Trailer Time: Larry Crowne, starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts

Remember when any movie featuring Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts was instantly at the top of everybody's must-see list? What happened? If you needed any more evidence that things ain't what they used to be, look at the lack of attention being paid to Larry Crowne, a cute looking film featuring Hanks as a middle aged guy who goes back to college and gets the hots for teacher(Roberts). Part of the reason for the lack of attention being paid to it is the release date. This is a movie that should be coming out in the spring or fall. Not going toe-to-toe with superheroes and giant robots. The other problem is that it just looks a little too fluffy and light. That doesn't bother me so much, and I think it looks like a fun movie. But it doesn't really do anything to stand out from the pack. 

A new "Internet only" trailer was released for Larry Crowne, which you can check out below...




Larry Crowne opens in theaters on July 1st. Tough weekend.

PLOT
Oscar® winners Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today’s recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne. 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.
