When the happy-go-lucky Larry Crowne, played by Tom Hanks (The Da Vinci Code, Forrest Gump), finds himself edged out in a company downsizing, he sets out on a heart-warming journey to find himself and soon finds the spark of romance too. Filled with "smarts, heart and laughs," (Marshall Fine, Star) Larry Crowne arrives on Blu-rayTM, DVD and Digital Download on November 15, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Taking the loss of his job in stride, Larry decides to start over by enrolling at a local college. At school, he quickly falls in with a colorful pack of scooter-riding outcasts but it's in his public-speaking class where Larry develops an unexpected crush on his beautiful but troubled teacher Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts, Eat, Pray, Love; Erin Brockovich). Through his own determination this simple guy soon discovers that life can be better than he ever dreamed. Directed and written by Tom Hanks, Larry Crowne co-stars Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad," "Malcolm in the Middle"), Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Undercovers"), Wilmer Valderrama ("That 70s Show") Cedric the Entertainer (Cadillac Records), Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Pam Grier (Jackie Brown, "The L Word") and George Takei ("Star Trek").
