Larry Crowne (2011)

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Tom Hanks
Cast: Tom Hanks
Time: 99 minutes

 

Larry Crowne is a middle-aged Navy vet working at a big-box store. He is a hard worker, but, since he has no college education, he loses his job. Unable to find employment, he returns to college, and a class with blasé professor Mercedes Tainot will forever change his life.

 This rom com is cute, sweet and all, but is ends up being very bland. The whole thing feels uninspired, and, in the end, it is very unsatisfying. I think Hanks is better off concentrating on the acting alone.
