Failure to Launch

It’s a good movie.

Love this movie

This movie is one we enjoy watching again and again. Matthew McConaughey is fabulous in the lead role and shows great emotional depth. And though I’m not usually a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, this is one movie where I am able to appreciate her ability to provide an exceptional performance. And let’s be serious here - Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw steal the spotlight every time, without them even trying to. There isn’t a better portrayal of aging adults dealing with the life change that occurs as you contemplate being kidless together, in the latter half of your marriage.In this movie, there’s a lot of humor, some relatable circumstances for everyone, and enough emotion without bogging the story down. It’s a fabulous must-see!

Not everything Matthew McCaughey has done reflected his abilities but his interaction with Sarah Jessica Parker was a good match. Could have done without Terry Bradshaw's eternal smile but overall a enjoyable watch.

This was a funny and pretty good film. Sadly, it aluminates another growing trait in our modern world...kids age thirty and up still living with their parents, though most of the real-life situations are for other reasons than our main character's motives. Matthew McConaughey was amusing as the thirty-five-year-old who used living with his parents to avoid committing to a relationship. As the therapist (I think that's her position) called in to fix this issue, Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't entirely bland, but she could have been a lot livelier. The comedy gold of the film came from the main characters parents, Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates. Bradshaw nicely portrayed a number of quirky habits throughout the film that can only leave you wondering what he's going to do next. I could never get enough of Kathy Bates and this film is no exception...put her in more scenes and just make up reasons for her being there. Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha did all right as the leading man's two best friends, but they lacked any sort of individual personalities...the movie could have accomplished the same thing with just one friend. Someone who did have personality was Zooey Deschanel, playing the free-spirited (that'd be an understatement) roommate of Sarah Jessica Parker's character. Overall, this film came together as a fairly decent problem. It's got its problems, but you can still watch it without constantly checking how much time's left until the credits. Enjoy.

Hilarious movie

Failure to Launch was extremely funny and enjoyable!That acting is flawless all around at every level. The story is great. The comedy is so entertaining. I admit that I have watched it many times, even before I bought the DVD. Great price!
