So not only does Take Me Home Tonight get the small details wrong — someone makes a Rain Man reference even though TMHT is set during Labor Day Weekend 1988 and Rain Man wouldn’t be seen for a few more months — it also fails to capture the charm and the laughs that we think of when we recall the great teen flicks of the 1980s.
