Movie: Failure to Launch

Surprisingly good Okay, I am having rating issues. I think I am too generous with my 3 star ratings because this isn’t as good as most things I rate 4 stars but it’s better than most 3’s. I should probably expand into the 5’s and 1’s. Anyway… This is a surprisingly funny movie. It’s a relatively predictable romantic comedy at the core, but there are a few elements that take it beyond that. First, Kathy Bates is the mother and does a great job, Second, and more importantly, is the female roommate character. She is quirky and dark and really makes the story more interesting and unique. Furthermore, this movie made me lough out loud more than once, which is unusual. I recommend it as a fun comedy to enjoy alone or with your sweetie.
