Larry Crowne
Opens today at Rave, Quality 16, Showcase
Review by Jeff Meyers of the Metro Times
Grade: C

Nice, pleasant and likable Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) gets fired from his job and finds there’s little room in the marketplace for a guy who never went to college. This leads the ex-Navy cook to attend classes at the local community college, where he meets fellow student and scooter rider Nia Vardalos (who co-wrote the script). Young and carefree, she helps Larry find his hipper self and act on his hot-for-teacher longings for speech professor Julia Roberts. With little to no drama, character or substance, the movie shows us how Larry’s life gets better and love blossoms. The end. Your grandma will love it.
