It is a performances centric movie

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I've run out of comedies to watch, so I gave this one a shot. You never know, even a film with a bad title and mediocre reviews may be good... but not this one. The dialogues are overfilled with fluff that's supposed to be funny but is not, and story is predictable from the get-go. Tired of torturing myself with junk, I had to stop there, and came here to warn others. Stay well away. You were warned.And since the review now must have at least 10 lines of text, I will add here that the every scene was painful to watch, and every dialogue was at least three times longer than it should have been. There, ten lines.

At 5.6/10, this rom-com is under-rated on IMDb. It's worth about a 7.5. It's not a bomb."Failure to Launch" is a perfectly enjoyable movie with a nice story line, lots of humour and sexy actors. The acting was good. I don't particularly like chick flicks, but I was easily able to sit through this lighthearted and fun film. The humour is what kept me interested, Zoey Deschanel in particular.The conceit is that older parents are getting annoyed at having their 30-something sons still living at home. How realistic that is, I don't know. Not very. Especially with a character like Tripp, a sophisticated man with lots of money, expensive pastimes and a string of girls in his bed. It's hard to see a guy like that still living at home. It's even harder to imagine parents having to hire an "interventionist" to get him to leave. However, this didn't ruin the movie for me.

Failure to Launch (2006)Another decent but sometimes strained interference with love film. I can think of two more classic recent ones, "Hitch" and "Heartbreaker," and this doesn't rise to those modest heights.The impressive star of the two leads is the lesser name, charming and gorgeous Matthew McConaughey, who is not just believable but also compelling (which is something different). Across from him is the Sex and the City mega-star, Sarah Jessica Parker, who is good, and who does the job as a would-be pretend girlfriend who really does fall in love. Or not. You'll see.The whole hook is an obvious one--first the woman is hired to make the man fall enough in love with him that he'll finally move out of his parents house. Then she'll collect her fee and boogie. But no, we know from the get-go, as with any screwball comedy, that the two leads are destined to be together. But when one learns the other's secret, what true love there was goes on the rocks. This is exactly what the other two films (above) did, and I'm sure it's a burgeoning new genre.What drags it down a bit are the side plots and side characters. Many of these are good or even terrific one way or another, but it's all patched together and a little lightweight and thin. The best of these is Parker's roommate, played with Oscar-worthy dreariness by Zooey Deschanel (who also appeared in "(500) Days of Summer"). But the sideshows of the mockingbird, the biting dolphin, and even the baroque arrangement with the t.v. monitors in the final scenes are all a little clunky. Good on paper, maybe, but in the end you have to make yourself enjoy the best of it all, which will make you laugh and have fun.

MOVIE GRADE: B REASONS WHY I LIKED IT:1. Fun! Matthew McConaughey was actually Likable in this movie.2. Story was fun!3. Supporting Cast was great - Zoey Deschanel stood out with a great performance!I recommend this movie to anyone wants to see a good romantic comedy. This movie was not meant to be SUPERB, nor was it designed to do so. It was made to give you moderate laughs and entertainment and for that this movie does a great job.
