Review of Failure to Launch (2006) by Amy M — 07 Jul 2009
Terrible movie. A typical, cliche chick flick only worse. First of all, the basic premise of this movie is probably the dumbest most retarded idea I have ever heard of. Two parents want their 35 year old son to move out of the house.
Instead of just telling him to move out or just kick him out, they hire a woman to pretend to date him (I guess it is better to lie and go behind your son's back and break his heart then to just be honest with him over a really dumb issue to begin with).
It just so happens that this woman's profession is fake dating guys to get them to move out of their parents house and then when she breaks up with them they are perfectly fine and happy and a new person.
Yaaaa. Whoever was behind the screenplay should be shot. There were no jokes at all in this movie. Period. Unless you find humorous, people falling down, getting bit by animals, and the typical scene in every lame movie where a guy gets knocked out of a boat accidentally by his ditz girlfriend and its supposed to be funny.
Yea that scene is so original. Second, Sarah Jessica Parker is ugly and has the most annoying lisp and does a pretty sub-par acting job in this movie and Matthew McConaughey is the same typical character he plays in every movie with his quips, wet wave-backed hair and opened up dress shirt, and that stupid cock-cheeky grin and sound effects he always has.
He is one of the most annoying actors in the world. Third, you see Terry Bradshaw's bare ass....Three times!!!! Does it sound like any good can possibly come from this movie?
