Failure To Launch

Lisa and Charles Adrian stumble upon a real fixer-upper in this week’s film, Failure To Launch.   Year: 2006 Writers: Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember Director: Tom Dey Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Terry Bradshaw, Kathy Bates, Tyrel Jackson Williams   Show notes:   Note: We record these episodes over the internet and the sound quality in this episode is not always perfect. Our apologies.   This time round, we congratulate the filmmakers of Failure To Launch on producing material that could be made into at least three other better films. Which is to say, we really didn’t like this film.   We mention cameos from Jessica Stone as Boatyard Woman and a young Patton Oswalt as Techie Guy.   This film references The Philadelphia Story (1940) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/), so we mention it too, along with its jazz remake High Society (1956) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049314/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), and Lisa talks about Hitch (2005) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386588/).   Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com).
