Failure to Launch

*Warning: Spoilers*




I just saw "Failure to Launch" and i thought it was just ok. There were a few things i did like, and a few things i did NOT like.


The things that i DID like about the movie were...

1. Matthew McConaughey being bitten time after time by animals. I thought it would become stale after the second time, but it never did.

2. The scene stealing scenes by Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates as McConaugheys parents, who want him to move out.

Fails to Launch

Lightweight, overly-predictable, would-be romantic comedy; the script obviously thinks limitless scenes of animal attacks are hilarious, as characters get bit by a chipmunk, a dolphin, a lizard and a mockingbird. Zooey Deschanel escapes the tedium in the usually thankless role of the best friend, but the chemistry between Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker, well, fails to launch. Final Grade: C

Oh Lord.

The worst. I mean this joins the sewagey ranks of most other recent super-stereotyped male and female "romantic comedy" uglies.

This is one of those bottom of the barrell - "what the hell is going on?!"- kind of movies.

The frighteningly over-cooked McConaughey's name is "Tripp" - and as if THAT weren't enough - A LIZARD LAUGHS AT THEIR MISFORTUNE.

Enough said.
