Movie Review: Larry Crowne

    Tom Hanks type cast himself as a nice guy (he also directed and co-wrote). After losing his job, he decides to go to college, where he takes a course taught by Julia Roberts. His new life includes a scooter gang, an entertaining group of classmates (the film’s strongest moments) and a romance (guess who?). While it’s sometimes mildly amusing and sufficiently entertaining, the film is never funny or touching enough to raise it above sweet. Director Hanks has cast it well, but writer Hanks just didn’t deliver.

    Gay Angle: Surprisingly, there are no evident gay characters on this college campus, but out actor George Takai has a nice part.

Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.
