TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT

RYAN: I was primarily interested in seeing this movie because of Anna Faris. She’s so cute and funny.

CAROLINE: I missed the screening for this one and while I enjoy her too, I thought the bigger draw would be all the 80’s stuff.

RYAN: Yes, the music, the costumes, the hair was all very funny to remember the 80’s.

CAROLINE: Was it a fun movie, overall?

RYAN: A little bit. It’s weird because it’s very much a John Hughes movie, in a way, or at ripping off from or paying homage to his work. But not in the refreshing way Easy A did last year.

CAROLINE: So it’s not that good.

RYAN: No. It’s pretty lame. It has some cute moments and the soundtrack is great but it’s still lame. Basically, they tried to make an 80’s movie for today’s audience and I don’t think it worked.

CAROLINE: Not even for those of us who remember the 80’s apparently…

RYAN: Right. And Anna was completely underused.

CAROLINE: That’s too bad. Remember this movie was also made four years ago.

RYAN: That’s always really bad sign… when they can’t figure out when or how to distribute a film… not good.

CAROLINE: How’s Topher Grace and the rest of the cast?

RYAN: He’s fine, average. And then there’s the hot Aussie girl, Teresa Palmer, who was just in I Am Number Four and that fat actor Dan Fogler.

CAROLINE: Nice.

RYAN: Shouldn’t he be cast sometime as the brother of either Zach Galifianakis or Jonah Hill?

CAROLINE: Yes.

— BOTTOM LINE —

RYAN: Definitely not worth the cash or the time to check it out. Some very brief comedic moments, and a bit of nostalgia but just not that entertaining.
