Cover your mirrors and dig out your best black clothing: we’re officially in mourning over another A-list relationship gone bad.
Late Sunday night, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced that they’re officially separating after eight years of marriage. The world wept Lil’ Sebastian’s tears as we attempted to cope with the news. “What about their adorably bespectacled son, Jack? Will Chris Pratt stress eat and gain all the weight back?” we collectively wondered.
It’s been a few days since the announcement, and the world is still reeling. We need something to take the all-consuming grief off our minds. Luckily, we have Take Me Home Tonight.
Take Me Home Tonight is a 2011 comedy about a group of recent college graduates in 1980s Los Angeles who host a cocaine-filled party and generally do a lot of dumb ’80s things. More importantly, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris met while filming this movie in 2007, as in, it’s the place where their love first bloomed. That in itself makes it worth watching.
Faris and Pratt play Wendy and Kyle, a couple trying to figure out whether they have a future together (UGH). Topher Grace plays Wendy’s twin brother Matt, who spends most of the movie trying to convince his high school crush (Teresa Palmer) to date him. It took four years for Universal Studios to release the film, if that tells you anything about the quality, but it was written by two That ’70s Show writers, so it’s funny in a slapstick way. It also includes some solid party scenes and many, many popped polo collars.
What better way to mourn the beloved couple’s breakup than by watching the film that started it all?
