Failure To Launch DVD

Advantages: Decent comedy
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...a great job, is startled to find that instead of deciding to move out of his parents house, he has decided to dump her. Hurtling towards disaster, Paula has to call him by breaking her ethical work code, which soon leads to other revelations about the pair. Failure To Launch is one of those sickly-sweet rom coms that Hollywood churns out at a rate of one per week, complete with the modern twist of the cynical best friend to give it an edge of the bittersweet. And where the cynical best friend is usually hysterically good, here Zooey Deschanel just doesn't have the acting ability nor the charisma to do it convincingly. And yet she gets some of the best lines of the film. Its left to Tripp's two friends Ace and Demo then to uphold the comedy end of the film, both of them as dense as the other.

Disadvantages: Predictable, silly wild life scenes

...Failure to Launch tells the story of a guy named Tripp (Matthew) who is in his late thirties and still living at home. He has everything he could want: a mother who does everything for him, cooking, cleaning and shopping. However he is unaware that they have had enough and want him to vacate the house. They hire Paula (S J Parker) to try and convince him to move out. She is a "interventionist," who has a formula in these cases: chance encounter, get him to ask her out, involve him in a trauma, meet his friends and get their nod, delay sex, have him teach her something, then launch him. It has never failed before but Tripp isn't like all the others. He is charming and sweet and before long she finds herself breaking her own rules and falling for him. This movie had potential but lost it along the way. The plot is too predictable from... Read review
