This is another of Christy's massive collection of romantic comedies. It's not the worst of the lot, but it's not something I would ever repeat watching.
Thirty-something Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) has a great life. He loves his job, has two close friends, and dates beautiful women. The best part is that when he gets tired of these ladies, all he has to do to send them running is take them to his house...where he lives with his parents. Fed up with their son's slacker lifestyle, Sue (Kathy Bates) and Al (Terry Bradshaw) hire professional "launcher" Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker) to motivate Tripp into moving out.
Since this is a romantic comedy, you can pretty much guess exactly what happens, in what order, and how it ends. Supporting players include fellow Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper, Zooey Deschanel, and Justin Bartha. While the movie does have several cute moments, it is so paint-by-the-numbers that you could sleep through 90% of it and not feel like you missed a thing.
