    utterly tedious

    06 December 2008
    Failure to Launch does exactly as the title suggests...it fails. It fails on so many levels as a romantic comedy. I was so bored watching this film that it takes a strong mind to actually watch this from start to finish. I still regard Matthew McConaughey as a decent actor but in this film, it was simply painful, playing a guy who loves to live with his parents. Sarah Jessica Parker tries too much to bring that “Sex and the City” attitude to the film and her performance is unconvincing. It is left to the supporting characters to bring in some credibility into this film, even though it was bland, one-dimensional and at times, stupid. The major problem I have with this film is that it feels like McConaughey’s other romantic film “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” - right down to the movie poster. That film is much funnier, better and far more convincing than this film will ever be.
