neutral · AI labelView post →perhaps Failure to Launch is a film about a man too immature to move out of his parent's house, and the woman who might inspire him to finally grow up? An Apatowian proposition? WRONG! It is in fact a film about a man so traumatized by mortality that he acts outside the confines of natural law
positive · AI labelView post →I did not have to talk about Madea, but I *did* just get to talk about Failure to Launch, which is in many ways an ancestral fully-demented Hallmark movie. So I'm excited about that.
positive · AI labelView post →He was the backup, the primary reporter was a young woman, but she had a medical emergency shortly before launch. If you want to know more, Failure To Launch podcast has an excellent episode on this
neutral · AI labelView post →overheard between two men at work: “…Failure to Launch.” “Good movie.” What are straight people
neutral · AI labelView post →4️⃣ it’s kind of my take on Failure to Launch, but has no resemblance to the plot or characters of that movie. just the idea of being a person who has failed to launch is the only connection 😅

neutral · AI labelView post →As I am currently living the real life version of "Failure to Launch" as a parent, I can say with 100% accuracy that the movie should have been a horror movie and not a comedy.
negative · AI labelView post →Lookit. In the Mitchell Courthouse jury holding pen there are two movie choices, and instead of Maid in Manhattan I hope you get Failure to Launch.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just listened to the postcast Failure To Launch's series on Jack Parsons, a REALLY werird rocker scientist, who after handling nitroglycerin without gloves got a massive headache lasting 5 days straight. This was so common among the team that it was called a "nitroglycerin headache". Just thought about it when reading this post. BTW, I can highly recommend the Failure To Launch podcast, it is absolutely brilliant.

You have Trashfuture, Lions Led By Donkeys, Well There's Your Problem, Kill James Bond, and even semi related podcasts like Failure To Launch. Most of these are on YT, they a quite funny, and clearly on the left side politically.

neutral · AI labelView post →There was a movie made some years back with Jennifer Lopez, and Matthew McConaughey called "Failure to Launch" He just failed to grow up & out of the traditional family unit, because he was comfortable in his ignorance. Everything was handed to him & he had no reason to do the hard work of growth
neutral · AI labelView post →A simply OK film, though the last 20/30 minutes or so does drag a tad. Matthew McConaughey is good, Sarah Jessica Parker is good, the support cast (which includes an early role of Bradley Cooper's) are good. I didn't overly enjoy what I was watching, but I wasn't particularly bored with it either. I don't really have much to say about it in truth. At around 90 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. That makes it a watchable, if slightly forgettable, flick from 2006 in my books.
