Larry Crowne Trailer

The alternative programming during the July 4^th 2009 holidays playing against Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for adults or adolescents with functional brain-power was Public Enemies. I know Michael Mann's period-piece-in-HD John Dillinger piece draw mixed reactions, but you can count me as one who liked it. Part of the enjoyment I'll admit was the lack of dickheadedness from older movie-goers; no cell-phones going off, talking, etc.

So two years on and Universal has another grownup-geared release playing against another Transformers; Tom Hanks' sophomore theatrical directing-foray Larry Crowne - he also co-wrote, produced and stars.

Yahoo! Movies has the trailer and it appears I'll have something else to gage my time as opposed to giant robots punching each other and exploding shit. As I said yesterday, Hanks has a skill in picking projects enticing both young and old, smart and stupid audiences and unlike Public Enemies, this could hold it's own versus Transformers 3.
