‘I Really Love My Husband’ Review: Unconvincing Dramedy on Marital Troubles Doesn’t Say Much About Relationships
GG Hawkins’s debut 'I Really Love My Husband' has a refreshingly fluid approach to sexuality, but it sadly lacks humor and a sharp point-of-view.
Except, starting with the early scenes of this comedic drama that could have used both better humor and deeper dramatic stakes, there are various clues that she might not, in fact, be in love with Drew (Travis Quentin Young), an incurable people-pleaser who Teresa actually seems to be annoyed with too often. We get to know the standard dynamic between the questionably happy couple on a flight to their honeymoon in idyllic Bocas del Toro, Panamá, while Drew does everything in his power to be exhaustingly genial, while Teresa shows her comparably on-edge personality. Still, the main issue with “I Really Love My Husband” is its inauthentic set-up that asks us to believe that people who are as worldly, open-minded and aware of their own needs as the film’s central couple, fall into marriage and monogamy because it’s what’s expected of them, and not because it’s what they want.
