Failure to Launch (2006)

Failure to Launch is a romantic comedy film released in 2006 that takes a hilariously relatable look at the phenomenon of adult children who still live with their parents. Matthew McConaughey stars as Tripp, a charming, 35-year-old man who has never left the comforts of his parents' home. Frustrated with their son's lack of motivation, Tripp's parents hire a beautiful woman named Paula, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, to woo him and encourage him to move out. Hilarity ensues as Paula is faced with the challenges of her unconventional job, including unexpected feelings that develop between her and Tripp.

The film also stars Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates as Tripp's lovable but exasperated parents, as well as Zooey Deschanel and Justin Bartha as Tripp's best friends. Failure to Launch is a lighthearted and fun romp that explores the struggles and triumphs of growing up and finding independence.

You can play and download the sounds of this charming comedy here.

A chipmunk, and a vegetarian lizard in the same calendar year.
A copy of that, too, right here.
A couple of years ago, she fell for a guy
A little slack, Ace!
A load?
A shocking number, actually.
About my relationship with Kit?
Absolutely. There's gonna be plenty of time to talk over dinner.
Ace a rooney?
Ace told me everything.
Ace!
Actually, I own my home.
Actually, it's not my boat in any way.
Actually, it's quite simple.
After, I'll show you how to ice your shoulder down.
Al, I never have sex with a client.
All of you.
All right, assuming that pretending to own a yacht
All right, Captain, where are we heading?
All right, fine. I'll start.
All right, I need you to come to me.
All right, listen, you got any more chips and salsa downstairs?
All right, T R l double P going in to get a little squid.
All right!
All right? I was having fun.
All right? You two are the best parents that a boy could ever ask for.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All the people that I care about the most
All they needed was a little push.
All you had to do was tell me.
Am I getting advice
Amazing,
Ambidextrous.
Amen, brother!
Amy is Tripp's first love, and she died six years ago.
Amy is... He's Amy's son.
Amy was his ex fiancée. She died about six years ago.
And all night long it chirps, and it chirps, and it chirps,
And all of a sudden, out of nowhere...
And at least I'm not sponging off my parents
And at the end of it, I looked into his eyes,
And basically turn the entire upstairs into a secondary master suite
And believe me, I did not want that,
And Demo, here, has chosen the life of a wanderer.
And flowers to Tripp from Paula.
And great hair!
And he is still here.
And I always thought it was 'cause I'd miss you so much.
And I don't get nailed on the inheritance tax.
And I must tell you, son,
And I saw it.
And I still like her.
And I will show you a guy who's not afraid of his imagination.
And I would argue that's it's damn good for civilization as a whole.
And I'm sorry that I pointed out
And I'm supposed to be better at this emotional crap
And if there already is a group, I'm curious,
And if you're not ready, you just end up,
And in the end, she will break your heart.
And it's annoying, and I can't get it to shut up!
And it's not as if I waltzed into your life unbidden.
And it's not just about the Naked Room.
And let's face it, after men have sex...
And living on his own by June 15th.
And maybe talk about my old boyfriends.
And now he's...
And now I can't do anything for him, and I...
And now you think Colorado's the answer?
And she died.
And she's leaving.
And she's out.
And sometimes I'm the rebound guy.
And the best part about it is, Mom, Dad,
And the both of you,
And the music selection is a soothing blend
And the only thing I've seen you eat in the last three days
And their son is really happy now.
And then she decides to hold my hand.
And then this music got started...
And then you pretend to like it, too.
And there's jibing, which is turning away from the wind.
And they're not just cute.
And to every one of those out there who sees something different,
And we turned out fine.
And we're perfectly functional.
And when you're done with the rubber gloves,
And who is my hot little wahine, huh?
And who knows how much time is right?
And yet, in America, we're shunned for our lifestyle.
And Yoda says...
And you got these paintballs flying at you at over 200 miles an hour,
And you were the only bargaining chip that I had.
And your bathroom needs cleaning, so I left the stuff in the hall.
And, Mom, Dad, you wanted me out of the house.
And...
Another one bites the dust.
Anyone for a guava smasher?
Anytime.
Apology accepted.
Are not power guys, honey.
Are still living at home.
Are you crying?
Are you gonna pretend to own it?
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
As a matter of fact, I did.
As opposed to you, who sleeps in a king sized bed
Bad finger roll.
Beautiful setting, a simple meal...
Because
Because I had a good life before you.
Because I'm the only person who can tolerate
Because of the flowers!
Because they would miss me!
Because...
Before CGI ruined everything.
Being alone with your father freaks the living shit out of me.
Belay on.
Besides, I need to keep Tripp motivated,
Besides, the guy who does own this boat
Bev? What is that?
Bud has one, too. Do you want to see it?
Bullshit. What are you talking about?
But at least I was blissfully unaware of how miserable I was!
But every single time, we have fun.
But given the circumstances, I don't feel good keeping it, so...
But he goes in anyway, because he is not afraid of his own mind!
But how do you make sure that he'll fall in love with you?
But I do know that I need to be out in the open sea.
But I don't know what I'm doing! I'm not kidding! Seriously!
But I don't really like that place.
But I gotta say, I did not see this coming.
But I never got the chance, because you found out first.
But I think
But I think I see myself more in a 37.
But I'm not, so I'm just gonna say it.
But if you really want to help him, and I think you do,
But it's all you.
But just you're not walking yours. Okay?
But my God! That was great!
But right now, I'm cooking.
But she's a professional interventionist. It's her job.
But that strict program of yours?
But that's everything I've got in my wallet. There's $300.
But the bottom line is,
But the reality is,
But the sex was fantastic.
But to actually take you out on the water on a first date
But we like their friends, too.
But we should definitely get them together.
But you are doing great.
But you could go.
But you led me to believe that it was the handsome minimum wage slacker.
But, really, don't go anywhere.
Bye.
Can I at least give you a ride to the airport?
Can I give you a phone number for some people who can help...
Can I have a minute alone with him?
Can you get that?
Can you guys see me?
Can't. How about lunch tomorrow?
Captain, you just had nachos, two hot dogs, and a bag of peanuts.
Check it out!
Cheers, Paula.
Cheers, sweetie.
Cherry's a little dark.
Come back anytime, Son.
Come here, boy. Come here, boy.
Come here, little boy.
Come here, you.
Come here. Bucket. Bucket.
Come on up, buddy.
Come on, babe! Let's get over there!
Come on, blondie!
Come on, boy!
Come on, get in.
Come on, let's you and I go outside, huh?
Come on, Pop! Whoa, man. Don't you knock?
Come on, Tripp.
Come on! Were we talking to you?
Come on.
Come on. You don't want to say anything?
Come up. There you are.
Cup holders.
Cute.
Damn it!
Damn it.
Dating my best friend for money thing.
Deal.
Did I say that you could come out?
Did you go out with La Z Girl?
Did you really think you'd never get caught?
Didn't you just go?
Dig in!
Dinner and a show.
Do I do the look?
Do something! We're losing him!
Do you have real feelings?
Do you know that I have a contract?
Do you like speed?
Do you like to hear the roar of an engine?
Do you need me to help you with that?
Do you realize that not once have you asked me
Do you want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible?
Do you want to spend the rest of your life having fun?
Does it count if it was an accident?
Doesn't make you an expert on relationships.
Doing good. This is having fun. Aren't we?
Don't buy a boat, dude.
Don't come back without a foam finger.
Don't do all the work, Son! Make her meet you half way!
Don't do it! Don't do it! I got you! I got you!
Don't judge me, okay? I mean, you, of all people?
Don't stare.
Don't worry, I haven't ratted you out.
Dude, did you just drop me from a 40 foot cliff?
Dude, I'm so sorry.
Dude.
Eastern Wood Pewee?
Enlarge the bathroom,
Everybody loves chocolate.
Everything is going along nice and smooth,
Excuse me, ma'am. She certainly is yare?
Excuse me.
FAILURE TO LAUNCH
Feeding my fish.
Fine.
Fine. Can I have a fruit bar?
Fine. The 32 is nice.
Fine. The tall one's kind of cute. What's he do?
Finger roll. Finger roll. Finger roll.
First of all, that's the geeky computer guy.
First one to paint the skirt gets a beer.
Focus on the future, okay?
For the third straight week.
For years, I've been dreading the day you'd leave
From a fiduciary standpoint, would you say that you had an orgasm?
From my two loser buddies who still live at home?
Get any sleep last night?
Get off!
Get what you want.
Give you a hand?
Gnarly crash!
Go on with your story.
Go, go, go, go!
Go, Omaha!
Go!
God damn it, Demo, get to the point. Come on.
God, I know.
God, I'm so lucky. I mean, I'm so lucky.
God, that is so sad.
God!
Good boy.
Good morning, Son.
Good news, it's Champagne Thursday.
Good night.
Good night.
Good.
Good.
Good. So we can go now.
Gosh, Emotional Crisis Day is so critical.
Got a tissue or something?
Gotta find what works for you.
Gotta find what works for you.
Gotta scratch.
Granted, he used you, but not out of malice.
Guys need to know we not only like them,
Guys, it's simple. The fun's gone.
Half an hour. He's only here for some dental work.
Half of the love, the respect,
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Have sunrise and sunset as your only clock.
Having lunch with a friend.
He always comes.
He could go all the way!
He doesn't fit the usual profile.
He gets that stuff all the time, man.
He helps me through an emotional crisis,
He is as good as moved out.
He lets go of you.
He met a girl.
He moves out.
He never told you that, did he?
He saw a chance for love, Tripp, and he took it.
He seemed like an open and shut case.
He travels so much it doesn't make any sense
He tried to take over the dining room
He was going to tell Tripp
He was too small to even jump up on the bed
He won't return any of my phone calls, and I...
He works out of his basement, but he makes a lot of money.
He'll come.
He's a bum.
He's a radiologist.
He's a troll.
He's attractive,
He's been through an actual tragedy!
He's breaking up with you.
He's cute, too.
He's endearing, and quirky.
He's got a good job, he's got normal social skills,
He's lying.
He's making a move! All right!
He's moving his feet! He's rolling!
He's moving.
He's nice.
He's not a child, Tripp.
He's not a troll. He's... He's...
He's not his nephew. He's not related to him at all.
He's right.
He's right.
He's rolling. Here we go.
He's smart, he's sweet, he's funny.
Hell, you are such a good uncle.
Hello, Dolly!
Here we go again.
Here you go.
Here, take the wheel.
Here, take the wheel.
Here! I...
Hey there, Mr. Axelrod! I thought you were out of town!
Hey, boy!
Hey, but maybe I shouldn't judge.
Hey, but maybe I shouldn't judge.
Hey, come on, we're gonna go rock climbing. Get in the car.
Hey, gang.
Hey, guys, check this out!
Hey, here's something new!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey! Hey. Can we please discuss this someplace else?
Hey, how many times a week do you think we do it?
Hey, I don't blame my kid for staying.
Hey, I mean, come on, look at you.
Hey, I'd be fine
Hey, Kit!
Hey, listen. FYI, work wise, we're definitely on track.
Hey, man,
Hey, Paula.
Hey, Pop? Seriously, man, was it that bad having me around?
Hey, Pop.
Hey, still need this?
Hey, there's my girl. Come here, you.
Hey, wait for me.
Hey, what's going on?
Hey, what's the champagne about?
Hey, you must be Melody.
Hey, you're up! Wow, early risers.
Hey! Tripp. What are you doing here?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
Hi, Paula.
Hi, we need to talk.
Hi.
Hi. I didn't know that you guys were gonna be here.
Hit the road, Tripp
Hiya, Paula.
Holy crap, that's a big wave!
Home again.
Home again.
Honey, I've given this a lot of thought, all right? It'll work!
Honey, it's an Eastern Wood Pewee.
How about Monday?
How do you see the rest of the date playing out?
How great is that?
How in the world did you get him to move out?
How many times did you pump it?
How will I choose?
How you doing up there, Tripp?
How's this surfing if there are no waves?
I actually don't even see why he still lives at home.
I admire the confidence.
I admire the confidence.
I am acutely aware
I am getting this polka dot chair. I've got my own money.
I am so proud of you, Son.
I am the worst person in the world.
I appreciate you staying for dinner, all right?
I assume this technique has worked in the past?
I beg your pardon?
I believe everybody needs to walk their own path,
I believe it's because your life
I believe that. But what do I know about you?
I bought it a couple of years ago from my mom.
I called Animal Control, and you know what they said?
I called you all here together because obviously we have a situation.
I can honestly say that, because of you,
I can't believe it. How'd you do it? Dougie's a sweet kid, but...
I can't do it.
I can't have that in my body.
I can't see her face. Do you have any other angles?
I come here to relax.
I could get out of those ropes.
I cry, he cries.
I did, too.
I didn't have ice cream.
I didn't know they sold beer here.
I didn't know you were home.
I didn't need to see a doctor.
I didn't see anything.
I didn't want you to go.
I didn't want you to leave because
I do not want to feel...
I do sleep well at night.
I don't get it. How does the dog fit into it?
I don't get it. How does the dog fit into it?
I don't hear anything.
I don't know where I...
I don't know why you're whining about this one.
I don't know, beer, wine, chips, rum.
I don't know, I guess because she couldn't fix him,
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. And he...
I don't know. I'm so hungry I can't think. Seagulls ate my lunch.
I don't know. It's not my boat.
I don't really want a new boat.
I don't sleep much.
I don't think this counts as a first date.
I don't usually like reality TV shows, but this is so emotional.
I don't want to hear it.
I feel a little bit bad because I kind of implied to Paula
I fell into a deep, dark crevasse. I was so scared.
I figured. Obviously not a normal chipmunk.
I found a woman I cared about, and she turned out to be a total fraud.
I get sad sometimes, too.
I got great boat shoes.
I got him!
I got it. I got it. Look at this, look at this.
I got shoes for the next time Tripp and I go sailing.
I gotta pee.
I gotta say, I like what you've done with the place.
I gotta tell you something.
I guarantee you will not be thinking about the late, great Mr. Fritz.
I guess I was overly confident.
I guess what I'm saying is, it is time for Tripp
I had a nice time.
I had fun.
I had no idea that he was going to bring me over here.
I had some cream at home that I put on it.
I hate this.
I have a BB gun.
I have a yellow Lab!
I have an announcement to make here.
I have fiduciary responsibilities to uphold.
I have rights, too, you know.
I have to break up with Tripp. I'm terminating my contract, and...
I helped tie the knots.
I installed 27 cameras that cover every inch of the apartment.
I just clean their teeth and chop their balls off.
I just feel really close to you.
I just think you should know that Tripp has had some rough breaks.
I just touched his hand.
I keep replaying it over and over in my mind. I just...
I know a lot of other things. Give me the gun!
I know that nothing can,
I know we all feel some responsibility, but this isn't about blame,
I know. He's always wanted one.
I know. I'm pretty excited about it.
I learned to make them in Maui. These really chase your troubles away.
I like to come home to a nice place.
I looked it up.
I love love. Look, I've had a lot of girlfriends, right?
I love...boats.
I mean it. I think you crazy kids have a shot.
I mean you can't build a house without a hammer!
I mean, come on, what girl wouldn't want to be with you?
I mean, he's getting kind of old,
I mean, how does one get into that field?
I mean, I can only hope that I'm going to be able to give my kids,
I mean, it's my house.
I mean, look at her, she's a boat. She's wood.
I mean, look at you, and look at me.
I mean, sure, he technically still lives at home.
I mean, the entire amount of time we spent together was just a big scam.
I mean, what are you gonna do until you figure it out?
I mean, you don't brush an Irish setter...
I mean, you want to talk about a friend, man,
I met a guy today, too.
I need to buy a gun. How much is this big gun here?
I never meant to hurt you.
I once knew a specialist used to send some of his patients to me.
I say bring it on!
I smell fun.
I smell something.
I take it you like Japanese food.
I take it you're over your dead golden retriever.
I teach special needs kids.
I think that guy just laughed at me. Who are these guys?
I think that I can have your son moved out of this house
I think that I can have your son moved out of this house
I think this would have totally helped.
I think those pants make you look fat, but in a sexy...
I think what we're trying to say is that the two of us are happy
I think you're getting the nod.
I thought it was going to be, but I just kind of breezed right through it.
I tried to end it.
I want to feel the wind.
I want to make the wind, okay? Look...
I wanted all of that.
I was doing fine before you showed up.
I went through all the CDs, but if you end up with some of mine
I wish I could talk to guys like that.
I wonder how they're doing.
I... Oh!
I'd probably recommend something a little, you know...
I'll be gone in a couple of weeks.
I'll give you a Canadian goose.
I'll make you walk home.
I'll meet you here.
I'll pass.
I'll think about it. Thanks for your time.
I'm a rambling man. I'm a tumbleweed. I'm a seeker of truth.
I'm also gonna order a huge dessert, drink too much,
I'm coming!
I'm giving her space, Mr. Axelrod.
I'm going after her.
I'm going down below.
I'm going to get you a flotation device, okay?
I'm gonna go help Dad.
I'm gonna go mow the lawn.
I'm gonna let you get back to feeding your fish.
I'm gonna miss you.
I'm happy. Are you happy?
I'm hungry.
I'm just asking, 'cause, you know, maybe we could all get together.
I'm just trying to say, you should be very proud of him.
I'm looking around this table, hombres, and I see three winners.
I'm lucky to still be here.
I'm moving back to Colorado.
I'm not gonna go anywhere.
I'm not gonna sell you this gun.
I'm not understanding. You want Paula to move in here?
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm paying for it. I'll stare if I want to.
I'm returning it. I know it doesn't fix anything.
I'm sailing.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm so sorry!
I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
I'm sorry I slammed the door on your face.
I'm sorry that I pointed out to you that you fell in love with a client
I'm sorry, miss, you're not allowed to eat that in the store.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! Excuse me.
I'm sorry. Was I sipping too loudly for you?
I'm sure there's some reason that you turned out to be a soul sucking,
I'm telling you as a friend.
I'm telling you, I'm getting really excited about this.
I'm truly blessed.
I'm used to having you here.
I've got him.
I've lived upstairs since I was three, and it's been great.
I've never actually been on a sailboat before.
If he has any,
If I don't get the nod, the friends undermine.
If I never set foot on solid ground again.
If I've gotta recline, I'm making it interesting.
If more people thought that way...
In fact, I think tomorrow I'm gonna let him teach me something.
In the same house I grew up in.
In your mother's basement?
In...
Is 'cause he's getting ready to dump them.
Is a bag of Mint Milanos.
Is fundamentally at odds with the natural world.
Is in his heart.
Is it two years? Is it six years?
Is right behind you.
Is that a problem?
Is the medication wearing off?
Is there anything I can do to help?
Is there anything that we need to do?
Is there...
Is this how it's gonna be? 'Cause your note says,
Is this really okay? 'Cause I don't want to intrude on family time.
Isn't this great, guys?
It seems like it would be hard on her.
It totally bonds us.
It wants you to get in. Come on. Get in the car, Tripp.
It was a lousy thing to do.
It was a rewarding and successful work day. That's all.
It was just time for her to meet the parents.
It was last night. We were in a restaurant.
It would be a date if you asked me to have a drink tonight.
It's a classic American novel. How do you not know this?
It's a lifestyle.
It's a mockingbird.
It's an ethical problem.
It's bad enough I have to go out with a loser who still lives with his mom,
It's beautiful!
It's been amazing!
It's called failure to launch. And that's where I come in.
It's called the finger roll. Quick fingers, light on the trigger.
It's Friday.
It's got nice lines.
It's just kind of a weird job.
It's just not fair.
It's like a hotline.
It's like you're connected, you know, to the original seafaring people
It's like you're part of something, you know?
It's Melissa. Okay. All right.
It's not bad, it's just fun. Jibe ho!
It's not like I don't know what I'm doing.
It's okay to cry. We'll turn around.
It's over. She's gotta go.
It's practically narcotic.
It's that goddamn bird outside my goddamn window.
It's Thursday.
Jeffrey is a boy whose mother was gonna marry Tripp,
Jim.
Joyful,
Just 'cause it's a big idea, and...
Just a little fur ball.
Just came by to get some stuff. What are you doing?
Just came by to pick up some clothes.
Just have too much stuff going on in my head. Is that the same thing?
Just know that I'm going to be having an affair within the next six months.
Just remember to turn them inside out.
Just, you know, just...
Killing one is a crime.
Kind of like daylight savings time?
Kit! What are you...
Know that you could go around the world
Labrador retriever killing harpy.
Let it go, guys.
Let's check with Miss Paula, see if she needs anything.
Let's check, shall we?
Let's go for a walk.
Let's go shoot some strangers, huh?
Let's go!
Let's go! Go, go, go, go!
Let's just call it even, okay?
Let's stay on point here, huh? We're picking out chairs.
Like a buffer, you know? Somebody to talk to
Like she does most nights.
Like the Chinese?
Like with Luke gets to the cave, and he asks Yoda what's in there,
Like, then I touched... We touched hand.
Listen,
Listen, can we talk?
Listen, I am so sorry.
Listen, I say there's no downside. They already hate each other.
Listen, if you want to go, that's okay.
Listen, listen, I'll be right back.
Listen, sunshine, I'm not
Look at him. How many chances is he gonna get?
Look at me.
Look how peaceful he is.
Look into my eyes.
Look, I am still in control.
Look, I don't see why it's so complicated.
Look, I've been all over the world.
Look, many young men who should be able to move out, simply can't.
Look, Paula, this has to stop.
Look, this is insane.
Look!
Look! Look! The BB.
Look.
Make off this sheet, like so.
Man, she's got good spatial awareness.
Man, this shirt feels like it weighs 100 pounds.
Maybe a collapsed lung, a bruised sternum.
Maybe a Royal's Number One foam finger.
Me, either.
Meeting the friends is very important.
Met a girl? Tripp meets a new girl every week.
Might be. What's she draw?
Might mow the neighbor's, too.
Mockingbirds are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Mom, Dad, this is Paula.
Mom?
Mom. Pop. Sweetie.
More paintballs in less time means victory.
Move in with your parents?
Move in with your parents?
Mr. Fritz was my best friend
My bad.
My bad.
My grandparents give my baby sitter money
My job was manipulative and deceitful.
My mom thinks it's her dog, but I do all the work.
My teacher, Miss Kramer, has a girlfriend.
Nah.
Next thing I know, she gives me the look.
Nice.
Night, Pop.
No harm, no foul, though.
No offense.
No suit.
No, I don't think that I did that.
No, I just need my 20 minutes.
