giveaway

Knitting is awesome, as everyone from your grandmother to Julia Roberts knows.  While filming Larry Crowne, Tom Hanks played a pretty darn cute practical joke on Julia Roberts:




That's a lot of newbie knitters! Julia Roberts looks genuinely pleased, doesn't she? I've always loved Tom Hanks as bookstore mogul Joe Fox in You've Got Mail, opposite the ever-adorable Meg Ryan.
The folks behind Larry Crowne have generously offered a prize! Want to see the movie?


One (1) winner will receive:
·         $25 Fandango Gift Card to see Larry Crowne
·         Larry Crowne t-shirt and notebook

Prizing courtesy of Universal Pictures
Giveaway is open to US and Canadian mailing addresses only

 To enter, leave a comment by this Friday (7/15). I'll draw a winner on Saturday morning!

Love this! She's such a good sport. I was pleased to see that she knits like I do (throws the yarn) :)

That is so precious! What a way for everyone to come together. Also a great way for me to start my day with my coffee, some yarn, and a smile.

Jennifer said...

Oh this is absolutely fabulous! I love the look on Julia Roberts face. What a great prank.

Jodi said...

How fun! What an awesome giveaway. I've been wanting to see this movie too.

Samantha said...

It doesn't look like too many of them actually picked up on how to knit, but what a cute setup.

CelticCastOn said...

heheh he is so great!
Julia`s laugh makes me smile every time I hear it!

Elisa said...

i heard about this prank; i'm so glad they taped it! Gotta love Tom Hanks!

Nutmeg said...

What a great video! I knew there was a reason I liked both of them!

Meghan said...

I really liked his character in You've Got Mail too. And he and Meg Ryan had screen chemistry. I really like Julia Roberts too and bet they would make a good combination.

Rue said...

What a fabulous video! I especially liked the guy who got himself all tangled up in the yarn. That takes effort!

elizabeth said...

That's so cute! I'd heard about it, but not watched the video. I love your new blog look, btw!

Tammy M said...

So funny! Another reason to love Tom & Julia! Thanks for the oppotunity for the give-away!

Shirley said...

Now when I knit I will picture Tom Hanks with needles in his hand.

Rose said...

I'd love to win free tickets! My mom saw the movie last weekend and loved it, so I'd love to go too!

Claire said...

Wow... that was a great "gotcha" moment for sure. I would love to be in the give away!

Unknown said...

I just love Julia Roberts. She seems like just a nice person to be around. I've never heard any stories about her being mean or difficult.

Elizabeth said...

Great joke!

Elizabeth said...

Great joke!

Mia said...

I rarely go to the movies anymore since I like to be able to see what I am knitting.

Did you know there are a number of other actresses who knit as well? Easy to do while waiting on the set I guess.

I'm in. I'd love to see the movie.

Carrie#K said...

Oh my gosh, that was so cute! I love the way some of those guys handled the needles. Now I know I have to go see Larry Crowne.

Jane said...

I love Tom Hanks in anything! I had read that Julia loved to knit so this was a really cute prank. Plus, they learned a great skill!

Marcia said...

I will give this film a chance in spite of poor reviews locally, as it does sound like one I will love. I've learned not to trust reviewers! Thanks for posting this, and also for offering a chance to win!

Stephanie said...

Great video - thanks for sharing! (I haven't even heard of this movie, so don't include me in the giveaway. I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the clip.)

sprite said...

The movie looks so sweet. I can't wait to see it.
