Larry Crowne Second Movie Trailer. Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for the new dramatic comedy directed by Hanks. See the movie trailers, photos and movie poster for 'Larry Crowne'. The story centers on a middle-aged man (Hanks) who is being forced to find a new career. He decides to reinvent himself by enrolling in college, where he catches the eye of a female professor (Roberts).
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.
