Film trailer: 'Larry Crowne' with Hanks and Roberts

(Universal Pictures)

The first movie trailer for Larry Crowne, a romantic comedy directed by and starring Tom Hanks, reunites the actor with Julia Roberts ( Charlie Wilson's War).

The footage shows the story of a middle-aged man whose simple world gets complicated when he is suddenly downsized from his job as a clerk in a big-box store and returns to college to reinvent himself.

Harkening a bit back to his role as Forrest Gump, Larry travels around on a scooter and falls for his instructor, played by Roberts, whose attitude is reawakened by him.

Written by Hanks and Nia Vardalos ( My Big Fat Greek Wedding), the cast includes Emmy winner Bryan Cranston ( Breaking Bad), Taraji P. Henson ( Date Night), Pam Grier, Cedric the Entertainer, George Takei, Rita Wilson and singer Jon Seda.

Larry Crowne will be released this summer on July 1, the same weekend as Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
