Just like Jon Stewart jokingly said of George Clooney at the Oscars, Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) is a good-night-and-good-luck kinda guy. When a woman gets too interested, he brings her home for a romantic evening ... where she quickly discovers he still lives with his parents, Sue and Al (Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw, made for each other). That's the setup for "Failure to Launch," a romantic comedy that fails to live up to its potential yet still manages to flounder about appealingly. Read the full review

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C+
"The film would fare better if it focused more on (Sarah Jessica) Parker's character ... and jettisoned some of the stupid pet tricks."
The Palm Beach Post: C+
"Do not go to Failure to Launch expecting a radically surprising ending. Go instead for Parker's deadpan cynical roommate, Zooey Deschanel, whose every line assures her theft of this movie."
