Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today's recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne. Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he's worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful 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 simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.

(Music)
Poland
KROKE (which means Krakow in Yiddish) was formed in 1992 by three friends, graduates of Krakow Academy of Music: Jerzy Bawol (accordion), Tomasz Kukurba (viola) and Tomasz Lato (double bass). The group members completed all stages of standard music education, including jazz and modern music. KROKE began to play music which was deeply set in Jewish tradition, and strongly influenced by Balkan music, to enrich it later on with Oriental and Indian sounds, elements of jazz and world music, creating their own characteristic style. Initially, KROKE performed only in clubs and galleries situated in Kazimierz, a former Jewish district of Krakow. While performing at the Ariel gallery they were noticed by Steven Spielberg who at that time was shooting in Krakow Schindler's List. Spielberg invited them to Jerusalem, where he was shooting the last scenes. The group gave a concert at Survivors Reunion for those of the Oskar Schindler's list who survived the war. KROKE has also recorded albums with Nigel Kennedy (East meet East).

About KROKE
KROKE is primarily known as a klezmer band though most of their music is their own original style. In the beginning, the band was strongly influenced by Jewish tradition and Balkan music. As the band developed, KROKE began to enrich their music with Oriental, Indian, and jazz sounds, establishing their own style of music. KROKE was formed in 1992 by three friends, Jerzy Bowol playing the accordion, Tomasz Kukurba playing the viola, and Tomasz Lato playing the double bass. The three musicians all graduated from the Krakow Academy of Music. The band initially began performing in clubs and galleries in the Jewish district of Krakow, Kazimierz. While performing in Krakow they were noticed by Stephen Spielberg during his shooting of Schindler’s List. Spielberg invited them to perform in Jerusalem where KROKE performed a concert at the Survivors Reunion for the surviving members of Oskar Schindler’s list. The band’s unique style and creativity earned them great popularity throughout Poland and Europe. In 2000, they received the German Records Award. In 2001, KROKE was nominated for the BBC 3 Radio Award in the World Music category. Today, they continue to share their beautiful music worldwide.
