Failure To Launch – so what do you get when you put “Sex and the City” favorite gal pal Sarah Jessica Parker, together with big screen heartthrob, Matthew McConaughey? A sure fire hit even if it never really launches. Maybe I’m being a little too hard on this Peter Pan Syndrome movie about a guy (Matthew) who refuses to move out of mom (Kathy Bates) and dad (Terry Bradshaw’s) house, so they hire an professional intervention-type girl who guarantees she can launch him to marriage, and launch them to freedom. The formula, makes for a good two hour date flick, even though Matthew can’t match the comedy skills of Parker. It’s okay though, he’s hunky to look at. But it’s the parents and the sidekicks like Zooey Deschannel, that add a fun balance to a sweet movie. The only problem is that no matter how cute or how much chemistry, Parker never really performs any amazing feats quite convincing enough to show us that he would actually leave. Silly fun none the less. Two tiaras.
