About this product

Product Information

Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker, SEX AND THE CITY) has a highly unusual job in this at times cartoonish romantic comedy: she's an interventionist. What this means is that parents of young men who are still living at home well into adulthood can hire her to date their sons, which lends the often troubled men the fortitude to strike out on their own. Trip (Matthew McConaughey) seemingly fits this description perfectly; a 35-year-old extreme sports enthusiast and boat salesman, he uses his living situation to quickly end any relationship that becomes too serious. Trip's doting mother (Kathy Bates) and quirky father (former quarterbackTerry Bradshaw) hire Paula at their friends' adamant recommendation, and she sets about her tried-and-true method of winning Trip over. A few obstacles emerge, however, as Trip's buddy Ace (Justin Bartha) finds out the truth, and must be bribed by a date with Paula's hilariously hostile roommate Kit (Zooey Deschanel). Paula also discovers a few things about Trip's past that make her realize how different he is from the rest of her clients, but just as she begins to develop real feelings for him, disaster strikes.Though somewhat meandering in its plotline, some of the best and funniest moments in FAILURE TO LAUNCH are provided by its supporting cast. Deschanel provides dry, intelligent humor in a subplot involving a mockingbird that's taken up residence outside her window, as well as her courtship by adoring suitor Ace. Bates as usual gives a complex performance, doing much with the part provided for her, while a game Bradshaw is appealing in his eccentricities. The film's somewhat fantastical plot is quickly eclipsed by the charm of the characters, the irresistible slapstick humor, and, in the end, heartwarming sentiment and lessons learned.

  • Failure to Launch (2006, DVD)

    The 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 ...

  • Failure to Entertain

    As far as saccharine, formulaic, ending-wrapped-up-in-a-little-bow romantic comedies go, this one isn't completely unbearable. Matthew McWhateverhisname always gives a great performance, even in trite scripts like this. Sarah Jessica Parker is somewhat bearable, and she seems to have managed some control over her face, so it isn't distracting you for the entire film. But what really saved this film were unexpected performances from Terry Bradshaw (yes, THAT Terry Bradshaw) and Zooey Deschanel, both of whom deserve leading roles in their next films. Also, Kathy Bates is her usual sparky, snappy self - always very alive and interesting in her roles. The plot isn't terribly original, and the tension is only mildly felt; also, chemistry has taken a holiday for this ...

  • Two Loveable Characters Bring Life to Typical RomComedy

    While Failure To Launch offers all the makings of your typical Romantic Comedy, it does offer a little something extra in that the "Romeo" of the story is a middle aged man still living at home with mom and dad. And, as can be expected, Mom & Dad want him out. And how, praytell, do they expect to accomplish this goal? How else other than hire a woman to make their son fall in love and want to move out! But, as can be expected, it simply isn't that easy. And that is where the barrel of laughs start rolling in. And you won't stop laughing until the end. This is not just a chick flick. This is a movie that men and women both will enjoy!

  • Failure to Launch

    Okay, so I'm not 35 years old like Tripp (Matthew McCanaughey), but this movie tells the familiar story of kids who just won't move out (like me!). His mom (like many moms do) does everything for him from cooking his meals to washing his clothes. Although his mom doesn't seem to mind too much, she and her husband decide it is time to get him out of the house. So they hire Paula (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) to date him and make him want to be independent. Paula is a professional get-sons-out-of-the-house and has a reputation of succeeding every time she is hired by parents like Tripp's parents. But Paula makes a big mistake with this "job" by falling in love. This movie is a good chick-flick but I watched it with a lot of older single guys and a ...
