You're So Cupid!

This romance comedy has Brain Krause from Charmed and Lauren Holly from NCIS playing the estranged parents of two twin girls who from the trailers have unknowingly inherited their father's magical cupid powers. Unfortunately, unlike the expectations set up from the trailers and that magic enchanting the movie like Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic (1998), the magic doesn't really seem to light up the movie until more than halfway through the movie. The second half of the movie offers more sustaining interest and playful irony as the struggle with the twins attempting to fight for a boy they fall in love with diminishes into the background. This movie is entertaining superficially, but it has a nice story arch about sisters and falling in love and the message about helping not forcing love.

This is possibly one of the most poorly written, casted and directed movies I've ever seen. I realize it's written for a specific tween age group, but this is so behind the times. My little sister was dumbfounded with what the characters were saying and sometimes thought it was a joke. The whole movie is laced with an annoying whimsical, "everything will be OK" type of vibe that just drags down every potential for an exciting moment.

The only way I was finishing this movie was just to see if these writers were actually following through with this film. The characters are amazingly boring, with a slight exception to the Mom. There are those moments after a character says their line and a there's an assumption, a flow that should come next, but instead they meander in what they just said. It was very strange to watch. It ended with me having a physical stomach ache because of the sheer awkwardness and odd behaviour demonstrated by the characters. Why I put myself through this, I don't know. :P

This is from a passionate movie goer's perspective, keep this in mind.

This was a cute movie, and I agree with most of the other reviewers that it is nice to have a non-animated movie to watch with 'tweens.

But I really didn't like how completely white and very,very rich everyone was. I got the feeling that this is the world of the film makers and that they didn't even notice how out of touch they were with the real world. I don't think every movie has to have token minority actors, but for some reason this movie really felt unnaturally white to me. A perfect time to have had a little color might have been when the twins did their first matching in college. That last couple could have been more interesting; either one of them a person of color, or one of them in a wheel chair - something.

An outstanding performance from Jeremy Sumpter, with an amazingly smooth delivery of such lines as "woah", "awesome", and "hi". I feel the other actors could have stepped up their game a bit, but their lack of talent is made up for by their amazing fashion sense. The costuming was superb. I was able to strongly relate to the character of Mr Valentine, as I myself was once Cupid. But I gave up that life for the woman I loved. And it was a worth-wile sacrifice; until I came home one day and caught her with Bill from accounting. I lost everything in the divorce; the house, my kids, even my pet Gofer – Reginald von Bootyshorts. I was so close to giving up on life; but then I saw this film and hope was restored. I owe my life to the makers of "You're So Cupid!", it has changed me for the better, in ways I never thought possible. I award this film 11/10, as it was a spiritual journey. A classic that will last through the ages.

Such a beautiful movie! I was on edge the entire time! Love the plot also. Anyone who hates this movie is totally a loser. The movie is about two feternal twins with secret powers that they dont know about and in the middle of them having super powers their parents are going through quite a tough split up and to spoil it their father is cupid! Yes THE CUPID but since he lost his powers and is unable to make his wife fall in love with him. That's when their daughters come in to basically make their parents fall in love again. But the part that had me hooked is that they both end up liking the same dude and end up causing the dude to like them with their powers that their unaware about and basically try to fight for him.
