Failure to Launch (2006)
Matthew McConaughey is a babe. There should be a law preventing that man from wearing a shirt. At the very least, Failure to Launch is worth watching for recognizing that fact and giving us a nice surfing scene. A very nice surfing scene.
Of course there are more reasons to watch Failure to Launch – the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Kathy Bates, Terry Bradshaw and of course the two other pieces of eye candy we have to drool over, Bradly Cooper and Justin Bartha.
Yes, Failure to Launch is a tad predictable and the addition of the animatronic animals is questionable at best (although I will admit, I like it), but it’s also a lot of fun. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a chance!
He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
Finally a movie that tells the truth. Ladies, we’ve all been there. We’re upset because of some guy we know we’re in love with and all our friends gather around making excuses for him – well, to make us feel better would probably be more accurate. They mean well, of course, but in the end, it only makes the situation worse. We hold out hope for lost causes far longer than we should and don’t move on. For this reason, He’s Just Not That Into You is required viewing for any woman going through a breakup or dealing with the messy emotions of what turns out to be a one night stand.
All the scenarios are covered here. The explanation, as it so often is in real life, is always the same. He’s Just Not That Into You. Say it. Feel it. Sulk over it. Get over it.
The cast is ridiculous. Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Gennifer Goodwin (she’s the one that looks like a million other actress.), Drew Barrymore, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Connelly and even a little cameo by Kris Kristofferson. I really don’t know what else to say about the cast. Phenomenal.
