   I just saw this movie and i went into it with low expectations because of the critc's reviews, and i must say i walked out pleased. I won't say it was perfect but it was worth a solid 8. It's hard to not like a film with Tom Hanks. I truly believe he is one of the best actors i have had the pleasure of watching. I enjoy his films. He was great in this movie, my only issues were the story was totally cliche but decent, and it got a little boring at times. Other than that though, the acting was good, and their was quite a bit of comedy in this, i laughed more in this movie than i didnt in the major letdown sequel to the hangover. This was a very enjoyable film. Definitely deserves better from the critics. 8/10… Expand

   Nice movie, almost two hours of non-boring acting and scenario. I took my wife, without any regret for bad words or actions, we left happy for the whole evening, it is nice to feel that life never stops, and there is always a start, it is never too late. A simple script about an unexpectedly fired employee Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks), down for a while he follows the advice of his neighbor Lamar (Cedric the Entertainer) and joins college. His first welcome was with Talia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) a student who finds life an entertainment and business. His classes start with professor Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts), distressed in her marriage and bored in her career. Larry Crowne finds new meaning of economics with professor Dr. Matsutani (George Takei), a role that adds smiles. Bit by bit Larry Crowne and Mercedes Tainot get closer, beyond a professor student relation. Simplistic movie, adds fun and relief, that's needed more than anything else.… Collapse

   Never before has a movie been so lifeless and pointless.
   Nothing happens in this movie, it's a meet-cute scene dragged out for seven and a half hours (however long this movie was - it felt like ten days).
   
   This movie is made for people who can't be bothered with learning plot details or focus on characterizations. This movie is literally "Tom Hanks playing what we think Tom Hanks is really like doing Tom Hanks like activities while occasionally that nice girl from the movie about that hooker shows up"
   
   It also has a manic pixie girl as a potential love interest misdirect. One you will not fall for because of the entirely not a threat boyfriend who doesn't even pose a speed bump to the plot . This is a movie for people who love all day hour long tv show marathons (like Law and Order.) You literally could come into this movie mid way through and pick up on it without knowing a single thing about it. My grandmother would have loved this movie.
   
   If you want to see a slightly more daring and enjoyable take on this please check out Will Farrel's Everything Must Go which examines a character at similar crossroads.… Expand
