What it really is is a screwball comedy with a black-hearted center, an energy extremely difficult to capture and maintain, but Healy—as actor and as director—manages to do so. Read full review

From one wild mood swing to the next, it keeps us interested with aplomb, with Mike Makowsky’s script never lingering too long on any one element, the better to keep the pace brisk, and unpredictable. Read full review

Healy’s good; Schilling’s superb. Together, they make a hell of a team, he the wide-eyed schlemiel, she the hysterical but thoroughly capable victim who would naturally rather not be a victim in the first place. Read full review

Take Me tickles just often enough to be worth its 84 minutes, not something I’d trek out to see at the cinema, but perfectly Netflixable. Read full review

Parts of it work, but the overall package is never really suspenseful enough to have you on edge or overtly funny enough to be a lark. Read full review

This is my logic for the number:

First and foremost: Its entertaining? If not, its below 6... mediocre at best depending on other things This one is... then: It accomplishes what it clearly promised or wanted it to do? Yes. Its a black comedy, with humor not from jokes per se, butThis is my logic for the number:

This one is... then: It accomplishes what it clearly promised or wanted it to do?
Yes. Its a black comedy, with humor not from jokes per se, but situation, often a little dark

It gives you more? in this case: Not really. It has a good ending, great acting, and it tells this little story in this genre. That's it.

Its good.… Expand
