Larry Crowne Ratings & Reviews
TheWrap
Leah Rozen
An exceedingly minor entry on already impressive resums.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
To pluck romantic comedy from the jaws of a social crisis is a laudable project, worthy of Preston Sturges, and it's a pity that this featherlight drama-written by Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos, and directed by Hanks himself-should falter in its task.
IndieWire
Leonard Maltin
...it's an old-fashioned star vehicle, fashioned for the particular screen personas of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts by Hanks himself, who directed the film and wrote the screenplay with Nia Vardalos. You may recall that he produced her breakthrough film...
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The problem is the movie only waltzes in the real world while it tangos and rumbas in the realm of the fantastic and superficial.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Larry Crowne is more than a missed opportunity. It's alarmingly, depressingly out of touch.
Observer
Rex Reed
Even if you wander into this congealed mess with nothing more demanding in mind than to spend a little time with two charming favorites, do not expect Forrest Gump or Pretty Woman.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Neither fish nor fowl, Larry Crowne skitters between pathos and shtick, wasting abundant acting talent as it goes.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
When it comes to unemployment-themed cinema, I'll take the greater realism of last year's The Company Men or this year's Everything Must Go over Hanks's too rosy vision of life after the pink slip.
Dig Boston
Monica Castillo
What a pleasant, easy-going experience that was.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The film is sometimes gentle to the point of blandness, but it's never flimsy.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Neither the relationship of the two leads, nor any encounter between any of the film's other humans, seems to proceed according to the emotional or sociological customs of our culture.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Larry Crowne doesn't come close to providing the rom-com satisfactions of films attached to the names Hanks and Roberts, or writer Nia Vardalos for that matter.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is film as comfort food, and even if it has very little nutritional value, its pleasantly bland texture will help keep you occupied until your next job interview or layoff notice.

Leonard Maltin
If you like, you can think of Larry Crowne as the anti-Transformers. It's the opposite of an Event Movie for the summer season; instead, it's an old-fashioned star vehicle, fashioned for the particular screen personas of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts by...
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It's enough that these two castaways are friends, but I guess friendship doesn't cut it when you're trying to create a star-driven hit. It should, though. Better a believable friendship than an unbelievable love affair.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
It's a movie about starting over when you're past your prime, a message that must also be an analogy for its aging stars. But it only proves that some stars should just bow out when they have nothing else going for them.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Both Hanks and Vardalos tend toward slack, low-conflict storytelling, and the convergence of their sensibilities is an almost somnolent series of anecdotes in search of a story.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
You wonder who thought any of this was funny.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
As romantic comedies go, "Larry Crowne" is neither swooningly romantic nor howlingly funny.
