When was "Young Americans" released?


Search
: young americans

Why: I am watching Smiley Face (which is not good, btw). My #1 girl crush Anna Faris married Chris Pratt (of "Parks and Recreation") in July of this year. A news story says:
Faris met Pratt when they were filming Young Americans in 2008. They became fast friends, but didn't start dating immediately.
(Not the 2000 TV series "Young Americans," which I totally watched - they sort of spun it off of "Dawson's Creek." It starred a young Ian Somerhalder.
It was awesome.)

Answer: Omg it's still not out! It's scheduled to be released January 9, 2010.
It's the late 1980s, when Wall Street is riding high, and it seems as if the entire country is cashing in on the bumper profits. Disgusted with the materialism that surrounds him, Matt Franklin (Topher Grace), a brilliant young MIT graduate, has walked out on his well-paid position at a local lab and taken a low-level job as a video clerk, much to his father Bill's (Michael Biehn*) consternation. And the crises keep piling up in Matt's life. His best buddy Barry has just gotten fired from his job, his brainy sister Wendy (Anna Faris) is getting hitched to her vapid boyfriend Kyle (Chriss Pratt), and the gorgeous Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer), long-time object of Matt's unattainable adoration, is suddenly back in the picture. Now, on one wild, woolly and irresponsible evening, everything is coming to a head, with explosive results.

Update way later: It was actually released March 4, 2011, under the name Take Me Home Tonight. Remember not seeing it?
