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.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
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.
GarethRockliffe You can deconstruct any artful endeavor, but at the end of the day there are some movies that are greater than the sum of it's parts. This is one of them. It was great to walk away feeling warm and fuzzy. The film managed that delicate balance of humor, sensitivity and poignancy...take risks and follow love in what you do and who you love. It's what feeds our soul!
erichultquist I signed up to IMDb just so I could write a review to say ho much we enjoyed this movie. We were ready to take our own road trip after seeing this gem, but with more than $83 in our pocket. As good as it was, it was even more fun to see the credits roll and see that the main characters are married in real-life (it just seems fitting). This film really deserves to be watched and enjoyed. It just goes to show how much luck is involved in life and how taking a chance now-and-then can take you places you belong more than where you are. We are looking forward to seeing these two in their next project together. Hey what about a sequel?
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!
