Director Liz Tuccillo and actor Thomas Sadoski dished on the upcoming romantic comedy Take Care and how it's not the average romance movie that some may have expected.

The film stars Leslie Bibb (Iron Man, Law Abiding Citizen) as Frannie, a woman who comes home from the hospital to recuperate after getting hit by a car. When she comes back she realizes that all her friends who she thought would be there for her are actually not helping. So she decides to contact her ex-boyfriend Devon (Sadoski) to take care of her. Considering that she helped him during a cancer treatment, he returns the favor and decides to help.

While the film might have a feel-good vibe to it, it's not like other romantic comedies, according to Tuccillo and Sadoski. Tuccillo (writer of He's Just Not That Into You and Sex and the City) pointed out that other movies like this tend to have characters who are in a decent spot in their lives whereas Take Care is the opposite.

"Usually in most romantic comedies, the lead characters meet kind of at their best," Tuccillo told EnStars exclusively. "They're both adorable and well-dressed and have some kind of very neat, cute situation happening. And in this one, it's kind of these two characters at their worst, particularly one of them where our lead character Frannie spends 99 percent of the film laid up in debt, hair dirty, wearing clothes she's been wearing for 10 days."

"But it's played by Leslie Bibb so of course she's still gorgeous," Tuccillo added.

While dating can be one of the biggest challenges and depressing situations that a person can face, the director revealed how she gets the ideas to give her films a more charismatic vibe that doesn't always have to be dark and miserable.

"In general, I guess the point is that dating can sometimes be a marathon and not a sprint," Tuccillo said. "And so if you're going to keep your stamina, you need to have a good sense of humor."

"For most romantic comedies or most shows or stories about dating, most people want there to be a feeling of hopefulness," she added. "For people who are single, that person is still out for them."

Sadoski (The Newsroom, John Wick) also made it clear that this film is "not your typical light, fluffy romantic comedy" since this movie focuses on the fact that everyone has issues.

"Everyone's got depth, everyone's got their issues, everyone's got their sort of good side and their bad side," the actor said. "They're three-dimensional human characters in the story and watching them bounce off of each other and watching the story sort of unfold and grow leaves the story openly about characters, not caricatures. And that's what sets it apart from your typical boring romantic comedy and I'm really proud of it. I think that we did a really good job in that regard."

Take Care hits theaters on Friday, December 5.
