Womanizing bachelor asshole Connor (Matthew McConaughey) is on the road to sabotaging his younger brother Paul’s (Breckin Meyer) wedding, so dead Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas) appears along with ghosts of past girlfriends to set him straight. Hilarity ensues.
Synopsis
Steven (Matthew McConaughey) is hiding something from his girlfriend Carol (Kate Beckinsale) — his parents and twin brother (Gary Oldman) are dwarves.
Ad guy Benjamin (Matthew McConaughey) bets with his buddies that magazine writer Andie (Kate Hudson) will fall in love with him in ten days. Meanwhile, she’s writing an article on how to dump a man in the same length of time. Neither knows of the other’s ulterior motives. Hilarity ensues.
Failure to Launch starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker is a pretty calculated movie, one where the math is pretty wrong. It’s basically a by the numbers romantic comedy (boy meets girl, they break up, they get back together) combined with the mean spirit of Meet the Parents and the social awkwardness of 40 Year Old Virgin.
