 Tagline: To leave the nest, some men just need a little push.
Tripp (Matthew McConaughey), 35, has never been able to leave the nest. Now, his desperate parents have had enough. They hire the gorgeous and talented girl of his dreams (Sarah Jessica Parker) to get him to move out of the house.
According to Matthew McConaughey, the star of the new romantic comedy “Failure to Launch,” his character, Tripp, has practical reasons for being a 35-year-old, all-American guy who's never moved out of his parents' house. “As far as Tripp's concerned, you don't fix what isn't broken,” he says. “It's free, he's got a great room, and mom does the laundry. It's a great hotel.”
Everything changes for Tripp when he meets Paula. She's everything that Tripp's looking for: smart, funny, talented, and beautiful. What Tripp doesn't know is that there's a good reason she's so perfect: a professional consultant, Paula has been hired by his parents to lure him out of the house.
“On paper, Tripp's case seems open-and-shut,” says Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Paula. “Of course, when she meets him, that proves not to be the case. She finds a well-adjusted, educated, perfectly normal guy who's 50 billion times more handsome than her other clients, but for some reason, he just can't get out the door.”
