unlabelledView post →perhaps Failure to Launch is a film about a man too immature to move out of his parent's house, and the woman who might inspire him to finally grow up? An Apatowian proposition? WRONG! It is in fact a film about a man so traumatized by mortality that he acts outside the confines of natural law

unlabelledView post →4️⃣ it’s kind of my take on Failure to Launch, but has no resemblance to the plot or characters of that movie. just the idea of being a person who has failed to launch is the only connection 😅

unlabelledView post →There was a movie made some years back with Jennifer Lopez, and Matthew McConaughey called "Failure to Launch" He just failed to grow up & out of the traditional family unit, because he was comfortable in his ignorance. Everything was handed to him & he had no reason to do the hard work of growth
unlabelledView post →A simply OK film, though the last 20/30 minutes or so does drag a tad. Matthew McConaughey is good, Sarah Jessica Parker is good, the support cast (which includes an early role of Bradley Cooper's) are good. I didn't overly enjoy what I was watching, but I wasn't particularly bored with it either. I don't really have much to say about it in truth. At around 90 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. That makes it a watchable, if slightly forgettable, flick from 2006 in my books.
