	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"American Graffiti filtered through Dazed and Confused and the Shermer High films of John Hughes (...) Take Me Home Tonight captures a moment in time with sly affection (...) Rating: ★★(out of four)"	NEU
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"'Take Me Home Tonight' is a time capsule from the heyday of John Hughes and Cameron Crowe, when comedies allowed their characters to be human as well as humorous (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer	"Nostalgia for the '80s - big hair, Madonna, cocaine, big hair, Duran Duran, more cocaine - is all well and good. Unless it's practiced with the charmless ineptitude of 'Take Me Home Tonight.'"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A tediously unfunny comedy"	NEG
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"Not a journey to the end of the night that I'd recommend."	NEG
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"Completely unoriginal, sure, but watchable and even likable"	POS
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"It tries hard, but it always falls short."	NEU
