Movie Review: Failure to Launch
It was ok. I liked the premise, and of course, I love Matthew McConaughey. It had moments when I gave a little laugh outloud. But I think it was lacking in character development. I think that's what my problem with it was. I just didn't care about the characters that much. It was an hour and a half long, and maybe it shoulda been 2 hours long to give them a chance to flesh out more. There were some bits of humor, too, that felt a bit out of place, like maybe they were supposed to go into a Ben Stiller movie, but missed and ended up here. I liked the friends. One of them was the guy who played Riley in 'National Treasure,' and that's a great movie, and he's great in that, so it was fun to see him in something else. And this movie has Matthew McConaughey without a shirt a few times, so that's another happy thing about it.

Ok I expected this movie to suck and I was surprised it wasn't totally bad; I still didn't like it enough to want to ever see it again, but I never analyzed why either. I think you did a good job of that! I agree with you!
And yeah, I wonder what God's trying to teach us (cuz I'm learning vicariously!) with this crazy boy episode... Hm. And that last post wasn't too long :-)
Thanks for seeing the movie for us. I think we'll skip this one! I'm interested in Stranger than Fiction- that one looks fun. Let us know if/when you see it what you think!
As for hottie boy- whoa boy! Coming on a little strong I think! But maybe that's just the whole Colin-episode thing in me getting scared. I think I would have punched him out and taught him some manners! :)
