Movie Reviews of Failure to Launch (Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Very Fun to watch--definitely worth your time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know why this is rated less than 4 stars and some really sucky movies are rated 4.5. It is not the absolute max in romantic comedies, but it's up there with the best. If you go along with the plot, there are some really great laughs to be had in this movie. I don't even like sarah jessica parker or whatever her name is, but she did a great job in this movie--super acting by the whole cast. Great lines in here. The Star Wars part is hysterically funny.
Summary of Failure to Launch (Special Collector's Edition)
Matthew McConaughey is Tripp a 35 year-old who still lives with his parents. And who can blame him? It s free he s got a great room and mom (Kathy Bates) does the laundry. Desperate to get him out of the house his parents hire a gorgeous woman Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker) to give him a little push. They just didn t expect Tripp would push back! Zooey Deschanel Terry Bradshaw and Alias Bradley Cooper co-star in this romantic battle of wills that proves there s no place like home.System Requirements:Runtime: 96 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG-13 UPC:?097363449140 Manufacturer No:?344914The plot of Failure to Launch is utterly implausible, yet the movie is thoroughly fun. Tripp (laid-back Matthew McConaughey, Sahara, Dazed and Confused) is a 35-year-old man who still lives with his parents (Kathy Bates, Misery, and ex-quarterback Terry Bradshaw)--and they aren't happy about it. Eager to get him out of the nest, they hire Paula (Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker), a professional motivator who feigns relationships with boy-men so that their improved self-esteem will lead them to leave the nest. But Tripp's not the usual insecure shut-in Paula's used to, and as sparks fly, Paula finds herself losing her professional distance. This sort of set-up drove classic screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s; once you embrace the absurdity, the movie zips along with a surprising balance of humor and bittersweet shadings. Failure to Launch gets a huge boost from the supporting performance of Zooey Deschanel (Elf) as Paula's housemate Kit--part sourpuss, part tomboy, and entirely sexy and winning. McConaughey and Parker have enjoyable chemistry and carry the movie well, but Deschanel is an oddball romantic-heroine-in-waiting. Also featuring Bradley Cooper (Alias) and Justin Bartha (National Treasure). --Bret Fetzer
