Ready to Fly Review ofFailure To Launch DVDby

Advantages: A light frothy film that doesn't overdo the schmaltz Disadvantages: Some stereotypical characters
Thirty-something Tripp has it all; money, looks, and a roof over his head. It doesn't seem to worry him that the roof belongs to his parents because he still lives at home. It's great - home cooking, a live-in cleaner and a guarantee that even the hardiest girls will be scared off by his living arrangements.

Advantages: Decent comedy Disadvantages: A bit predictable
At the age of 35, Tripp still lives at home with his parents. Fear of commitment, and an over-reliance on boyhood friendship with equally reluctant friends Ace and Demo provide him with the perfect excuse to impose himself on his increasingly impatient parents. When they hear about Paula, who provides interventions for commitment-shy men who wont leave home, they hire her to date their son and put him through his paces. Predictably they soon find ...
