Hmm, what to say, what to say, a blockbuster movies this doth not maketh but still good.I don't know what planet the director comes from but I bet they have free icecream and lots of soft pillows.
The story is about a man called Larry Crowne who loses his job after many many many years in work and decides to go back to college to retrain.
This movie is definetly aimed at the middle-aged audience, I mean they still have time to go to the cinema right? I would say this is the "inbetweeners movie" aimed at 50 somethings. There I said it,
Ok I get Tom Hanks did Forrest Gump and now he is acting as Larry Crowne, worth the risk to repeat the success don't ya think? Me thinks not.
The acting in the movie was great and Larry learns not to take life too seriously as he starts again as he sees it , but it has a nice cheery ending and the film leaves you uplifted, in the knowledge that some adults really do live in cloud cookoo land.
well enough about Tom Hanks, and enough about what has happened to Julia Roberts face in this movie? (his alcoholic teacher Mercedes Tainot)
The sweet thing about this movie is that the two main characters Mercedes and Larry,meet and enjoy a small spark between them as they find themselves at a stage in their lives where things could be better but they are enjoying each others company, ya know the little things!
Needless to say I will never get my money back and this movie was ok-ish but an unrealistic protrayal of tough economic times for a 50 something,
exactly how does a college graduate afford an upmarket boutique in the the best street in town just after graduation ?
I thought the part of the ending that was the most pathetic was the college grads trading in their girly pastel coloured mopeds for black Harley motorcycles, c'mon I saw at least a 1200cc among that lot.
I think the main message of this movie was that " if your life stands still enough you'll always have what you have, but it doesn't , life changes all the time "
Be prepared for change, or change will come to you.
