Movie review: take me home tonight (2011)

It is an interesting concept to make a ' 80s teen sex comedy in 2011 (or a few years earlier, since the film's release was delayed) and take me home Tonight "manages to touch on some of the magic of these films, while also preserving modernist comedy elements. The creators have stated that they wanted to make a movie that feels like it was done in the ' 80s, rather than just parodying the Decade, but the result changes back and forth between perform this goal and venturing toward the eccentric antics of day gross-out teenage comedies. R rating allows more colorful dialogue, little nudity and plenty of drug use, but the most satisfyingly humorous moments include not sex, drugs or its ' 80s option. Visually (and probably musically) best of the eighties, but strangely enough, the film would have been as efficient set in any era.

Although Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is now working on a Suncoast Video after graduating from MIT, and have no perspectives on his future career, is his greatest regret never obtain the phone number of his unrequited high school crush Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer). When a chance meeting with his dream girl allows him to join her on Kyle Masterson's (Chris Pratt), legendary Labor Day weekend party, Matt, his best friend, Barry (Dan Fogler), and his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris), navigate emerging adulthood through a night of wild partying, self reflection and second chances rocky revelations.

Master in the ' 80s teen comedy, John Hughes, employed, often a tactic where a moment of Laughter occurred after reflecting on the more serious revelations of growing up. In the take me home tonight using a contradictions approach-bouts of comedy are separated with stick kernel speculation regrets and failures. This often leaves a bitter taste for the conclusion of each event regardless of how comically it started and forces the Viewer to remember at ceremony. As a result, acquires the comedy a very darker feel than it deserves, in fact, as perhaps exactly resonates with earnest cocaine use and lying to women, but affect workers from laugh-out-loud appeal.

A few references to Hughes ' work and some paralleling ideas surface in take me home tonight, but the film may not quite understand the charm and sincerity its authentic predecessors. It does, however, still manage to function is a classic tale of a teenager finds his dream girl and accompany this with clever bits of comedy and stage-stealing over top exploits of funnyman Dan Fogler.
