Take Me Home Tonight (2011)



Genre: Comedy

Average NetFlix Rating: 3.6 Stars

Synopsis: From the writers of "That '70s Show" comes this retro dramatic comedy set a decade later, in the financial boom of the late 1980s, about a recent college grad trying to figure out what to do with his life. Amid the goings-on at a raucous Labor Day party, brilliant but underemployed Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) learns a slew of lessons about life and love in this ensemble-cast film starring Anna Faris, Dan Fogler and Teresa Palmer.

This movie is terrible...NOT! Every so often a movie comes along that's just fun from start to finish, this is one of those movies. There's not much to it, it's basically just a compilation of 5-7 minute scenes that all cut together to show you what happens to 4 friends at an awesome-to-the-max party. So what makes this better then all the other movies that have the same plot?? First of all, it's not all sex jokes and drug gags. There are some scenes with real emotion and real substance, and it's all done very well. Hello Anna Farris - who knew you could actually act?? I was pleasantly surprised! If that doesnt peak your interest then add to it that it's 1988...and you've got magic! Now dont have a cow, buy I have to admit I love everything 80s and most of my enjoyment of this movie were the quick moments when you see a Suncoast Video or hear someone say "Gag me with a spoon" or get some crimped side ponytail action. It's a comedy but don't expect to laugh out loud from start to finish - it's more a smile from ear to ear and chuckle kind of flick... and if your still not sure then maybe this music video will help - it's an radical mash up of 80s iconic moments and really sets the tone for the entire movie...I found 42 80s references can u find more??


Where Should I Put It In My Q? Average person - put it towards the top, children of the 80s or just people who loved the 80s either put it in the #1 spot or just go buy it and TAKE it HOME TONIGHT haha
