There’s a new poster in town for the Tom Hanks directed Larry Crowne, and while it won’t win any design awards it does advocate riding on a scooter – look at how happy they are.
I’m in.
With Roberts and Hanks fronting the film there’s a good chance this one will draw in a huge crowd, and Hanks did a decent job behind the camera with That Thing You Do so when the 1st of July rolls around we can all enjoy his scooter riding antics.
Raise your hand if you want a synopsis,
Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he’s worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband. The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.
