Movie Review: Failure To Launch
I have been a home owner for coming on three years now. So basically, I left home when I was 32. Matthew McConaughey’s character is still living at home in Failure To Launch at the age of “35.” Sarah Jessica Parker is supposed to lure him from that situation, but instead falls in love with him. Some things happen. Other things happen. He gets bitten by animals. And Zooey Deschanel steals the show.
I liked this film better than I expected to. It was the first time in a long while that Sarah Jessica Parker was not in a role that made her be an uptight shrew. She was decent.
They wrapped the romantic comedy around some nut job action that is similar to Something About Mary or Wedding Crashers. Unlike Wedding Crashers which started as comedy and ended in mush. Failure to Launch starts out mushy and ends in some hilarity.
3 of 5 stars.
