Failure To Launch (DVD)

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!

In this romantic battle of wills, there's no place like home...

Typical chick flick, identifies the problem, everything looks peachy and then something goes wrong and half an hour later all is well and everybody lives happily ever after! Worth a watch if you manage to grab it at a bargain price off ebay but i wouldnt spend more than a few pounds or bother buying from a shop! Matthew Mcconaghey and Sarah Jessica Parker act quite well together in this film which makes it more believable and slightly better but its one of them films you watch when there is literally nothing else for you to do. Dont spend more than around £3 or your buying a 1 way ticket to dissapointment.

Failure to launch DVD Really Funny and send in very quick. It was send I about a week after my bid won. It was a good price and looked brand new!!!!!!!!

In stark contrast to most of the reviews, I have to say that this is a really poor film!

As a fan of Matthew McConaughey I'd expected much more, and perhaps it's time for him to take a rest from churning out Rom Com's and return to some more serious acting. The plot is see through, jokes obvious to point of ridiculous and acting so wooden it would make Pinnochio jealous. Above all, the film was blatantly made to cash in on the success of 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 days' - a great film. But, alas, 'Failure to Launch' is not ...

As a Matthew McConaughey fan this film was a must see for me and I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed! Sarah Jessica Parker isn't one of my favourite actresses but she manages a good performance as a therapist specialising in 'curing' men of their need to stay at home. Matthew of course plays his role of a man who sees no reason to give up the comfy lifestyle he has at home (with a mother who dotes on his every need) perfectly.
The friends and supporting cast make the film a fantstic watch too, well worth a couple of hours of anyone's time. If you're after something to watch on a girly night in or with a box of chocolates and a glass of wine then it's perfect... just enough soppiness to make it a romantic comedy but not too much to make you want to reach for a sick bucket. The only thing I would say I dislike about the film is the fact it's not long enough: there are several story lines that could be enhanced by an extra ten minutes like the friends relationships and the antics of the parents when he finally leaves home!

I bought as a present for my sister, i have got this dvd, and thought it was good laugh, its a girly movie.

fantastic film, suitable for everyone, even my dad thought it was good. If you are a Sex and the City fan this is the film for you. There are moments of SJP, then when she gets going you can deffinately see Carrie. NOT JUST A CHICK FLICK!!! You guys will get a laugh out of it too, you might even realise there's a little piece of you in the film.

paid for, never receieved, reported it to ebay, seller no longer registered, no refund!!! feel extremely let down that i had this experience and am worried after this being the third time it's happened, to continue buying from ebay.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was fun and real, you can imagine people in a similar situation ( just maybe not paying people to help )

Friends have borrowed and it loved it too.

I decided to buy it as I didn't get to watch it in the cinema and I'm really glad I did

If you liked How to lose a guy in 10 days you'll love this! to be honest the storylines are extremely similar in they way it is written. ie: Tripp falls in love with Paula (the woman whose pretending to be in love with him so that he will move out of his parents home) at the end they actually fall in love with one another, its predictable but still makes a pretty good film, its funny, has great stars so definitely worth a watch. i dont think its as good as how to lose a guy in 10days tho, that was classic. i even thought this could be a second film following as there so similar just a different storyline.
