Excellent but underrated film

Better Late Then Never

A Masterpiece!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

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!

Take Me Home is a romantic comedy starring Sam Jaeger, a popular TV and character actor. He plays Tom, an aspiring photographer and part-time unlicensed cab driver who is a bit down on his luck. On the evening that he gets kicked out of his apartment for rent delinquency, outfits his cab to try to get a fare and picks up an attractive young woman, Claire, who has recently caught her husband in an affair and also has just found out that her father has had a heart attack. She breaks down in his cab, and tells Tom to "just drive", but eventually hires him to drive all the way to California to find her father. And the road trip is on.As romantic comedy premises go, this one is just fine, and predictably, the relationship between the two down and out protagonists grows with their own mutual understanding. The most interesting part of this movie to me is that Sam and Amber Jaeger, the leads, are real-life husband and wife, and this seemed to make a big difference to me. The knowing looks that they give each other and the affection that they display are just full of reality and feeling, and I really sensed something different from all other rom-com movies I have seen. The movie is not without flaws, but it is really interesting to see these two actors create characters from the real feelings that they have about each other as people.Let the buyer beware--if you are not into rom-com and would rather watch the Terminator, this is not your movie. Otherwise, it is very touching and sweet.

Pleasantly surprised with the nice story about two strangers whose lives cross paths and they learn more about each other through some unexpected circumstances. Woot giving way anything, I can say my wife and I enjoyed the story and characters... Down to earth yet whimsically silly about how people respond to and develop an understanding about life and it's moments. Bravo, lovely little film. We would recommend this for anyone looking for a movie on a night in. It is a out of the way romantic comedy in a sweet way without the comedians but real folks. Never head of it but it came up on Amazon and thought we would give it a go and glad we did.

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!
