Review of Take Me Home Tonight (2011) by Marcdoyle — 05 Mar 2011

It's a fun movie - great 80's music (surprised to hear a little "Jet Fighter" from The Three O'Clock - played at my high school...). Yes, it's well-worn territory, but Barry, the friend, is hilarious and makes it for me.

Grace seems to play the same role in every movie, but he works in this one. The biggest surprise for me is Anna Farris. It's refreshing to see her in the smart girl role. Her relationship with her brother (Grace) is surprisingly nuanced for an 80's flick.

Angie Everhart is another pleasant surprise. So yeah, it's between a 5 and 6 for me, but I'd be loathe to recommend it to the masses.
