I saw this at a screening today and I enjoyed the movie. I thought that all the leads did a good job, especially Topher Grace and Teresa Palmer. They had some good chemistry, and Topher does a good job of playing an uncomfortable guy at times in the movie... Its fun and engaging, so you don't notice the time passing. Also, it has an excellent 80s soundtrack, and even a message, which I won't give away so nothing is spoiled. All in all, a good time will be had by all who go who like these kinds of movies!

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.

I really enjoyed this movie.First Im a huge fan of Topher Grace since That 70s Show and In Good Company. (BTW In Good Company). He gives an excellent performance and along with the rest of the quality cast, the acting is just incredible.Also Im not going to get into the movie itself but its your classic feel good movie similarly to Breakfast Club, 16 Candles etc.If I had to describe it its Superbad but a lot more mature and tactful. It deals with a situation all of us have had. We all get to a point and go wtf am I going to do with my life. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Just focus on good friends, good family and the sheer enjoyment of life.Enjoy the watch.
