About this product

Product Information

Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker, SEX AND THE CITY) has a highly unusual job in this at times cartoonish romantic comedy: she's an interventionist. What this means is that parents of young men who are still living at home well into adulthood can hire her to date their sons, which lends the often troubled men the fortitude to strike out on their own. Trip (Matthew McConaughey) seemingly fits this description perfectly; a 35-year-old extreme sports enthusiast and boat salesman, he uses his living situation to quickly end any relationship that becomes too serious. Trip's doting mother (Kathy Bates) and quirky father (former quarterback Terry Bradshaw) hire Paula at their friends' adamant recommendation, and she sets about her tried-and-true method of winning Trip over. A few obstacles emerge, however, as Trip's buddy Ace (Justin Bartha) finds out the truth, and must be bribed by a date with Paula's hilariously hostile roommate Kit (Zooey Deschanel). Paula also discovers a few things about Trip's past that make her realise how different he is from the rest of her clients, but just as she begins to develop real feelings for him, disaster strikes. Some of the best and funniest moments in FAILURE TO LAUNCH are provided by its supporting cast. Deschanel provides dry, intelligent humour in a subplot involving a mockingbird that's taken up residence outside her window, as well as her courtship by adoring suitor Ace. Bates as usual gives a complex performance, doing much with the part provided for her, while a game Bradshaw is appealing in his eccentricities. The film's somewhat fantastical plot is quickly eclipsed by the charm of the characters, the irresistible slapstick humour, and, in the end, heart-warming sentiment and lessons learned.

New York Times - Director Tom Dey obviously cherishes 30's comedies, and he confidently guides a screenplay that has some of the sass and bit of those oldies through the screwball rapids. Mr. McConaughey and Ms. Parker make well-matched sparring partners

  • DVD worked well and put the movie Failure 2 Launch on screen for me to see

    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.

  • Filled with biting humor

    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 ...

  • Fab chick flick, ideal for a girly night in!

    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.
