What happens when the perfect guy lives with his parents? Paula happens.
Tripp has been living in the upstairs of his parents house since he was born. He's managed to get a decent job and a good group of friends, but he's just failed to launch from the nest. After hearing about a couple who had a similar problem, but solved it with a program, Tripp's parents decided to give it a try. The program is simple; a beautiful young woman, Paula, comes into the life of the client making them feel confident and strong. The relationship the client has with Paula should make them ready to leave their parent's house by making them feel independent and ready to move on. Paula's success rate has been fantastic, and Tripp seems like an open and shut case. Unfortunately, things get a little hairy when Tripp blazes through Paula's process and she begins to form feelings for him. Tripp's friends begin to get suspicious of Paula when Ace, Tripp's best friend, sees Paula on a date with another man. Paula has to explain her process and purpose to Ace which starts to unravel the entire process. Tripp soon finds out and feels betrayed because he also began to feel something for Paula. Now both parties feel miserable, and something must be done.
Rom Com. Need I say more? I like the concept of this film because it puts the woman in a more powerful position than the man and almost victimizes the male in the relationship which is the reverse of many a rom com. I appreciate the risks. Though we all love SJP in her role in Sex in the City, it was good to have her outside of that setting, even though she played a similar character. Everyone is different and goes through processes at different rates, but it was an interesting concept to throw around.
