Hanks and Roberts together

TOM Hanks and Julie Roberts team up in the romantic comedy Larry Crowne, in which the former, unclear on what to do with his free time, heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colourful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters.

In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.

The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, return to  action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
