Reviews
|
Variety -
An especially slight romantic comedy whose modest charms are derived largely from its supporting players.
|
|
The New York Times -
The movie has only the most tenuous connection with reality. But the same could be said of classic 30's screwball comedies in which the treacherous feints and ploys of the mating game are transmuted into witty, romantically charged repartee.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
McConaughey and Parker get stranded with thanklessly predictable scenes, while Zooey Deschanel, Kathy Bates and Terry Bradshaw garner the film's few laughs.
|
|
Village Voice -
Failure to Launch has all the gravitas of a midseason-replacement sitcom.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
If you like Kathy Bates movies, you'll probably be frustrated with this one, since as Tripp's mother, the invaluable character actress is made to whipsaw between playing sappy domestic slave to her son's laundry and salty, overly sexual wife.
