    Take Me Home Tonight

    Release Date: March 4, 2011
    Studio: Relativity Media
    Director: Michael Dowse
    Screenwriter: Jackie Filgo, Jeff Filgo
    Starring: Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, Teresa Palmer, Michael Ian Black, Michelle Trachtenberg, Wade Allain-Marcus, Michael Biehn
    Genre: Comedy, Drama
    MPAA Rating: R (for language, sexual content and drug use)
    As the summer of 1988 winds down, three friends on the verge of adulthood attend an out-of-control party in celebration of their last night of unbridled youth. Starring Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler and Teresa Palmer, Take Me Home Tonight is a raunchy, romantic and ultimately touching blast from the past set to an awesome soundtrack of timeless rock and hip-hop hits. Recent MIT grad Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) should be working for a Fortune 500 company and starting his upward climb to full-fledged yuppie-hood. Instead, the directionless 23-year-old confounds family and friends by taking a part-time job behind the counter of a video store at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. But Matt's silent protest against maturity comes to a screeching halt once his unrequited high school crush, Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer), walks into the store. When she invites him to an epic, end-of-summer party, Matt thinks he finally might have a chance with the girl of his dreams. With his cynical twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris) and best friend Barry (Dan Fogler), Matt embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime evening. From stealing a car to a marriage proposal to an indescribable, no-holds-barred dance-off, these friends share experiences that will change the course of their lives on one unforgettable night in the Go-Go '80s.

    not much originality, they just used one of the main characters from 'That '70s Show' and combined it with elements from different 'party' movies

    attend an out-of-control party in celebration of their last night of unbridled youth.
    firstly, they were already 'under control' during youth and secondly, marriage is what you (but not alone) make of it, meaning it can be fun if you want to live it that way, if you choose fi. to remain a slave its your own fault

    notice also how they show the societal expectations (parental pressure) & in the dance scene (he is 'supposed to ask for the dance'), but the setting has nothing to do with ordinary people, we are supposed/instructed to sympathize with some rich(-to-be) kids (should be working for a Fortune 500 company , even the cop knows him) and desire their kind of wealth/money/status/activities, lured into believing how they share the same problems with everyone else - partially thats true, but lets not relativise it into absurdity/fantasy, eh?
