Short description

Tripp, an attractive man in his thirties, is still living with his parents Al and Sue. Tripp's best friends Demo and Ace are also still living in their parents' homes and seem proud of it. Al and Sue are not happy, however, and are fascinated when friends whose adult son has recently moved away from home reveal they hired an expert to arrange the matter and couldn't be happier with the result.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The roles of Trippy and Paula were originally written for Zach Braff and Amanda Peet.
  • Matthew McConaughey's character invites Sarah Jessica Parker's character to a minor league baseball game. It's a home game for the New Orleans Zephyrs.
  • As Tripp discusses the advantages of sailing versus motor boating with a couple, the coffee cups in the characters' hands reveal one of the film's shooting locations: New Orleans. In 2006, coffee houses were common only in the state of Louisiana.
