Viktor Navorski has great performance as he did in "The Terminal"! In the Pixar animated film, Tom Hanks capable of blowing the life of the toy cowboy named Woody, as a result we not only see a toy that could talk but also capable of communicating with the audience. This time Hanks not only involved as the main character, a middle-aged man who had just been fired and then found love, but also directed their own films. "Larry's Holiday" was actually not the first experience in directing a film Hanks, debut begins with "That Thing You Do!" In 1996. But Hanks had in fact been sitting on the bench director before that, in 1992 he directed a television series, "Tales from the Crypt", in the episode "None But the Lonely Heart". In "Larry Crowne", Hanks also was reunited with Oscar-winning actress, Julia Roberts, who had previously seen a duet in Charlie Wilson's War (2007). So how does the action of the "Forrest Gump" is in front of the camera and behind the scenes at the same time, as a director?
Although seen pushing a shopping cart and in the shopping area, Hanks was not a sequel Viktor Navorski in The Terminal, but a middle-aged man named Larry Crowne. But today is different; Larry was called to the board room, though unworthy also called the room, not to once again be recognized as the best employee to-10 time but to get fired. Because Larry had never tasted college, employers use the excuse to let him go. Once divorced and living alone with a pile of debt, the more severe Larry lived alone since the difficulty of finding a new job. Until finally a friend and neighbor, Lamar (Cedric the Entertainer) advised her to go to a local university. Larry went back to college for the first time, took the economy class and another, a unique class of learning how to make a speech. His new life as a college student could say fun, make new friends who invited him to join the scooter community, and met with teachers who caught his attention, Mercedes (Julia Roberts).
Talking about the usual story, the squiggle Hanks and Vardalos admittedly did not offer anything new, plus the plot is also presented with a flat pass. Then when "Larry Crowne" enter any phase of conflict, this film is still too flat, not too shake the emotional side of the audience, arguably less familiar in inviting us to share experience, may feel sympathetic enough to Larry, it was because of the unfortunate fate. Actually to say I care about is the usual story of the film is also not entirely true, but it should be, I still hope it could be better than this. My concern focuses on how the usual story, "Larry Crowne" still capable of entertaining the audience, well the film is still able to perform fun with all its shortcomings.
Seemed to resist his charisma difficult Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in a movie, when they duet in a movie, it's definitely more to add curiosity and attraction to see "Larry Crowne" would be even greater. Although in the end the two stars that are equally never won an Oscar is not so "well" in the matter of establishing its chemistry. But their relationship is still arguably remains sweet and inviting smile at the same time of course laughter. Since this was not the first romantic comedy film nuanced for Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks, both can look good, can always tempt us to laugh out loud, especially the dialogues are attached to each scene. Cedric the Entertainer who is a comedian even steal the show here, although portions are not too much, but its emergence is placed at the right time. Well "Larry Crowne 'is not a romantic comedy that could steal the heart to be special, but as an entertainment, this film can still be regarded as a pleasing film. With the jokes are pretty clever and fresh, it will be guaranteed boredom away and the audience will laugh from beginning to end, the film to be missed.
