Failure to Launch
To leave the nest, some men just need a little push.
Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) has never been able to leave the nest. He’s always had some reason or other, but now, his desperate parents have had enough. They hire the gorgeous and talented girl of his dreams (Sarah Jessica Parker) to get him to move out of the house.

This may not be a popular favourite, but it is one of mine. The movie is hilarious. Zooey Deschanel steals the movie with Justin Bartha's help. It's a refreshing twist on the traditional romantic comedy. Matthew McConaghy plays the leading man very well. Considering in this movie you should actually dislike him for his behaviour, you end up rooting for the couple in the end. I have watched this film a dozen times and will watch it dozen more.Far from Failure - Patz
With in the genre of romantic comedies this movie meets its expectations to the full. It provide entertaining moments, fun script, and, well, romance...
For me, there are few condition for successful romantic comedy:
1. The couple must spend most of the movie as a couple - even if not as a real one. A romantic comedy which "spend" most of its time on the main characters dating others is doomed to fail.
2. The two main characters should be equally capable and each would help the other out.
3. Funny but not sweating while trying to be funny.
4. Good supportive characters beside the two main ones.
Failure to lunch deliver all of the above. It's not Pretty Woman but it does what it should in a fun and casual manner. The acting is great and there's even a hidden thematic discussion regarding the meaning of "home".Not a failure - Eduardo
A fun summer movie. Nothing to discuss after you have watched it but a funny movie nonetheless. The relationship between the three guys was a very one-sided one but typical of 'that's how guys relate.' Surprising how the guys 'told' on Paula after they had promised not to. It may look like a chick flick but I didn't find it to be that way and found it quite entertaining.
