Seen this film on TV and I had to buy it. Brilliant acting. Actors certainly played their part well. Well done to them. Great job all round funny film.

The DVD was slow to arrive - we had a bit of a laugh about its failure to launch from the seller to our home, the film was not quite what I had imagined from the description given by my friend who recommeded it in reply to my joking about my 20 year old Son still at home, it was less about the issues which drove the parents to take extrodinary action and all about what happens once they have, the film following the antic's of the Son rather than the parents - it had some funny moments. I have seen the film now so would not buy it again - if you are looking for some light humour on a wet afternoon this may suit.
In today's society it is difficult for young men to see why they must leave home and trice out on there own adventure. Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) is one of those young thirty-five year old sons that are part of today's society. His parents Al and Sue (Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates) only want what is best for him and heir a professional (Sarah Jessica Parker) to help cut the apron strings. Needles to say that all the things you expect to happen happens. What sets this particular movie above the standard the standard formula is the exceptional acting and the pacing is strange. And the gratuitous nude scene is more that a few flashes in the moon light. In this film even the "B" story and the supporting characters get plenty of center stage. Kit (Zooey Deschanel) added a splash of normalcy. The only downside to the movie is the annoying introductory song which is soon forgotten and mad up for with the appropriate exit songs.Read full review
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!Read full review
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...
