Watch Take Me Home Tonight For Free

Powerful

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The acting in this movie is really good.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Take Me Home Tonight is a 2011 romantic-comedy movie that I had been meaning to see for a long time but just didn't get to. I only wanted to see it for two reasons: it looked bad, and Teresa Palmer looked really hot on the poster. So last night I saw the movie, and it was a lot better than I expected. A lot of the jokes do fall flat, and the storyline is a little dumb, but that is to be expected. The characters and most of the dialogue were actually pretty good, and I found myself enjoying the movie.

"Take Me Home Tonight" deserves points for capturing that teen movie feel of a life-changing party; for the most part, at least. On a technical level, the '80s elements are pretty superficial; you could set this in the '90s or even today and it'd be the same story. As such, it owes something to "Can't Hardly Wait", and maybe some of the ennui from "The Graduate".What kinda surprised me is how some of the side players threatened to steal the movie (Demetri Martin, Anna Faris, and especially Michael Biehn).All that said, the period gags don't crash and burn like some recent movies, and it makes for a decent way to kill 90 minutes.6/10

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. Except, none of those John Hughes 80's movies about high school came anywhere close to what I (or anyone else that I knew) was actually experiencing while in high school.(but I digress) Don't worry dear readers of this review, "Take Me Home Tonight" isn't about high school in the 80's, but focuses instead on the lives of a group of LA 20 somethings, who haven't matured very 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 film is 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 drag queen - 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.Because, back in the 80's, unless the movie was specifically about drug abuse, then none of the main character did any drugs, accept drink lots of beer and smoke marijuana that is. Yet, cocaine was a multi-billion dollar a year black market product in the 80's. Go figure.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. I was really surprised about that.

80s teen/young adult comedies remain so popular that it's natural to think Hollywood would try and mine the genre for nostalgic purposes. Unfortunately most attempts to recapture the spirit of those films have failed.Unlike many such films, which often lapse into parody, 'Take Me Home Tonight' is clearly made as a loving tribute to the comedies of the era. As a result, it does a better job of recreating the unique spirit and feel of the 80s.The cast is appealing and clearly game, the script is serviceable and the attention to detail is good despite a few glaring anachronisms. If you're a fan of the genre and you're looking for something fresh, yet familiar, 'Take Me Home Tonight' should suffice.
