The movie: Take Me Home Tonight
The menu: McDonalds. Well, just for me actually. Everyone else had a late lunch and didn’t want dinner!
Wow. This movie. Let’s just say that I know how to pick an instant classic! I actually couldn’t even remember the title of the movie so I had to imdb Topher Grace in order to see what the title was… *that’s* how much this movie made an impact on me.
And I’m just going to steal imdb’s quote about this movie too “Four years after graduation, an awkward high school genius uses his sister's boyfriend's Labor Day party as the perfect opportunity to make his move on his high school crush”. It was set in the 80s but it didn’t really need to be. I was looking forward to seeing Anna Faris but she was in it for about two seconds. I actually preferred her storyline and wished I could have seen more of it. Thank goodness for Topher Grace who had enough charm and likeability to make this movie slightly watchable. Oh and there was also a dance off and if there’s a dance off in a movie that is played for laughs, it’s pretty much my favourite thing ever. That helped too.
Recommended? This is actually a big moment for me and “Blu Ray Tuesday reviews”. This is the first time I am NOT recommending a movie. Even though this movie clocks in at a short and sweet 97 minutes, I still wouldn’t recommend it- and normally I’d recommend something bad because it’s short and it’s not going to steal your life away from you if you watch it. I do have one addendum though. If you’re a Topher Grace fan, then I think you might like it. But you’d have to REALLY like him.

Sometimes a short movie can last for hours if it's bad enough! Hopefully next Tuesday's movie won't steal vital moments of your time away. :)
I decided last night I'm absolutely not going to pick movies for family viewing any more because I inevitably pick dreadful, weird, or immensely profane ones, then I spend the entire time apologising to everyone else for my bad choice!
hooray for macdonalds! i <3 their yummylicious wraps :)

I might end up doing a countdown calendar. Yesterday was just so terrible, but I did as you said and did no schoolwork last night and went to bed early. So now I'm ready to take on today!
