# Failure To Lunch



[Matthew Mahogany](Matthew_Mahogany)\-era romcom whose [poster](https://web.archive.org/web/20211130122321/http://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/movieposters/160442/p160442%5Fp%5Fv8%5Faa.jpg) featured the definitive Mahogany Lean.

[James King](James_King) pointed out it was a [Film Reviewed By Its Own Title](Film_Reviewed_By_Its_Own_Title).

The movie took its alternative title from a mistake by an Odeon near listener Tim - who added that the change "says it all." (A similar mistake by a cinema that was offering a screening of "Dead Clam" would later lead to the [misprint game](Misprint_game)).

When Mark first heard that Matthew McConaughey was starring in a film called Failure To Launch, he envisioned it to be a movie about erectile dysfunction. It is a shame that that wasn't true, as Mr Mahogany appearing in a film about an inability to get wood would have been pleasingly ironic.
