Ever since I saw the trailer for V for Vendetta I just knew I had to see it. Now that I have, I simply can't wait for it to come out on DVD. I will buy it straight away! And that is something I don't say that easily..
This film is equal in originality and beauty. The story of the mysterious hero ''V'' who tries to make the people see just who their government really is and that they should take their lives in their own hands again and his new-found accomplice Evey is highly interesting to watch. Also, you feel for all the characters right from the start. Due to the deliciously evil John Hurt, who plays the vicious high chancellor Sutler, it is without problems you will find yourself siding with the rebels in no time.
The manner in which the story is told is very intense, making sure you are right there in the middle with the characters. It's like a puzzle; pieces start falling in the right places piece by piece; filling you in on the plot when the time's right. This film also is utmost pleasant to watch because of the way it was shot. The colours (uniforms, flags, symbols and so on) and the objects hidden inside the hide-out of our hero ''V'' are amazing and the entire feeling of the story is simply breath-taking.
As much as acting is concerned; the wonderfully cast Hugo Weaving delivers a stunning and very impressive role as ''V'' and also Natalie Portman, who I have always liked on screen, shows her true talent as the young, innocent Evey who learns that sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in, no matter what. I also immensely enjoyed the sadly, brief- performance of Stephen Fry, who played Evey's boss Gordon Dietrich.
The action sequences with ''V'' are also very much worth mentioning. It is nice to see how his personal style, motivation and play on words were used to create this effect, and, very important, without looking overly dramatic.
I can honestly say even the way ''V'' and Evey felt about each other at the end of the film, left me with a bit of a chill and somewhat teary eyes. Although it was very clear they could never be together it was nice to see ''V'' had learned about the importance of hope and love in his quest for vengeance.
Therefore, I can only highly recommend this film to anyone out there. By an instant it has become one of my all-time favourites and I am sure you will enjoy this film as much as I do.

I know this might sound silly because it's 'just' a romantic comedy, but still.. the depth of the story, the timing, the way the plot evolved, the lines each of the characters had.. it had something special about it!! The acting was good, too. Which is, I feel, not always the case with films like these. The producers tend to shove the ''romance'' in your face or try to be funny at moments when it's just not appropriate. Not with Failure, I'm happy to report. ^^ Matthew is fun to watch as the thrill-seeking, (good-looking!!) from love hiding macho, with a secret you find out at the very end. And Sarah just shines in her role as professional love-superhero, with some quite good scenes, such as the paint ball game.
Also the side-characters have enough to say! Finally! I'm getting so sick of them just being there to help their best friend, the main character. But in Failure they have actual personalities and interests. Phew.. Took long enough! :) For me this is one of the best films in its genre I have ever seen. It is on the level of ''How to lose a guy in ten days'', ''Sweet Home Alabama'' and ''The Wedding Planner''.
Though the idea for this film; get the over-aged thirty something teen out of the family home by hiring an attractive woman to pose as his girlfriend, this film is not predictable in the least and has, in my opinion, much to offer; from moments you completely give in to laughter to moments where you just get wrapped up in the love story..
I saw this film with a friend of mine, and he agreed it was a very amusing and original thing to see. He told me he really enjoyed watching it, as did I. Although he is more of an action-type film fan. I really do think Failure To Launch is attractive for all people out there who want to have a good time and leave with enough good moments on screen to think and talk about at home.
I give this a pretty perfect nine because I loved it so much! For me: 4 out of 5 stars.
