Brian Costello Common Sense Media A timely message gets lost in a morass of overacting, crass comedy, and gratuitous language, sex, and drug use. Rated: 1/5 Mar 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas B Well written, excellent and funny actors...great flick! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Audience Member If I could, I'd give it no star....The movie plotting is wack, bad acting, bad theme song. Everything bout the movie is just so upsetting...Very slow and most especially not funny...The tomatometer misled me Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Take Me To Tarzana combines the relatable day-in-day-out corporate drudgery of Office Space with the shenanigans of Workaholics set in a high stakes scheme-gone-wild plot reminiscent of The Big Lebowski.  The elements mix well for a hilarious romp around LA while weaving an important narrative centering on current fears of workplace harassment and Big Tech spying on (and monetizing) our deepest secrets.  This is the Millennial answer to the impending midlife life crisis that is office place malaise and having our most personal data exposed all over the web.  Come for the prescient story on the corruption of big data, stay for the psychedelics-fueled trip with a monkey in a jungle mansion.  The entire cast is very solid, but Jonathan Bennett especially knocks his comedic performance out of the park, which pairs well with Owen Harn's Tarzan-themed techno villain.  Chris Coppola is perfectly sleazy, Bob Wiltfong shows up to crush your soul and make you laugh out loud all at once, and Maria Conchita Alonso even sneaks in for some hilarious guest work with Emanuel Hernandez as her son in the funniest liquor-store-operating duo this side of Hollywood.  Take Me to Tarzana is well-crafted indie production storytelling at its finest.  Well worth the price of admission. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Take Me to Tarzana is a rollicking workplace farce that explores the prescient issues of the Millennial Generation. From sexual harassment to data collection, the film balances serious subject matter with an entertaining ensemble of hilarious characters reminiscent of the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s. Kudos to director Maceo Greenberg - I loved this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Total Low Budget Film, but that isn't bad, necessarily. Look at the classic Super Troopers. It starts out a bit odd and I wondered where this is going but it really a starts with the humor after about 15 minutes. The roles of Jamo and Giorgio really steal the show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Just the movie we needed during this pandemic. I literally LOL'd thru most of the movie. If you liked Big Lebowski, Office Space, and George of the Jungle, this movie is for you! Do yourself a favor and check this one out.
