Take Me Home Tonight is a 2011 American retro comedy film directed by Michael Dowse and starring an ensemble cast led by Topher Grace and Anna Faris; prior to release the film was titled Young Americans and Kids in America. The screenplay was written by Jackie and Jeff Filgo, former writers of the television sitcom That '70s Show, of which Grace was a cast member.
Shooting began on the week starting February 19, 2007, in Phoenix, Arizona. The film received its wide theatrical release on March 4, 2011.
The title comes from the 1986 Eddie Money song of the same name, also played in the theatrical trailer. Despite having the same name, this 1986 song is never played in the film, though the song is included in the first trailer as well as the menu screen of the Blu-ray and DVD versions of the movie.
The film is set in 1988 Los Angeles. Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is a recent MIT graduate who works at a Suncoast Video store while trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life, something that his police officer father (Michael Biehn) has grown impatient with. While working one day, Matt's high school crush, Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) walks into the store. After pretending that he doesn't work there and saying that he works at Goldman Sachs in an effort to impress her, Tori invites Matt to a Labor Day party, hosted by Matt's twin sister Wendy's (Anna Faris) boyfriend, Kyle Masterson (Chris Pratt), at his hillside home.
