Have you seen the movie “Failure to Launch”? It was screened last year. I just watched it. If you have not watched it, I think you should. Let me tell you why...
The title of the show seems to suggest its some sci-fi flick, probably involving some rocket launch that gone bad. Apollo-13 sorta thing? No! Of cuz not... I am recommending it cuz its a nice show and partially due to the fact that I am a sucker for good romance comedy on any day.
Well as explained in the show, "failure to launch" is a term used to describe grown men who still live with their parents tho' they should have moved out, get married, set up their families or something. I suppose its western culture. Over here, these men are very filial sons!
Anyway, this show has a simple plot. Yes, good romance comedy should have simple plot. Lady hired to date guy so that he would move out. Guy fell in love at first sight. Perfect match. Lady fell in love for real. Big-mouth loser friends found out. Jackass guy with big ego pissed and dumped lady. Friends and family tried to bring them back together and ... Well I will leave the rest for you to find out. Don't wanna reveal the entire plot eh. Heh heh.
Anyway, simple plot is good, that's where the romantic and heart warming elements come in. That's what I love about romantic comedies! It's the things they do, the words they say, the appreciation of finer things in life, that deeply draw the viewers into their world. Both guys and gals should watch. Understand how to win a guy's heart. Its not sex. Understand how to win a gal's heart. Its not money. I must admit, lotsa nice things the show portrayed ain't quite affordable for us, eg. wine and boat, but the idea is there. You gotta see for yourself to get what I mean. There is always a sorta equivalent to achieve the same effect. And not every romantic gesture means digging deep into your pockets.
Finally, I suspect that another major reason why I like the show is the gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker. Go watch it! Erm, the dvd or something... =p
