Failure to Launch was absoulutely hands down one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
McConaughey bonds with the boys while charming the skirts off the women as Tripp, a 35-year-old man who refuses to leave the comforts of his parents’ home. A boat broker who dreams of someday owning one, Tripp just loves life at mom and dad’s. Mom does his laundry, cleans his room, serves delicious pancakes for breakfast, and even packs his lunch. If one of his numerous conquests is getting too close to asking for a commitment, he simply brings her home and lets mom and dad do the dirty work. Once they discover he still lives under the same roof as his parents, his lady friends find they can’t vacate the premises fast enough. Problems solved, relationships ended.
Tripp’s not alone in failing to launch. His best buddies Ace (Justin Bartha) and Demo (Bradley Cooper) also enjoy the creature comforts of life with the parents. In fact, all of Tripp’s parents’ friends appear to have grown children living at home. It’s enough to drive them to drink – until one family finds a solution and shares the secret: hire a professional interventionist. Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), a woman whose job it is to lure men into moving out finds herself a real case when Tripp’s parents decide that’s the route to go and the game is on.
Its a lovely romantic comedy that has you on the floor holding your stomach and rooting for your favorite characters! Also, there are post katrina pics of new orleans zephyr field and the lakefront...see if you can spot them. :smt038
