Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker) has a highly unusual job: she's an interventionist. Parents of young men who are still living at home well into adulthood can hire her to date their sons, which lends the often troubled men the fortitude to strike out on their own. Trip (Matthew McConaughey) seemingly fits this description perfectly; a 35-year-old extreme sports enthusiast and boat salesman, he uses his living situation to quickly end any relationship that becomes too serious.

NOT A CHICK FLICK IT'S A MAN FLICK, MAKES A CHANGE FROM THE BORING GIRL FILMS MY OTHER HALF MAKES ME WATCH, GOOD FILM FROM START TO FINSH SOME LAUGH OUT LOUND MOMENTS, I THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A GO.
