Thanks for posting your comment, John.

These take so long to set up and then do (and even longer to transcribe, as I am the world's worst and slowest typist). So hearing your comment makes me very happy! (I am also glad that the film is now on Netflix streaming, where it should find a much larger and appreciative audience.)TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-24368601973947648632012-06-18T12:34:49.901-04:002012-06-18T12:34:49.901-04:00Thanks, Anonymous, for your interesting and though...Thanks, Anonymous, for your interesting and thought-provoking comment. Maybe you're right. I am now so used to this sort of language in films that I don't give it a second thought, but for some, the f-word still riles, I guess. Seem to me that the positives regarding the content of the movie far outstrip any negatives to do with bad language. But this may not be true for a lot of people, especially, as you say, the women in the audience. But it's a shame that, because of "just a word," they might deprive themselves of a movie this different and good.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-91044329264689882812012-06-18T01:16:50.494-04:002012-06-18T01:16:50.494-04:00I just saw the movie through Netflix streaming and...I just saw the movie through Netflix streaming and found it poignant and sincere.

It's just my opinion, but I think the target audience for this movie would be women since it seems we're always on a diet and watching shows like The Biggest Loser, but I don't want to hear crude language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-18204702222497568962012-06-05T18:25:31.282-04:002012-06-05T18:25:31.282-04:00Oh -- and Susan (above) I just realized that the m...Oh -- and Susan (above) I just realized that the mother's name appeared wrong TWICE in the post.
