...menopausal. The flick also creates a batch of likeable secondary characters—including Tripp’s BFFs (Bradley Cooper, “Wedding Crashers” and Justin Bartha, “National Treasure”) and Paula’s slightly unhinged roommate (indie darling Zooey Deschanel of “The Good Girl”)—adding an intelligent quirkiness that helps “Failure to Launch” differentiate itself from McConaughey’s lesser mushy fare, like “The Wedding Planner.” Bottom Line...
