Review:
Take Me Home is yet just another indie film that is a good watch. While the film is categorized as a "Romantic Comedy", it really doesn't feel like one as it is filled with great dialogue, an interesting plot, and overall, a great message on life, love, and happiness.
Oddly, Amber Jaeger and Sam Jaeger, married in real life, are in the lead roles of Thom and Claire. Both do a good job in their roles as the two souls hiding who they truly are. The scenery is also tremendous as they take the cross country trip from New York to California.
Take Me Home is a rock solid film with a great moral for those who enjoy films that provoke thinking on life and the second chances it provides us.
Definitely a solid choice to watch, especially for the 97 minute running time.
Grade: 3/5
