Larry Crowne - the crowne with an letter e!This is one interesting line that I had remembered how Larry Crowne wants others to know his name.
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today's recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne.
Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he's worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over.
There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.
The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.
Personal Rating:
3.8 out of 5
Watch it! It's defnitely an awesome movie for the month or even for the year! For those, who are like me, lost my "sense" of direction yet this movie has re-defined the importance of everyone in his life! We might even be in Larry Crowne 's role when our life is at 40s.
