Movie Review: Larry Crowne

Larry Crowne
Starring Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts
Written by Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos
Directed by Tom Hanks

Story: Larry Crowne is fired from his shit job at U-Mart, because he never went to college. He goes back to school, so he can find a new job.

Review: I really don't want to write a review for this. Watch the preview and you have probably guessed how this god awful pile of shit ends. It's pretty bad all the way through, but the jump off point was when his former boss ends up delivering pizza to him later in the movie. Not only is this a horrible clichéd storyline, but he ordered two 16" pizzas, two sides and had it delivered for $16.50. BULLSHIT! Then to top it off he was only going to tip a buck and change. What an asshole. At least Julia Roberts tips well to her pizza guy, but he is a total loser that blows his load on her doorstep.

Comparable Movies: My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes to mind, because of Nia Vardalos. It's another feel good movie that I couldn't stand.

Rating: * out of 5

If you do end up seeing this, be ready to here the word "spectacular" about thirty or forty times.

May the Force be with you,
CHUD
