Larry Crowne

A Navy veteran, Larry Crowne is a star employee at U-mart, and has grabbed nine consecutive ‘employee of the month awards’, for his flawless performance at work.

Despite his outstanding conferral at the big-box store, the arduous, middle-aged guy is fired from his job. His only fault - he has never been to college. Thus, seeking a new trajectory to chase over, the man enrolls himself into the local community college, and life is all set to bestow him, a whole lot of exquisite surprises. The smart, charming Larry gets to see a silver lining around the clouds, as he befriends a group of deportees riding motor scooters, who race through the streets at nights. Life becomes meaningful for the guy, as he bags pails full of ecstasy all around. The style-challenged ex-clerk is well received by an interesting bunch of students, headed by a free-spirited, pretty girl Talia, who takes not much time to work on the grisly appearance of the guy and proffers him a ‘twenty-plus’ killer look.

Thus, within a couple of weeks, the joker of the class takes the avatar of the hero, to the surprise of all. A romantic thread is weaved into the enchanting tale, when Larry finds his love interest in Ms. Mercedes Tainot, an exasperated professor, who is trying to keep her marriage from breaking up. Larry’s real affection for the class-instructor ends up winning over the interest of the disinterested lady, and thus opens up a teacher-student romance, bestowing a new angle to the movie.
