As one other reviewer said, I was expecting a more heavily emotional plot line from the description, but should have known that this movie would be as fun, clever and cute as it is, since it was penned (and directed) by Liz Tuccillo, who writes about relationships better than just about anyone. Great chemistry between leads Bibb and Sadoski--in fact, all the actors do a great job. This story is like a microcosm of a relationship--the entire film takes place mostly in Frannie's (Bibb) claustrophobic NYC fourth-floor walk-up, a perfect metaphor for how trapped she is after a car accident keeps her bedridden for weeks. The best things about the film: the unexpected freshness of the character development and plot, the charm of the leads, the whip-crack dialogue. As a couple of reviewers said, not a weighty or convoluted story, but a really lovely examination of human nature and the nature of love. I smiled most of the way through, laughed out loud a lot, and was left thinking about the movie after it finished
This is a surprisingly good romantic comedy B-movie! Without famous actors, visual effects and everything else, it is quite good. Why? Because it has a very good screenplay, what seems to become less and less usual in Hollywood. It follows the typical and predictable path: two people have a troublesome relationship in the beginning but it changes during the story until they become lovers/friends. Though, it is clever in its choices, is somewhat original in putting the main characters as ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, and has quite good dialogs, avoiding clichés and obvious details. I recommend everybody to put skepticism aside and give this film a chance. It is good.
This movie goes for the humor with absolutely crazy situations early on. Insane. Like a woman nursing a broken leg and arm sliding her way to her neighbor's door to complain about his loud music and then asking him to make her a sandwich, which he does. When I say sliding, I mean just that - flat on her back pushing with her one good leg. He has already carried this complete stranger up 4 blights of stairs on his back. If you can get past craziness which at times is cringeworthy, it get's better after what seemed like a very long part of the movie.
I've never seen a premise like this where she guilts her ex boyfriend into taking care of her indefinitely. And he has a beautiful current girlfriend who fits the arm candy mold. At times she seems jealous, but rightfully so given circumstances and puts up with it pretty well for the most part.
I honestly wasn't sure who was going to end up with whom other than what you would expect from this type of movie. The reason Devon agrees to this weird situation isn't obvious at first but before long the mutual backstory of Frannie and Devon explains it. So I give it points for an interesting story.
The acting is OK as is the dialogue. At times Frannie is disgusting and a total loser, but she becomes almost likeable by the end.

This film is underrated! I've watched it at least 10 times and I discover a new part of a scene each time. I wish the running time was a little longer. Jodi annoys me...it's her face! Read the production notes on the making of Take Care. There were some major production obstacles for this small set. I love Leslie Bibb after seeing this film. She's adorable, yet not afraid to look the part nd has great timing. Great acting, great chemistry with the exes. It is a film to watch over and over. Always puts me in a better mood. This is my first review and I have to say this is a film that just resonates. Love the neighbor, sister is so typical, right? Acting is fluid and the only character that isn't believable is Jodi. Seriously, she is so annoying.
"Take Care" is a very cute comedy film from 2014. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. It is an independent film directed by Liz Tuccillo and also written by her as well. The actors include Leslie Bibb, Tracee Chimo, Kevin Curtis, Nadia Dajani, Betty Gilpin, Michael Gordere, Marin Ireland, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Thomas Sadoski, Michael Stahl-David and Tim Wu. The story is a romantic comedy. There is a young woman who is injured in a car accident, so she is unable to walk or care for herself. She convinces an ex boyfriend to assist her in her routine activities. He is currently with another woman, so there is a rift in relationships. It is a little slow, but I gave it 6 stars.
