Movie review - "Failure to Launch" (2006) **

This isn't really a movie its just kind of this thing that's there - it goes for around 90 minutes, is in colour, has actors speaking dialogue... but it's not really a movie. It has a bright subject matter - namely, adults who still haven't left the nest - but it's not really explored. It's kind of yucky that Sara Jessica Parker gets in relationships with these guys to build their confidence - but she doesn't sleep with them? Yeah, right. And how does she break it off? If she was doing it as a joke or a one off maybe it would work. But not for a job. Matthew Mahoganey is irritating in his yacht model way - he seems to have given up appealing to men, Mahoganey, he's that irritating. I don't think there's a single decent joke in it - hang on, giving mouth to mouth to a mockingbird was funny. But that's it. The film has editing and directing energy, but a flat script.
