Take Me Home Tonight (2011) Movie Review
If there are some recent movie releases which are so worth watching, then Take Me Home Tonight is one of them. For those who are about 40 year old or above will have some reminiscence once they watch this 80s comedy film produced by Relativity Media film production company. Taking Topher Grace as the leading actor, who is no doubt experienced in playing in such classics like his That’s 70 Show, Take Me Home Tonight delivers the problems of almost all young adults at that time in 80s and twists it into something fun.
Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is one of those young people having graduated from MIT who does not really know what he wants to be or do. People around him keeps telling him what he should become looking at what he’s good in. In fact, he only works in Suncoast Video. While his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris, the chosen actress playing her looks too much different from Matt, though it is his “sister”) is more certain about her life, applying for a graduate school in Cambridge and having long-time boyfriend.
On one occasion Matt meets again with his high-school crush Tori (played by Teresa Palmer, who, instead, really looks like Kristin Stewart). Like what will be done by the same kind of men who want to look “good” in front of their crushed women, Matt lies about his job. And in an instant, he thinks that Tori is the one that he really wants to pursue. Then he comes to the party which Tori attend, together with his best friend Barry (Dan Fogler) and his twin sister Wendy. There, all the madness of the 80s happens: wild party, strange music, dance, and sex, and it’s all reprensented in an interwoven story line.
