Village VoiceKate CongerDec 11, 2014
It's only in the closing moments when Tuccillo lets up, delivering a skip-into-the-sunset ending that seems a bit canned. Take Care's laughs feel better than its romance. Read full review

The PlaylistKimber MyersDec 14, 2014
Though the plot gets points for originality, there may be a reason why no one has told this story before: it’s ridiculous. But Take Care occasionally succeeds with funny dialogue and performances from Leslie Bibb and Thomas Sadoski. Read full review

What exerts an odd fascination here is that each character heartily embodies a different variety of solipsistic creep; you start feeling sorry for the creators of the movie for having to live among such awful people.

New York PostKyle SmithDec 3, 2014
Thin yet excruciating, the film is a quintessential vanity production. The script feels like a first draft that aspired merely to mediocrity and fell well short. Read full review

The DissolveAndrew LapinDec 2, 2014
The movie is dreadful, filled with painfully broad humor, grating performances, and acidly rendered characters. Read full review
