Larry Crowne

Larry Crowne stars Tom Hanks in the title role alongside Julia Roberts as the professor he meets when he goes to college after losing his job. Crowne was 9 times employee of the month until he loses his job at the U-Mart (or something like it), he goes to college as went straight from school into the Navy where he spent 20 years as a cook. He meets Mercy who is the professor teaching one of the classes he takes, as well as meeting other students and between them they change the course of his life. It's a lovely film and very funny in places, much better than the trailer suggests!
