Failure To Launch

I watched the movie Failure To Launch this past weekend. The movie was released in 2006 and stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Paula and Matthew McConaughey as Tripp.  In the movie Tripp is in his thirties and still lives at home with his parents (portrayed by Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw). Tripp’s parents hire Paula to start a relationship with Tripp with the goal of getting him to move out of their house. Tripp is supposed to be a yacht broker but there are no scenes of him working. He dresses like a teenager and doesn’t jewlery like Technomarine watches. There are a couple of scenes on a yacht and in a boatyard. Tripp’s got two friends who also apparently live at home and do nothing. Long story short Tripp finds out what Paula and his parents have been up to and gets mad and moves out. At the end their friends lock them in a room together and they make up. I enjoyed the movie.
