What Parents Need to Know
About Failure to Launch
Parents need to know that this movie may not appeal to teens, who probably don't care much about an immature 35-year-old. The movie includes frequent comic sexual references. The film opens on a date that ends with a couple in bed, Tripp's parents appear in bed together (and Terry Bradshaw appears naked in one scene, with fish tank judiciously placed to hide his privates). Paula pretends to have her ailing dog put to sleep (and cries about it) in order to win Tripp's sympathy; they have sex one night in his bedroom (you see parents listening to moans and squeals). Several scenes of comic violence. Lots of drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the phenomenon of adult children living with their parents. How does Tripp's perpetual adolescence affect his parents? Why is Tripp so afraid to grow up? Does the movie glamorize "the bachelor lifestyle"? What stereotypes does this movie rely upon?

Another trashy romantic comedy that should be rated R
Yet another romantic comedy that gets a PG-13 rating, but should be closer to an R rating. Crude language is frequently used, which is the opposite of what one would expect from a romance movie. Cheap entertainment and nothing uplifting at all about the movie. Save your time by not watching this one and do something more positive with your friends or family.

Amazing
This is an amazing movie and it is a lesson in true love. Everyone in middle school or higher should see it. Even though some moments are a little inapproppriate for younger kids, a classic fairy- tale ending ensues. Since I am 13, I am at the perfect age to see this movie.

cute
I don't know why common sense only gave it 2 stars. I thought it was funny and reminded me of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. This movie was really good and I definately recommend this to any one 13 and up!

Failiure to entertain
A complete waste of time, a disconnected story and a wannabe slapstick comedy that simply doesn't deliver.
