Men

About This Movie

So, 'Men' from 1979 is a curious little TV movie that pokes fun at the idea of laziness among some men, particularly the Tufey group. The tone swings between light-hearted comedy and a subtle critique of gender roles, which gives it an intriguing duality. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, and the performances have that distinct vibe of late 70s television—somewhat earnest, yet occasionally over-the-top. What stands out is how the characters evolve from seeking easy lives through relationships with businesswomen to facing a sort of moral reckoning. It’s one of those oddities that captures a certain societal sentiment of the time, making it a unique piece for collectors interested in exploring the evolution of comedy in TV movies.

This film has been released primarily on TV, with limited circulations on VHS and DVD, which naturally contributes to its obscurity. It’s not the type of title that pops up often at conventions or in used sections, making it somewhat of a find for collectors who appreciate lesser-known television gems. Interest tends to be niche, appealing mostly to those who enjoy exploring the comedic landscape of the late 70s and its reflection on societal norms.
