[edit] Plot

Jack Corcoran is a motivational speaker for the masses in mini-malls and rented halls across the country. Jack's advice is: if life isn't all that you expected, put aside all those wouldas, couldas and shouldas and Get over it! Jack's dad (a father he never knew) was a circus clown and just passed on, leaving his son a hefty inheritance: his 8,000 pound trained circus elephant (Tai) named Vera (after Jack's mother), who comes complete with a trunkful of debts. In order to pay off his debts, Jack decides to sell Vera. The bulk of the movie plays on the problem of traveling 2,000 miles in five days with the 8,000 pound elephant. It's a predicament that is "Larger Than Life."
