VIDEO: "Take Me Home Tonight" Cast Reenact 80s Movies in Atomic Tom's "Don't You Want Me" Video

I haven't been hearing great buzz about Topher Grace's screenwriting debut Take Me Home Tonight. Apparently some people think it's a Hot Tub Time Machine-type rip-off. I thought the trailer was pretty funny and the cast of young comedians that range from Ana Faris to Demetri Martin is inspired. But what will get me to the theater March 4th aren't either of those things. I'll be forking over $13 for my love of 80s movies. One of the songs on the Take Me Home Tonight soundtrack is Atomic Tom's "Don't You Want Me" and the video is an homage to the decade's best films.
(Don't let the still fool you, it's totally safe for work.)

  1. Basketball movie is Fletch. Union movie is Norma Rae. You missed Can't Buy Me Love after Friday the 13th, riding a lawnmower with the cowboy hat.
