We've got our hands on the UK exclusive poster for Tom Hanks' new film Larry Crowne, and you can take a look at it right here

Two time Oscar-winner, Tom Hanks stars in and directs this witty rom-com, in which he reteams with his Charlie Wilson’s War co-star Julia Roberts.

Watch the trailer for Larry Crowne here.

Larry Crowne (Hanks) is an amiable Navy veteran who becomes the unfortunate victim of a failing economy when he loses his comfortable job at a big-box store. Larry decides that his best option to avoid becoming idle is to take some classes at his local community college, so he decides to enrol.

In no time, Larry befriends a colourful group of moped-obsessed outcasts on the road to self-improvement, and begins working to sharpen his communication skills in a public speaking class taught by Mercedes Tainot (Roberts). Disenchanted with her job and bored in her marriage, Mercedes has begun to feel as if she’s missing out on life. But whenever she’s with Larry, all of her problems seem to disappear. Now, just as Larry and Mercedes are feeling as if their lives have been put on hold, they both discover that fate sometimes has a way of giving us exactly what we need, at precisely the right time.

Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Pam Grier, and George Takei co-star.

This is Hanks’ second time behind the camera on a feature film after That Thing You Do wowed critics in 1996.

Tom Hanks won an Academy Award for Best Actor consecutively in 1993 for Philadelphia and in 1994 for Forrest Gump. Julia Roberts won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001 for her role in Erin Brockovich.
