SummaryRecent MIT grad Matt Franklin should be working for a Fortune 500 company and starting his upward climb to full-fledged yuppie-hood. Instead, the directionless 23-year-old confounds family and friends by taking a part-time job behind the counter of a video store at the Sherman Oaks Galleria.

It's funny enough, and Grace is an engaging actor, always making a good impression but never quite getting over the hump to become the star it seems like he ought to be.

I don't begrudge Take Me Home Tonight or the whole "I Love the Eighties" juggernaut its fight for its right to party, but there is something touchingly off-base about it.

Grace and his collaborators set out to make a typical '80s sex comedy and succeeded all too well; most of the movies they're paying homage to weren't very good, either.

Michael Dowse's aggressively unfunny film which seeks the lowest common denominator in nearly every scene.

Take Me Home Tonight isn't nearly as much fun as the '80s actually were. Even worse, it's less fun than most '80s comedies were - and that's bad.

"Take Me Home Tonight , proves to live up to its main premise , laugh out loud hilarity , Topher Grace and Dan Fogler steal the show in what is sure to be remember as one of the funniest comedies this year had to offer. One film that should not be missed" .. A

I did not want to see this movie, because it really seemed like just another film about people being idiots at a party, and that's pretty much what it was, with two major exceptions. First, it was set in 1984, and it was really cool to see the lengths they went to, to keep everything as accurate as they could. Second, both Topher Grace and Anna Faris were a breath of fresh air. It's hard to bring anything new to a film like this, which is evident by characters like Dan Fogler's, which was stale and predictable. Grace and Faris on the other hand really had great chemistry and add a unique dynamic to the typical drunken loser genre. Take Me Home Tonight isn't going to win any awards, but it was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be.

Another fun comedy with a pretty strong cast. Grace does a good job as the non-committal genius and once again, Fogler steals the show. This film hearkens back to the old day 80s and it features some of that particular era's most remembered music. All in all, this was a good film worthy of a rental price.

Will this ever stop ? Guys being depicted as clueless dorks, and women who take the lead ? Must be frustrating for women as well, to constantly see men without a backbone, behaving like children.
