Failure to Launch (2006) Channel 4, 2.25pm ★★

Released at the peak of Matthew McConaughey’s fleeting love affair with romcoms, Failure to Launch focuses on 35-year-old womaniser Tripp (McConaughey) who still lives at home because he can’t face growing up; that is, until his parents grow tired of his immaturity and hire Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), an expert in persuading adult children to move out. Surprise, surprise, they fall in love.
