5 Movies That Turned Out To Be Mostly About Matthew McConaughey's Abs

1. Failure To Launch (2006)

Failures Where do we start? For those of you that don't know, Failure To Launch is about one man-child's effort to stay living with his parents and doing sit-ups, while a woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) with the most niche and unsustainable job ever tries to trick him out of parental home-life by using her "good" looks. Though this turn from Matthew does features the required amount of ab-time, the film is more a testament to the theory that if you have good abs you don't have to grow up. Maybe they're right - just look at Zac Efron. There isn't much else to say about this. The story is pointless, which means that Matthew McConaughey's abs are once again the main selling point - that and Sarah Jessica Parker's "attractiveness". In conclusion: do some stomach crunches and all your dreams will come true. Did we miss any movies that effectively just boil down to Matthew McConaughey's abs in glorious high definition for 90 plus minutes? Probably not, but share your own picks below if you think of any...
