Larry Crowne was a cute movie with some heart that had a special place in my heart. Having lost my job in the last year, decided to go back to school part time and selling my house I could some what connect with Larry.
As you can guess Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts were great in their respective rolls. Tom hanks made Larry believable as a guy who was down on his luck but I liked the eternal optimism and hope he made Larry have even when he was at the bottom. I could really identify with that because I felt like that at time in the last year. Julia Roberts played a great women in a unhappy marriage who finally decides to leave and move on. Neither of these parts were ground breaking oscar winning roles but they each played the character to perfection as you would expect from two great actors.
The person who stole the movie for me was George Takei as Larry's Econ professor Dr. Ed Matsutani. His maniacal laugh and pompous over top attitude made me laugh almost every time he was on screen.
Over all this was a movie about how a person can turn their life around no matter what. It also showed just because you are down on your luck doesn't mean you can't have a good out look on life and that good things can happen to you.
I recommend adding this to your Netflix cue and if you have a had a rough go at life recently maybe push it up towards the top.
