Synopsis

In New York City, Thom is broke and jobless, illegally working as a taxi driver. Claire is a successful business-woman, but personally she's in shambles - then comes the phone call that her estranged father is in the hospital. Not knowing what to do, Claire hops in Thom's cab and orders him to just drive and so he does. They find themselves in Pennsylvania and Claire makes the rash decision to drive across the country to California. On the road, there are many detours as the obstacles and secrets force them to learn about themselves and each other.

Wai Feesch I watched this movie based on the generally strong reviews, but I was sourly disappointed and felt compelled to write a counterpoint. Whatever chemistry led the lead actors to marry in real life failed to translate to the screen. Their conversations are humorless and devoid of the charm that makes good romantic comedies compelling. The suspension of disbelief required to swallow the characters' evolution is just too much. Imagine learning someone is a murderer and shrugging it off (not that this exactly happens in the movie, but that's what it felt like).Amber's emotional range is mostly expressed via her hair style, and Sam.... Not an actor. Stick with directing.I found this movie to be sub par.
daniellepotter24 One of my favorite movies. Came across it on Netflix and instantly loved it! It doesn't rely on crazy Hollywood theatrics or crazy stunts. It has such a fun, different story line. But it's still relatable. I mean no ones gonna drive cross country in a cab, but we all go through heartbreak, loss, lying, and confusion that these characters are going through. It has such a good mix of many styles. It has great comedy. Some really funny one liners that had me laughing out loud numerous times. It's got some romance, without relying on sex like most Hollywood films. Some sadness that really makes you feel for the characters. Just all around great dialogues, great acting, great story, a great movie!
mjmazza I don't review things often unless I feel really compelled to. And this one compelled me. What a delightful film. The humor was on spot, but not heavy handed. The buildup of the relationship between these two was believable and I love how they handled themselves like adults would. I was bothered by one small scene in the beginning but the main character addresses it and apologizes for it later so I appreciated that. The leads have great chemistry which is probably partially due to them being married in real life, but (let's be honesty) at the same time we've all seen married couples have poor chemistry on screen too and so I think we can safely say their excellent acting played a big role too. I like road trip films/books/tropes and this one wasn't as predictable as I thought it was going to be. Sure there are a few expected tropes, but they were well done. This one was good enough for me to buy it to keep. It's one I can see lounging around and putting on during a lazy weekend. Highly recommended.
jordicn I got the same sensation when I watch for first time little miss sunshine or Juno, this one for me Take Me Home is the Indie Movie of the Year!I will not label it as Romantic Comedy at all, for me is a Road Movie with a very good script, good acting very good music ( had remember me Into The Wild, not because Eddie Vedder, more because was always on the right spot, driving you through the movie ) and awesome Sam Jaeger, directing for first time and lead actor.I'm a very disappointed that this movie didn't get more promotion, this is a movie that would break the box office if there were some good promotion from the distributors. For me the indie movie of the Year!
