Failure to Launch

CriticsCritics: 35
AudienceAudience: 5.8

A confident thirtysomething man still lives comfortably with his parents, who are eager for him to move out. They hire a professional interventionist to date him and encourage independence, but her carefully planned approach becomes complicated as genuine feelings emerge.

My take

You may enjoy this if you want a light, conventional romantic comedy with an unusual setup and playful side characters; Not for you if you prefer sharper humor, believable romance, or stronger chemistry.
