A little while ago I went with my wife to see the movie Failure to Launch starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker. The movie is about a guy that will not move out of his parents house even though he is in his 30′s who’s parents hire a girl to convince him to move out. Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is a psychologist that is hired by parents to get their older kids to move out of the house and she has a formula that she follows to get them to move out. Matthew McConaughey plays a sailboat broker who has such an easy time living at home and such a fear of commitment with women that anytime a woman gets interested romantically he invites them to go to his place so that she can meet his parents and see that he lives at home.

This is a classic chick movie and I went because my wife wanted to but in the end I really enjoyed the movie. The guys do so real cool things together for fun and the formula that the girl uses is entertaining and great to watch. As can be expected the movie does descend into a romantic comedy but as a guy flick it does end up being entertaining with some great characters thrown in.

One more thing that is really funny is the over exposure of all star NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Terry is good in this movie and as the movie goes on he and his character jsut keep getting better and better
