Larry Crowne

Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a
superstar team leader at the big-box company where he's worked since
his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what
to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to
start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts,
also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for
themselves...often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his
public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his
teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for
teaching as she has for her husband. The simple guy who has every
reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected
lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you
just might discover your reason to live.
