Take Me Home Tonight

I Just In Love With A Young Teresa Palmer In This Being Fun-Fun To Rewatch Many Times😍

This is one of those stupid, sit there Smiling & laughing. Just have a good time, movies!!!

First, let me begin by stating right up front that, I really enjoyed watching this movie. From start to finish, I felt like it was 1985 all over again, and I was a kid in high school watching the latest John Hughes movie about kids in high school. But, don't worry dear readers of this review, "Take Me Home Tonight" isn't about high school in the 80's. Nope, instead the movie focuses on the lives of a group of LA 20 somethings, who haven't developed much past their high school and college years. And, are all still struggling to "Define Themselves" in the glorified cocaine fueled hedonistic time that is often referred to now as "The 80's".Which is one of the main reason this movie is rated a well deserved R, despite being a homage to the family friendly PG-13 feel good movies from the 80's. While most of the cocaine scenes were played for laughs with great effectiveness. However, there is one scene that takes place in the bathroom at a high rolling Beverly Hills party involving cocaine and sex that seemed WAAY too over top for what this 80's nostalgia film is supposed to be all about.I don't believe describing that one scene qualifies as a spoiler as much as it serves as a warning. I mean, for the first hour you're watching a real good 80's parody movie - with a heart - and a killer soundtrack. Then, suddenly and without much warning... BAM!! You're watching a demented 80's soft porno parody involving a 3 way with a Shannon Tweed wannabe, and the movies co-star, who are both high on cocaine, while the drag queens sicko' older boy friend gets aroused by watching the other two have rough sex. What!!??!! Where did that come from?(you might be asking yourself afterwards)Once again, not a spoiler, just an intended warning in case you're thinking about watching this feel good 80's parody movie with your family or young ones. "Take Me Home Tonight" is definitely not the "feel good" 80's movie that you saw as a kid but, more like that "feel good" 80's movie if John Hughes had adapted "Less than Zero" into a screenplay and directed the movie while high on cocaine. And, all the studio executive were so high that they never demanded that all the scenes involving three way cocaine bathroom sex be removed from the final cut, in order to insure a higher revenue generating PG-13 rating. In other words, it's that 80's "Feel Good" movie that never was, until now.In conclusion, despite that one Beverly Hills bathroom scene, I really enjoyed watching this movie with one other exception. They didn't include any Eddie Money songs, not even his biggest hit "Take Me Home Tonight" with the movies killer 80's soundtrack. How can you have a 80's nostalgia movie and not include the song, "Take Me Home Tonight" when your 80's nostalgia movie is called, "Take Me Home Tonight"? Put the song somewhere. Anywhere! Put the song at the end of the movie as the credits roll, it doesn't matter, but, you owe it to your audience to include that song.

Fun story about a group of highschool friends who attend a post-college, end-of-summer party and making career choices in the 80s.The moral of the story is, don't be afraid to take chances because you might not get a chance to do it later.

If your older and in your late 30s and 40s. You will love this movie. A classic acting film no big stun or action just plain acting and great music like many of the 80s films. Loved it.

Simple, fun, entertaining movie. Teresa Palmer was absolutely gorgeous. But the movie was cut which I hate. If I'm going to pay for a movie on Amazon I don't want to see a hacked version.

Hovering around 3.5 starsA bunch of post-college 23 years old in 1988 Los Angeles spend a wild day & night partying, chasing high school dreams and trying to figure out who they are & where they are goingGreat repore between Topher Grace & Anna Faris who are supposed to be twinsChris Pratt stands out as the jock, not-so-clueless rich kid who works for his fatherTeresa Palmer is the smart & former prom queen beauty who has been the obsession of Topher Grace since junior highGreat soundtrackFilmed in 2007, but not released until 2011. Its box office didn't cover the production costs. Not sure how it cost $19 million to make this film

Wouldn't watch it again, but it was funny enough to pass the time. Maybe this is more entertaining for the nostalgia aspect than the actual storyline.

Oh what a funny and entertaining watch. Funny as they come. Certainly took me back! Very enjoyable. J Counsell.
