Review of Larry Crowne (2011) by Matthew N — 28 Apr 2012

2 stars. Remember when Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts were the king and queen of Hollywood and every movie they made was a hit? Sad to say that this film won't be amongst their best. Hanks wrote and directed this film about a man who loses his job due to a new company policy and the fact he never went to college.

He decides to not give up and heads off to community college where he takes up a course taught by Roberts. The story sounded interesting by this film goes nowhere and falls flat on so many levels. The performances are weak and there is absolutely no chemistry between the two stars.

Ashame that after two films together, they still can't get it right. Hopefully both can get past their dry spell of lackluster movies and get back to making hits again.
