Failure to Launch [Blu-ray] Specifications
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 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
Customer Reviews
Tripp is a man of thirty-five years a bachelor who still lives with his parents, Al and Sue. Al and Sue hire to play the manipulative interventionist Paula Tripp girlfriend and seduce him, or to convince Tripp to their homes. Paula and Tripp fall in love for each other, but Tripp's best friends Ace and Demo accidentally reveals the truth about Paula and Demo Tripp, spoiling the plan and their relationship. When Tripp and Paula miss each other, their friends plot a schemetrying to organize a meeting to resolve the situation. Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates are crazy / funny and I'd really have parents. The rest of the cast, especially the character of the kit, the parts are played perfectly, and very funny. This is a good feeling and hilarious comedy.
