Went to see Failure to Launch last night... I haven't been to the movies for so long, so I was really looking forward to see this, even though it was trashed by most critics.
Matthew McConaughey plays a 35-year old man named "Trip", who still lives with his parents. His parents hires Paula(Sarah Jessica Parker), who is a specialist at getting grown men to move out of their parents' homes, to help them get rid of Trip. The way Paula works is that she will first get men to fall in love with her, boost up their self-esteem, then motivate them to move out of their parents' house.
The story is absolutely ludicrous, the dialogs are bad, the editing is not very good, and overall the movie kinda sucked. However, I did have a good time. Just watching McConaughey was fun enough for my girl friend and I. We were totally kicked back, relaxed, and giggly throughout the entire movie. There were a lot of laughs, a lot of "oooooo"s and "awwww"s too, so I guess it can be count as a satisfactory romantic comedy. But then, the margaritas we gulped down just before the movie must have helped a lot too. :)
http://wintervalley.blogspot.com/2006/04/failure-to-launch.html最近看过的爱情片里,当数这部最无聊。不知道是不是和心情有关,总之一点也没调动起我的情绪。情节干巴巴不流畅;没有真感情;无聊的桥段;配戏的那群男女朋友毫无亮点,男女主角感觉演得太内敛,放不开,演技且差且假且长得难看;说是喜剧,一个半小时内我一秒钟也没笑出来,寡淡无味。高潮部分的大屏幕彩电和围观众人是上世纪九十年代的桥段,很牵强很无趣。尤其不喜欢杰西卡那张老脸。票房过亿是真的吗?那我真要好好怀疑一下美国人如今的幽默感了。噢,干嘛还浪费这么多时间来发牢骚,直接看下一部好了
爱情喜剧,多年没有《哈利遇见莎莉》这样的佳作了。多的是一部部肤浅挠痒痒型的俊男美女阳光烂片,莎拉•杰茜卡•帕克成名之后,已经变成了大龄青年婚姻问题的Icon,只要她出现,你大致就能猜到这电影是讲什么的了。
马修•麦康纳在这部电影里扮演一个35岁还赖在家里的大男,不结婚,也不搬走。莎拉•杰茜卡•帕克则是一个专门帮父母赶走这些寄生虫的策划顾问,就看这没谱的职业,你就知道这电影多不靠谱了。
再加上环视左右,发现我身边类似情况的同事,朋友也不少,我说话还是小心一点为好。诸君也请勿自动对号入座,如有雷同,请骂编剧。我个人是认为跟父母一起住没什么啦,哦,呵呵。
导演Tom Dey,《上海正午》那个,已经充分证明自己在喜剧题材之上的无能了。马修•麦康纳也要小心,别接太多喜剧,你看Owen Wilson,已经快回不来了……
对Sarah很有感觉,虽然真的不觉得她有倾城之姿。喜欢这类的家庭伦理爱情喜剧元素参杂在一起的片子,虽然明知道评分不会高,而且在所谓艺术上也没有什么搞头,就是一般的商业片,但是还是很喜欢,轻松,温馨,像家常饭一样,舒服:)
美国人还是有独立生活的习惯的,18岁后还住在家里是要向父母交房租的。而这种自主的生活习惯,也使得他们的生活丰富多彩,当你在酒吧里花天酒地时,其实你的父母并不比你过得乏味多少。
而在中国则大相径庭,大多数的父母盼着子女见天的陪着自己的,当做了一桌好菜后接到子女无法前来的电话后,中国家长的沮丧溢于言表。换作美国,也许会马上开一瓶香槟,对老伴说,“honey,今晚咱们可以二人世界了。”
真的应该好好感谢自己的父母,老人为子女所付出的心血实在是很大,即使是已经独立生活了,遇上个刮风下雨,总有好几通电话候着,记得关窗、加件衣裳、注意感冒。真是可怜天下父母心呀。
Zooey那姑娘真可爱~
配角超过主角~结尾很弱~~
不翻条目我都忘了原来Matthew和SJP早在《欲望都市》的第三季就对过一次戏了~所以看起来并没有如此不熟的感觉。小鸡片型态下,老爱演各种王老五单身汉的Matthew真是宝啊,看一部就珍惜一部。两人都是讨人喜欢的主,所以有不错的票房其实也不意外。Zooey妹子演的Kit,很酷很好玩,为影片增色不少。
没有想象中的无聊,觉得还挺有意思的,弄假成真的戏路虽然老套,但是再这片子里很值得一看,挺温心的!
今晚最后一条了。多谢电影台,多谢CCAV,多谢情人劫,晚安

很牵强很无趣。尤其不喜欢杰西卡和马修那两张老脸。票房过亿是真的吗?
