    5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie. Not a comedy, or a tragedy, or a romance. Or a war movie. Or a western. Or a Matrix sequel.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Ok, we are all grateful about it not being another Matrix sequel, right? I mean, did anyone understand that last one? I stayed after the credits hoping that a final scene would make sense of the preceding 90 minutes, but that just didn't happen.

    So. Back to Larry Crowne. This movie may not appeal to you if you've never been screwed over by incompetent and/or brutish managers. Or if you have never had to walk away from a major purchase, like a house or a car. Or if you have never had to start your education all over again at a college where everyone around you looks like their 12. Or if you liked any of the Anchorman movies. Seriously. What, there are like two sequels to that now? Three? Who is watching those movies? I mean, besides people on planes that (apparently) have no parachutes. On the other hand, The Other Guys which also starred Will Ferrell made me laugh so hard I inhaled my popcorn. But just at the part where they talked about lions and tunas. The rest was embarrassingly puerile and I refused to admit that I liked the movie to anyone because of it. Well, except for this review. And the people on my commute in the morning. Also, the people in line at the last Marvel movie. Except for those people, and this review, I have never admitted it to anyone. And if you see it, you have my permission to also hide the fact that there were parts that had you stifling loud guffaws.

    Moving on.

    --- Semi weakish spoiler alerts ---

    Larry Crowne was unrealistic in that hot chicks just don't take over the lives of middle-aged men even if they both attend the same community college (take over in a non-sexual way, for all of you out there thinking perv-y thoughts - and you know who you are). However, this movie makes you think that they could. Or that they should. Or something. I am a not-so-young woman, and I still think that maybe they should after seeing this movie. It would do them both some good, I say.

    On the other hand, this movie was realistic in that there are a lot of downsizing nowadays, a lot of realistic budgeting that may or may not include moving out of one's house, and a lot of rewriting of one's education so that one can realistically become employed again. All of that reality makes one think. And forcing one to think is a moral imperative for a movie that doesn't involve CGI or Mel Gibson's bare bottom, the early years.

    After seeing this (or what the heck, before seeing this, whichever is your preference), I also recommend The Answer Man with Jeff Daniels. Normally, I think the use of swear words is a cheat in movies. They say to me "Hey, let's not go to the effort of creating dialog to indicate that this character is street savvy and / or a rebel, let's just have them say f-bomb a lot." But in The Answer Man, there is an actual point to swear word usage and it was rather cleverly done. My mother, who will turn off movies if there is too much swearing, enjoyed The Answer Man greatly, so... I like it, and my mom liked it. Thus, by the transitive rule of mom-always-knows-best, you'll like it too. And Larry Crowne, as well. This movie here, that I am reviewing. Both. That one and this one. Or either. Also, the Lion-Tuna scene in The Other Guys. That as well. But not the rest of the movie. Although there are bits and pieces here and there, so maybe you might want to watch it and just fast forward when it comes to parts that would make even a 13 year old boy wretch. Yes. Those two movies, and that scene. And then the rest of that movie, minus the blech.

    You should probably write all of this down before you forget it. Otherwise, you might have to read this review again. And frankly, I don't think either one of us could take it if you had to read it again. Seriously. I am openly weeping.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love Larry Crowne
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Everytime I think Tom Hanks just cannot be everyman and be THAT GREAT of an actor (because I do remember the Money Pit and Joe Vs the Volcano), and yet!!!! I love everything about this movie. I was laid off from my good paying job and had to take a much lower paying job a few months before this movie came out. So I recognize the desperation and the heartbreak of changing a life and lifestyle you thought was the bedrock of your existence. Tom Hanks plays that convincingly. I love how Larry loves his job and has such a bright outlook on life and even though he suffered a brief bout of self pity and depression, he rallied and started over. Starting over is SCARY. The first time I watched it I thought Julia Roberts was such a downer, and I realized she had her own bedrock cracked (by her career and husband choices) she just needed Larry to come in to her life and show her how to embrace the starting over. I loved Gugu Mbatha Raw as Talia. She is a ray of bright energy that you cannot but help loving. I loved Wilmer Valderama, patience of a saint-like being. Cedric the Entertainer and Taraji P Hall were excellent if eccentric neighbors, and all the other supporting characters were spot on. I watched Hanks in The Terminal and Cast Away. This man can act opposite a turnip (think soccer ball) and make you root for him every time. I cannot look away from his performances. Always very nuanced and never flashy or overacted. Tom Hanks for PRESIDENT!!! Well, him or Meryl Streep (anyone see Mama Mia and Julie and Julia and The Iron Lady ? She can do anything too)!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the critics say
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Quite why the critics slated this, is probably because they didn't get it. I wasn't sure myself until I watched it a second time. And maybe that's the trick.
    The acting as you would expect from Hanks and Roberts, is first class, but credit too to the supporting cast. They played it perfectly.
    The bottom line is that this is a story of second chances, and perhaps one of observing all that surrounds you when you start over again in your mid-life. And if you don't know what I mean by that, ask someone who went back to college ten or more years after they left it, and preferably someone who has a failed marriage behind them too.
    As for the closing sequence, maybe that could have been different, but don't get hung up on it. It's just two middle-aged people reliving their school days and in that, the movie is near perfect.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quirky movie full of wisdom
    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    It's 2022 and this is my first time watching this movie. Somehow this movie never entered my radar until now. Movies nowadays are either steering very closely to NC-17 or just plain a waste of one's life to watch. This movie has a little bit of everything with a great cast. The story line brings to light the realities of life that each of us may have experienced to some degree at one time or another. Sometimes life doesn't go as you planned and everything seems to fall apart all at once. Though if you're a good person life has a way of shaking things up, coming full circle, and bringing you closer to the kind of life you really deserve.

    Everything about this movie is so soft and gentle and laid back. However, it demonstrates a man going about changing his life with tons of grit, and at the same time being easygoing about it. Loved the humour and the acting. Even the smaller roles are interesting and funny. Simply loved it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un film qui met de bonne humeur
    Reviewed in France on April 19, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    C’est tout simplement la bonne surprise de l’année 2011. Deuxième film réalisé par Tom HANKS, qui tient également le rôle masculin principal, il en est également le producteur et en assure le scénario avec une autre actrice du grand écran, Nia VARDALOS, principalement connue pour son rôle principal dans « Mariage à la Grecque » sorti en 2002, ainsi que sa suite « Mariage à la Grecque 2 » sorti en 2016, qu’elle scénarisait également. Voici un film pétillant, sans prétention aucune, plein de bonne humeur et réellement enthousiasmant à regarder, qui apporte du baume au cœur.
    Ce long métrage a beau être une comédie, il traite de sujets sérieux. En effet, le personnage joué par Tom HANKS doit affronter le chômage, son divorce récent ainsi qu’un prêt immobilier à rembourser, qui sont des expériences très difficiles. L’histoire est simple, décrite de façon humaine et touchante, tous les personnages sont sympathiques et très détaillés psychologiquement, on suit leur évolution au fur et à mesure avec grand plaisir, l’humour développé est fin et intelligent, les séquences sont menées sur un rythme très fluide, qui fait que l’on ne s’ennuie pas une seconde. Le ton assumé est résolument positif et optimiste, porté vers l’espoir, qui incite à ne pas abandonner face à des situations critiques et à savoir rebondir ensuite.
    Bien sûr, Il faut le prendre comme il est, il y a quelques petits défauts inhérents au genre, aussi il convient de se faire sa propre opinion sur ce film, sans tenir compte des critiques, parfois trop cyniques, qui adorent laminer ce genre de production. Je conseille de passer leur chemin aux personnes qui recherchent le réalisme à tout prix, criant de vérité, il faudra qu’ils se tournent vers un film dramatique, pour avoir une approche beaucoup plus âpre de la situation.
    Larry Crowne, se retrouve soudainement licencié de l’enseigne Umart, après des années de bons et loyaux services, sous un motif fallacieux. Après avoir difficilement encaisser la nouvelle, il décide d’étudier à l’université les sciences économiques et l’expression orale. Durant ce derniers cours, il fait la connaissance de son professeur, Mercedes Tainot. Belle et intelligente, elle est également cynique et complétement blasée et n’attend rien de spécial de ses étudiants. Elle rencontre également des problèmes dans sa vie personnelle avec un mari qui vit à ses crochets. Pourront-ils construire quelque chose ensemble ?
    Ce film possède un casting haut de gamme, avec deux stars confirmées.
    Tom HANKS incarne Larry CROWNE à la perfection. Après s’être fait viré comme un malpropre, il revient suivre des cours à la fac et fait de nouvelles rencontres, qui vont le transformer. L’acteur, qui affiche ici plusieurs casquettes, nous offre une belle leçon de vie, à travers son personnage, qui cherche à remonter la pente, après avoir été mis KO sans ménagement. Il reste pourtant fidèle à lui-même en étant intègre, sympathique et attachant.
    Julia ROBERTS interprète Mercedes Tainot. Professeur d’expression orale, elle est complétement désabusée aussi bien dans sa vie professionnelle, car elle ne compte sur aucun étudiant pour relever le niveau, que dans sa vie personnelle, où le comportement de son mari la déçoit tous les jours. L’actrice s’offre une belle performance, à travers cette femme en pleine crise, alcoolique à ses heures perdues et dégoutée par la fainéantise de son mari.
    On retrouve également une galerie très riche de seconds rôles, absolument fabuleuse, qui donne tout son sel à la description de leurs personnages.
    Bryan CRANSTON interprète Dean, il est excellent en mari looser, obsédé et paresseux, qui se fait entretenir par sa femme qui travaille ; l’acteur est à mille lieux de ses personnages précédents à la télévision, que ce soit le père de famille Hal dans la série comique « Malcolm » ou bien encore le trafiquant de drogue Walter White dans la série dramatique « Breaking Bad ».
    George TAKEI interprète le Docteur Matsutani, il est fabuleux en professeur d’économie complétement barré et affiche tout son humour, il fallait bien un des acteurs légendaires de « Star Trek » pour incarner cet homme très intelligent, mais tellement singulier. Merci Monsieur Sulu.
    Gugu MBATHA-RAW incarne Talia, celle qui fera connaitre à Larry tout un nouveau monde. Elle affiche toute sa fraicheur, afin de moderniser ce gentil quadra et lui présente ses amis motards. Capable de jouer dans tous les répertoires, elle trouvera quelques années plus tard, un rôle dramatique à la hauteur de son talent, en interprétant le personnage d'Esme, jeune femme ayant survécu à la suite d'une tuerie dans un lycée, dans l'excellent film dramatique « Miss Sloane » avec Jessica CHASTAIN, sorti en France en 2017.
    Wilmer VALDERRAMA joue le rôle de Dell, le petit ami de Talia. Motard très respectueux des amis de sa compagne, il affiche quand même une légère jalousie quand il s’agit de Larry. L’ex Fez de la série comique « That ‘70s Show » a bien grandi depuis son rôle d’adolescent, on le retrouve ici en latin lover.
    Taraji P. HENSON joue le rôle de B’ella, toujours en train de tenir une brocante permanente avec son mari, d’humeur pourtant positive, elle n’hésite pas à râler quand il le faut. On ne la voit pas assez dans le film et c’est vraiment dommage. Elle continue de se diversifier, bien avant ses rôles dramatiques, tenus dans les séries « Person Of Interest » et « Empire » qui lui apporteront succès populaire et succès critique, avant d’être consacrée par son rôle de mathématicienne afro-américaine, dans l'excellent film dramatique « Les Figures de l’Ombre », sorti en 2017.
    Rami MALEK incarne le sympathique Steve Dibiasi, personnage assez fantasque, mais quand même drôle. On retrouvera le comédien quelques années plus tard, en 2015, dans la série « Mr Robot » où il démontrera tout son talent d’acteur dramatique.
    Côté technique, le Blu Ray propose une image sublime, digne du support HD. Les couleurs sont belles et lumineuses, les détails sont très riches et le contraste est bien rendu. Le son s’en tire très bien lui aussi, bénéficiant d’un très bon mixage qui sait très bien équilibrer la musique et les dialogues, ces derniers étant aussi qualitatifs en Version Française qu’en VOST, chose rare à souligner.
    Au niveau des bonus, ils viennent prendre place agréablement sur la galette. On retrouve un Making Of, des scènes coupées, l’ambiance sur le tournage et une bande annonce. C’est peu, mais ils ont le mérite d’exister.
    En clair, ce n’est certes pas le film du siècle, mais ce n’est pas le but recherché. Il a le mérite de donner le sourire, d’être rafraichissant, drôle et léger, il fait clairement du bien en le regardant. Porté par un casting détonnant, qui fait rayonner encore plus le propos de ce long métrage, certes classique, mais ô combien réjouissant. Une vraie petite perle.
