Failure to launch is a reasonably funny movie, in spite of not being an extraordinary comedy. The story is about a 35 years old guy who's still living with his parents, and I think the movie has a special meaning because of that, since it is a very interesting issue to discuss about our society nowadays: adults who're still living with their parents
(I'm one of them! Well, at least, I'm just 27
). Sons are leaving their parent's homes later and later and I think it's important to do films like this one, which make people think about this growing reality...
Besides this "social interest", Failure to launch has some nice jokes. It's not an amazing humour, but it's enough to make you laugh! It's just the typical humour which usually exists in this kind of comedies.
But I really appreciated one detail in this movie, and the message I suppose it tried to mean: The connexion between Tripp (Matthew Mc Conaughey's character) and the nature (he was bitten by "pacific animals" as a squirrel and a dolphin!) When he was unhappy, it seemed he had the entire world against him (the animals, in this case!), but when he finally found love, it seemed the universe was in peace with him again, just because he was in peace with himself. It's all a matter of energy and the nature can feel it!
A great surprise was Zooey Deschanel (the actress who plays "Kit")! I guess I've never seen her before, but I loved those blue eyes she's really cute! And her character was pretty funny too.
