Larry Crowne take pride in his job. He is hoping to be promoted one day. However, when he is called to the office and is fired instead of promoted his life turns upside down. Larry decides that he is going to go back to school. Little did he know that in doing so his life would be turned even more topsy turvy, but for the better.
I have to say.... how lack luster this movie was. I was so looking forward to seeing Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in the same movie together but really it wasn't that grand of a picture. It's an easy movie to watch and there are a lot of well known actors in the film. Yet, the film seemed to lack a real personal connection between the two main characters of Hanks and Roberts. Also, the movie was about a gang of motor scooter enthusiasts. I thought it was motor cycles but it wasn't.... it was motor scooters....
If the whole move did not have the love interest, and basically cut out Julia Roberts part all together, I think it would have been a very sweet and funny film. I think the whole love story really slowed down the movie. They finally seemed to get a groove with each other when Robert's character finally did something other than sulk. Which really didn't happen until the end of the film.
It's a cute film but its really not something I would recommend to someone wanting to watch a Tom Hanks film.
