This was much better than I was expecting. Not a classic by any stretch but you have to like Topher's character.

>"You haven't really failed, son, because you haven't really tried to succeed. So don't credit yourself as a failure." I am surprised no one talks about this movie. It is a fun "what am I going to do with my life" 80's movie. Back then you had no smartphones and internet to look everything up so you can be whatever you want to be.. just for one night.

I absolutely adore movies like this. A few drinks, throw one of these on and you're transported back to nostalgia-o-clock.

A wonderfully campy ‘80s period comedy, Take Me Home Tonight is hilariously entertaining. The story follows a video store clerk named Matt Franklin who gets a second chance to win over his old high school crush when he learns that she’s going to a local Labor Day party. Featuring Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, and Teresa Palmer, the film has a strong cast that’s able to bring the comedy. The ‘80s aesthetic is brilliantly done, and completely encapsulates the energy and style of the period without being gaudy or meta. Additionally, the soundtrack is outstanding and gives the film personality. Take Me Home Tonight is a sincere romantic comedy that’s a lot of fun.

It's neither particularly funny nor interesting. ps. If Pratt had played like that in Guardians of the Galaxy, he probably wouldn't have made a career... ;)
