Love-Struck

Cute romantic flick. The whole idea of Cupid coming to earth and falling in love is a little strange, and it seemed a bit unrealistic, but if you can get beyond that, the film is quite enjoyable. Hopeless romantics, this one's for you. Otherwise, skip it.

This is a unique love story which has everything you have always dreamed your love would be like (I know I want mine to). It has the warm feeling of joy and laughter..the unexpectable and unbelievable things that do come true here...and the feeling of being swept away by someone who you've just met yet you feel you have to be with without questioning... And if that someone turned out to be Cupid then you have it all.... What can I do I am hopelessly romantic.... Costas Mandylor certainly captured his role as Cupid , he played it so heavenly full of passion (especially his great passion and moves for dancing ) and delicacy and tenderness that All of you who stopped believing in love , magic , fairy-tales and dreams come true then this movie is definitely for you..

I really do enjoy this movie. They used to always show it at Valentine's Day, but I have not seen it in a few years. I really wish it would be shown again...good movie. Cynthia Gibb is an excellent actress, and there are a lot of dogs in this movie. I am a dog lover, so what better combination than a love story and dogs?! The end is one of those endings that makes you want to cry 'cause it ends happy. All of the acting is excellent, and the actor that plays Cupid is fine lookin'! Movie has a very good story line, and there is humor along the way. This would be an excellent movie to rent and watch on a first date.

Greek mythology tells us that there was once a beautiful mortal named Psyche whose beauty was such that Venus, the goddess of love, became insanely jealous and commissioned her son Eros to go down to Earth and pierce her with a love arrow. The plan was to make her fall in love with the first creature she sees, and Venus hoped it would be some wretched beggar. Yet when Eros first sees Psyche he is so startled by her beauty that he inadvertently stabs himself with the arrow and thus falls in love with her.

Perhaps this story is the inspiration behind 'Love-Struck' since it bares several similarities. It is a little overly sentimental in places, namely during the scenes in limbo with Venus and Cupid. At other times, I was astounded by the magic of it all! What could be more romantic than having the God of love fall head over heels for you!

OK, so it couldn't really happen, but perhaps this movie will serve to remind people that love can be magic and is a kind of magic in itself. Believe me, after this film, you will want to be 'Love-Struck' again and again!
