"Take Me Home Tonight" isn't anything original. However, that doesn't stop the movie from having some big laughs and a certain charm that does actually make you nostalgic for this kind of film.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 13, 2020

This unfunny comedy isn't worth leaving home for.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

Just a standard, dull pseudo-teen comedy that just happens to take place in the '80s.

| Original Score: D | Jun 23, 2013

| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2012

Take Me Home Tonight is a much deeper, dramatic movie than most give it credit for. And it's also a hoot, too - largely thanks to Dan Fogler and the amusing cameo appearances.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 29, 2012

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 17, 2011

Pap in service of wistfulness about a time period now thoroughly mocked to death.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 12, 2011

This 80s-nostalgic comedy relies too much on its big hair and bright clothes and not enough on getting inside the head of its characters.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 9, 2011

As enjoyable as the soundtrack and general nostalgia of this film is, it just doesn't rise above wannabe status.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 23, 2011

...a better-than-expected bit of '80s nostalgia...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 26, 2011

A tonally uneasy mish-mash of stale slapstick and naïve representations of drug use.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2011

Eddie Money deserves better than this.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 3, 2011

[Director] Dowse's film is so formula that it is aimlessly predictable...

| Jun 2, 2011

Grace is particularly wet, lacking the charisma or the charm to pull off the shy nerd-at-heart routine needed to convince you he could actually win the girl of his dreams.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 16, 2011

Not a journey to the end of the night that I'd recommend.

| May 15, 2011

This 1980s-set comedy was shot in 2007 and has been sitting on the shelf ever since. The damn thing's so old it's almost retro twice over.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 14, 2011

So bad, it's almost good... if certainly not great.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 13, 2011

80s nostalgia as a thing is so ten years ago... just about the time that the 33-year-old Topher Grace would have been the right age to play [this] just-out-of-college, I-dunno-what-to-do-with-myself whiner...

| May 13, 2011

It's a dispiriting mess throughout.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 13, 2011

Refreshingly, for a comedy of any decade, the characters are all likable, particularly Grace who gives his best performance since 2004's overlooked rom-com In Good Company.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 13, 2011
