Failure To Launch: Review

Dear newspaper advice columnist: What should a pair of comfortably middle-class, retirement-aged, aspiring empty-nesters do about the gainfully employed, physically and mentally sound son in his thirties who just won't move out because he's got such a sweet deal at home? This awkward, flabby romantic comedy pivots on a preposterous answer: They should hire a "consultant" to use her carefully calculated charm to beguile the self-sufficiency-averse heel-dragger (but not sleep w... read more leave a comment

WHO'S DA MAN? | Today's News: Our Take | 3/27/2006
Maybe V really stood for vulnerable. This week at the box office, Spike Lee's Denzel Washington thriller, Inside Man, took in $29 million and bumped Natalie Portman's action flick V for Vendetta to second place (with a take of $12.3 million). Personally, I find Frankie Muniz kinda scary as it is, and apparently, combined with an actual fear feature, so do moviegoers: The Malcolm in the Middle star's chiller, Stay Alive, opened in third with $11.3 million. Rounding out the top five are Failure to Launch, in fourth with $10.8 million, and The Shaggy Dog, in fifth with $9.1 million.

Free Ride Apparently this whole... | Today's News: Our Take | 3/13/2006
Free Ride Apparently this whole grown-kid-living-at-home-and-mooching-off-parents thing is not a new concept, seeing as how that movie Failure to Launch was number one at the box offices this weekend. Well, at least Nate is just fresh out of college while Matthew McConaughey's character is like 35 or something. So for the 19 people out there who were not watching The Sopranos or Desperate Housewives and actually tuned in to what Fox claims is the funniest new comedy on TV, I hope you enjoyed this show as much as I did. Watching Nate's dad go ballistic when he found out Nate's car "just stopped" because he read more
