eCupid

The whole premise for this movie doesn't work because the writer had an epic character development failure. The only way the audience can root for this couple to get back together is if BOTH characters are likable. Yet, from the very first argument that led to a split between these two, I had ZERO desire to ever see the character who voluntarily moved out for some stupid BS reason. As the movie progressed, I kept hoping there would be no reconciliation. The precious, masculine, adorable, wholesome blond lead was totally wasted in this movie. He was worthy of screen attention; his partner was not.

This film tells the story of a man who is having a seven year itch.

This comedy is light hearted, slightly far fetched but really fun to watch. It is funny and has got a semi serious message to it as well. I enjoyed it a lot.

This is a good movie. It reminded me a bit of Prescience aka Intuitions. Great work. I enjoyed it.

.......sites such as this, and elsewhere.

And yes, let me say it right up front: This is a well-done production (Calciano is very good at surrounding himself with capable cinematography and sound folks---there's little to fault). Obviously, his casting personnel have done their best to provide us with cute and hunky co-leads, as well as a fun group of major supporting actors (mention of some, below). It was a rare moment when their character arcs didn't ring true (obviously, the writing helped here). As to Storyline, it's as much one of "today's world" as it could possibly be....giving us an enjoyable ride and any number of lessons to be learned.

BUT having said all that, a large reservation remains for me....and it involves the Romantic angle of a story like this. So, let me be the Bad Guy in this group and explain my last statement in the following way:

Some pre-release photo shots and a preview trailer led this Fan to believe, or HOPE, that our Good Director Calciano had perhaps read and heeded a past review of mine ("Is It Just Me?"), in which I took he and other Gay Romance film directors to task for NOT providing realistic kissing scenes. About his last film's attempts, I basically stated: "Blink and you'll miss 'em." ....But STILL, even in this latest work, it seems if you "double-blink," you'll miss 'em. Just maybe that's because our two "eCupid" lead actors give little more than quick pecks on the lips or cheek (surely not a case of: "Whoa...folks might think I'm Gay"!?). Though I must concede that Frat-Boy Dawson was really "persistent".....and fellow worker, Keith (Matt Lewis, in an exciting performance) gave his lip-lock a really good shot.

Other main supporting actors of note include Andy Anderson (Chris 1).....and of course, the inestimable Morgan Fairchild, as the Divinity Drive-In's Mother Confessor....and Guru of Love (she probably even "out-angels" Gabriel).

In the end, let's hope there will be "some" learning derived from reviews put out here by nonprofessional guys such as you and I. Let's also hope for better film productions in future. (Hey...despite all, I'd buy another of this Director's films.)

Now...how to finish all this up? Hmm? By George..I think I've got it! BY GEORGE..I think I've got it! I'll just reuse my parting words in reviewing our Director's last film:

"So, how to end all this? Let me do it by asking: Is it fun and cute and attention-holding? Well, yes....for the most part. But that doesn't mean it couldn't have been better....and my rating reflects that. (And yes, yes, yes....I have watched it more than once before butting in here)."

PS--Interesting that most all of the first 10 reviews are by "first-timers". Friends, possibly? (And, Adam Huss, you actually sneaked in here---Go, Baby!)

****

This isn't such a bad movie but it looks like a Hallmark production. Very sweet and well scrubbed & bleached plot line and characters. That's not a bad thing but it makes for a shallow story

Simple story - two guys in love - relationship excitement has stalled - one looks on internet for a thrill - and a cupid takes over his life to fix their partnership/relationship.

It's silly and sentimental with predictable results. If you want an unchallenging story this flick is your ticket.

My question - why did the bedsheets make so much noise? Weird plastic sound!
