About This Movie

I Take These Men is one of those curious TV movies from the early '80s that really explores the complexities of marriage in a light-hearted yet poignant way. The film is structured around Carol Sherwood's fantasies, and it shifts its tone smoothly between comedy and drama. Each of her imagined relationships reveals something different about her desires and disappointments. The pacing is fairly brisk, keeping you engaged as she hops from one scenario to the next. Performance-wise, the cast does a nice job of embodying the various personalities Carol envisions, which adds layers to her character. It’s a neat little exploration of self-discovery wrapped in a somewhat whimsical package, and you can't help but appreciate its unique take on a rather heavy subject.
