People like Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) are what America is all about… right? Well, maybe. Before becoming "downsized" by his employer, a big box company he has worked for since his days in the Navy, Larry Crowne was amiable, affable, and had a big sense of humor. Now he is about to lose his house because he owes more than it would sell for and he can't quite figure out what to do with his time now that he's no longer employed.Going back to school, Larry finds he is definitely not alone and in fact finds plenty more who have either lost their job or never quite had one to begin with. As they band together and travel about town in a herd of scooters, Larry discovers strong feelings for one of his teachers, Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts). With a strong cast like Hanks, Roberts, Pam Grier, Jon Seda, Bryan Cranston, and George Takei plus director Tom Hanks (also co-director with Nia Vardalos) this is a must see summer time movie."

Not having time to even explain who they actually are, the paparazzi take over and bedlam ensues. They wind up in Monte Carlo, living the glamorous life. elena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place by Disney) plays Grace who becomes mistaken for Cordelia, Katie Cassidy (Melrose Place, Gossip Girl) plays the part of Emma a high school dropout seeking something exciting, Leighton Meester (Going the Distance, Date Night) as Meg who will soon become Grace's stepsister with high aspirations for more thrills in her life.onte Carlo is similar to a couple of older films including The Lizzie McGuire Movie and a 1930's version of Monte Carlo. The movie works due to great casting and funny lines and situations the girls seem prone to create for themselves.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.
