I cant even bring myself to explain why this film is so bad. It has just drained me.
An all star cast cant enliven this lazy script. What a waste of 90mins.

I did not intend on watching this film at the cinema at all but as I went through the listing I realised it was the last showing available so it was an "oh well we'll watch that then" situation.
I am SO glad that I did. The easiest way I can describe this film is the surprise film of the year for me. I go to the cinema Every week as I like to keep up with the latest movies and it Isn't often at all that a film so poorly advertised could turn out to be so good.
The surprise actor of this film is the young girl who plays the character Talia. She was a revelation and added such a great tone to the film. Tom Hanks yet again performing in a great role with some other brilliant actors. I can see why some people might not like this film because it Isn't Tom Hanks shouting "Wilson!" or "Life is like a box of chocolates." People do not realise that it doesn't need to be a huge film to be extremely enjoyable and light hearted.
The humour of this film was just ideal, obviously it wasn't Hangover laugh out loud funny, but it was enough to keep me and the girlfriend smiling throughout the film.
I Would recommend this to any big film watchers, and hopefully it will surprise you as much as it did me!

***This review is for the movie only ***
Larry Crowne, written and directed by Tom Hanks, is a film that is never going to win any oscars, or any accolades whatsoever but its ok.
Its not terrible, and its not fantastic but is ok, i think that's the nicest way i can put it.
Tom who obviously needs to be taken seriously as a director needs to stop casting himself in the lead roles and stop with the blatant use of nepotism as who really needs to see his wife in every film that he does ? Not me.
I agree with another reviewer when he says that someone else should of been cast in the lead role. The chemistry between Tom and Julia was non existent and to be honest i found it very hard to believe, but then i also didnt see the connection between Julia and Bryan Cranston who plays her husband either.
All of them very good actors but struggling with what they were given.
Personally i would of maybe cast someone more charismatic in the role as Larry, maybe someone like Hugh Jackman who could of totally pulled it off.
Anyway even with all these negatives, its a sweet film, some great supporting actors, and in my opinion a perfect Sunday afternoon movie..

the worst Hanks ever
The worst film by Tom Hanks I have ever seen, by far. Clint Eastwood made a spectacularly successful shift from acting to directing, but Hanks, so far, did not. Read more

Larry Crowne
Julia Roberts is my favourite actress and Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors. I have enjoyed all their films and for the most part, I would rate those before with a 4 or 5. Read more

SHAME ON YOU, TOM HANKS!!
Simply woeful. Hanks' worst movie ever - don't go there! My only surprise was that I reached the end of the film.

Beautiful and touching
The two characters in Larry Crowne - played by Tom Hanks (Larry) and Julia Roberts (Mercedes) - carry off a beautifully subtle and touching romantic comedy. Read more

Well, as a life long Tom Hanks fan I was horribly let down by a truly dull film.
The premise is pretty good and just up my street, but I'd heard some pretty ropey... Read more

I was either in a very good mood, came with no expectations at all, or just took in the sheer implausibility of the whole exercise; whichever it was I quite liked this second... Read more
