If you didn't know any better, you'd actually think you were watching an 80s movie with Take Me Home Tonight. While not delivering the strong emotional depth of a John Hughes film, it still possesses the same qualities in its zany humor, incredible retro soundtrack and at its heart as Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) leaves his position at a lab and much to his father's disapproval begins working at a video store where Matt's young life crisis takes a bigger turn when his twin sister (Anna Faris) gets engaged, his best friend (Dan Fogler) gets fired from his job and Matt's high school crush, Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer),comes back into his life. In true, hilarious 80s fashion, the ensemble is thrust into a crazy night of partying, mischief and self-discovery. It is a simple, unoriginal story that seems almost contained, but yet is this great adventure with characters you feel a connection to. With what seems like the perfect cast, it is only a movie of this styling (a homage to the great films of the 80s) that can have absolutely no point and still be enjoyable. From the awkward moments to those that are more sentimental, this film is just a fun time that is more or less forgettable but you have a great time with it!

Matt (Topher Grace) and Wendy (Anna Faris) are twins living in the Los Angeles area. Matt, a graduate of M.I.T., is afraid to take chances and has wound up working in a video store. On the other hand, Wendy has aspirations to be a writer but has a very controlling boyfriend. She thinks she loves him and can make sacrifices for their future. A close friend of the two, Barry (Dan Fogler) is an very odd duck, who has just gotten fired from his job as a car salesman. Now, the girl of Matt's high school dreams, Tori (Teresa Palmer) walks into the mall where his store is located. She has come back for a party that their class is throwing. Thinking quickly, Matt goes out the back and into the front of the store, pretending to be a customer, like Tori. During small talk, he tells her he works for Goldman-Sachs and is an investment banker, like she is. They both end up later at the wild party but how long can Matt keep up his deception? This is a lame film, underwhelming in everything but its cast, which is talented. However, the story, direction, photography and all other movie aspects are less than average indeed. Even romcom fans, like me, will be upset at its crudeness and general ineptitude. So, don't take it home unless you are that proverbial glutton of punishment or a fan of Grace.

Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) was a high school nerd who went to MIT and return home to work at the mall. High school hottie Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) walks into his store, and he invents a job at Goldman Sachs. His best friend Barry (Dan Fogler) is a car salesman but gets fired after 7 years in his hated job. His twin Wendy (Anna Faris) is considering going to Cambridge for her masters. She's just not sure that her boyfriend Kyle (Chris Pratt) will come with her. Then all the high school people reunites at Kyle's big party.

It's a little sad that Matt is working at the mall, but the saddest thing is the ridiculous lie. It's sad because it was never going to work. She works at investment banking so he just repeats the same thing. It is so embarrassingly stupid that the movie never fully recovers. He went to MIT so he could have said he worked at IBM or something like that. This is 80s nostalgia looking for more appealing characters.
