He loves women with large breasts, spending a lot of his day on the computer looking at nude or semi-nude photos with them, to her annoyance. His snide comment that she's jealous as a result of her having small breasts is her last straw, ordering him to get out of the car and dumping Dean.

* DirtyOldMan: {{Subverted|Trope}}. After seeing Larry and Talia together, Mercedes thinks his whole reason to go to college is to "find a gal who [[LikesOlderMen has a thing for papa bear]]."
* SustainedMisunderstanding: The next class after Miss Tainot gets the incorrect idea that Larry is a DirtyOldMan who managed to start a MayDecemberRomance with Talia, she makes him give a 2-minute pop dissertation on Interior Design. He freely admits he doesn't know a thing on the subject, but he says "[he doesn't] have to because [he knows] this girl who does" and goes to describe what he learned from watching her redecorating his place from to top to bottom. To Mercedes, however, his whole story sounds like Larry telling them how his life changed after he and Talia moved in together, simmering deeper and deeper in TranquilFury until him mentioning how she complained that his bed was too hard almost pushes her pass the RageBreakingPoint, forcing the teacher to interrupt his speech before the 90-second mark.

!! ''Larry Crowne'' has examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: TomHanks and ''StarTrek''.
* BackToSchool: Larry.
* BlandNameProduct: Larry's job in the beginning of the film is at a store called U-Mart (an obvious reference to K-Mart) and looks like your average Target.
* BuxomIsBetter as far as Mercedes' husband is concerned.
* CarryingACake: Mercedes' husband is trying to get a cheesecake home.
* DirectedByCastMember: TomHanks.
* FootFocus: Some introduction shots of JuliaRoberts's character begin with her (shoes and then) feet.
* LateForSchool: Larry and others.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: A subversion. Talia initially seems to be set up for this role, but she never becomes Larry's love interest. In fact, she turns out to be a pretty astute entrepreneur, who respects Larry's grasp of economics. Lampshaded by Mercedes and Dell, who [[WrongGenreSavvy keep expecting this trope to manifest]].
* TeacherStudentRomance: Subverted, because they wait until Larry graduates.
** Well they wait until he leaves her class and he dosen't enroll in her next one next fall to purposfully avert this.
