Description

Matthew McConaughey is Tripp, a 35 year-old who still lives with his parents. And who can blame him? It's free, he's got a great room, and mom (Kathy Bates) does the laundry. Desperate to get him out of the house, his parents hire a gorgeous woman, Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), to give him a little...push. They just didn't expect Tripp would push back! Zooey Deschanel, Terry Bradshaw and Alias' Bradley Cooper co-star in this romantic battle of wills that proves there's no place like home.

    I felt Matthew McConaughey's (Tripp) acting was pretty good, but Sarah Jessica Parker (Paula) lacked a show of affection she felt for him in the film. I think she was a poor choice for this movie and seemed to fake. Although that's the role she is supposed to play as a character, even at the end I felt she was overly bubbly and it was just plain bad acting. I think she's done better. It was a good assortment of characters (Especially Zooey who I think added a great deal of laughs) I enjoyed the movie -- but the cast not so much.
  • GREAT!!!!!

    When I 1st saw this movie I loved it! The mix between romance and ingenious comedy played out by all the roles made this movie loveable.i also love Mattew because even though he does always play leads in romantic comedys I think he stars in those types because he's good at it. Although I love this movie you should probably try 2 rent before buying it because some people love it and others rely hate it.
  • FINALLY - Just realized why Bradley Cooper looked so familiar...

    I really enjoyed this movie, it's one that you like to watch every few months but that you probably won't remember word for word so there is an element of surprise per say. The comedy is wonderfully balanced with romance but not overly done. Terry Bradshaw was a great choice to pair up with someone I can only imagine as the ""Misery" -always dramatic" actress as Kathy Bates. My favorite part of the movie hands down is watching Zooey Deschanel in her spunky mood - it is hila-rious! I wish it was available to rent, but regardless it's great. Yes the main actors have had better movies but it's the supporting actors that won me over honestly. I'd give it a 4.5 if that was available but it's not, so I'm rounding up to a 5.
