Larry Crowne lacks a well-told
story,
and after about an hour you decide it barely skims on any one
subject.
The movie never finding
friction in its characters and gives the
audience a lot of scooter rides which coast you out of this.
You're
likely to leave the theater with a very different felling than
intended.
A real letdown.

When it comes to bland
romantic comedies, this one is hard to beat.
Considering the star
power, there is zero chemistry.
Plus, you have to make a
giant leap
of faith to believe ANYTHING is ever going to happen (don't worry, it
doesn't!).
Larry Crowne, downsized or
just plain fired -- his life is a
bunch of amiable outings destined to be as mediocre as this film.

This romantic comedy is
about a strong
desire fulfilled.
In this case, it's the
reason that there can be
better days ahead after losing a wife, a job, and a house.
This flick
was planned for adult summer season entertainment.
The romantic look
of the tale relates to two decent people being careful with the way
of their relationship.
This is part of a larger
picture.
The star then
takes hold of his runaway life and regains control.
The film is
predictable, but the movie has heart and offers winning performances
from two Academy Award luminaries, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.
