Title: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
Product review: What a disappointment and waste of a good cast. This movie is so full of cliches its ridiculous. Sarah Jessica Parker is a favorite of mine (especially after viewing "The Family Stone") but she is totally mis-cast in this movie. This is the second flop that has Matthew McConaughey as the leading man (the first one being "The Wedding Planner"), although he is still very good to look at. Academy Award Winner Kathy Bates, which is always a sure thing, has no place in this film. The rest of the actors are less than memorable. The premise is good (single guy loafing off his parents = parents hiring gal to get him out of the house, etc) but the delivery is awful. This movie tries to be funny and poignant (and the first 15 minutes are passable), but from then on it is totally moronic (oh and wait to you see the ending!!!!). I can't wait to get rid of my copy of "Failure to Launch". Failure indeed.
