About Failure to Launch

Tripp, a charming and successful man in his thirties, remains comfortably ensconced in his childhood home with his parents, Al and Sue. His friends, Demo and Ace, share a similar aversion to leaving the nest, seemingly content with their prolonged adolescence. However, Al and Sue are increasingly concerned about Tripp's lack of independence. They discover that some of their friends, whose adult son has finally moved out, achieved this milestone by hiring a professional interventionist. Intrigued, Al and Sue decide to enlist the help of a 'launch specialist' to nudge Tripp towards a life of his own, hoping to finally enjoy their empty nest.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
