Cupido a Natale

OK guys, let's face it. It's December, snow is falling and although we're stressed out, we want to relax and get into a Christmas mood. So we lean back and switch on "Christmas Cupid" in hope for a bit silly, but watchable movie.

I'm sorry I have to stop you right here. This movie is bad from the beginning to the end. The acting is dreadful, not in one million years do I buy the businesswoman on "the fast track". The storyline is somewhat incoherent, yet unforgivably predictable. Yes, we have all watched romantic comedies with a predictable ending, but this one has got to be one of the worst. Even calling it a "comedy" does it too much honour. The take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" was nicely thought, but horribly executed. Not to mention, that there was no cupid in the movie whatsoever.

This is not a movie I'd recommend for you to watch during Christmas time (or anytime, actually). Better go with some old classics, that'll really get you ready for the holidays!

Badly over acted movie full of unpleasant, unrealistic characters. There are a couple of people here who like it which means I guess it appeals to someone. The movie lacks depth, sincerity and character development. It was painful to watch and how I ever endured it to the end, I will never know. If you're looking for a movie with some intelligence and warmth with a bit of that Christmasy feel to it, you won't find it here. The movie is emotionless and shallow. Don't waste your time if you have a reasonable IQ.

Teens who want a relatable version of A Christmas Carol will flock to Christmas Cupid, starring the popular teen star from Pretty Little Liars, Ashley Benson. Ashley is the Jacob Marley to Christina Milian's Scrooge, and she visits her coworker to impart some life lessons before it's too late. As you can tell from the title, the main focus is love and finding Christina's happiness with another person, rather than just enjoying the Christmas spirit. But this is a teen movie - do you really expect it not to focus on boys, boys, boys?

Parts of it were cute, but it's really just geared to teenage girls. Diehard fans of the Dickens story will probably be appalled. Just as classic lovers should stay away from All American Christmas Carol, they should probably stay away from Christmas Cupid. But if you just like pretty girls in pretty dresses, giggling over which boy to kiss under the mistletoe, check out this festive comedy. You'll see some familiar faces, like Jackée, Burgess Jenkins, and Ashley Johnson.

The basic sin - it is a film about nothing. Not "nothing" in Seinfeld manner but just not specific subject or genre or story. A sort of salad , using a selfish, collectionary of men business woman, a sort of spirit more becoming angel, crumbs from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens , a single mother, ex-boyfriends and a lot of improvisation in not very inspired way. The good thing, maybe, the presence of Chad Michael Murray for nostalgics. But it is not enough to save this presumed film about Christmas.

Yet another Christmas Carol remake, this time with Christina Milan playing a money hungry pathetic Public relations exec. Of course its predictable, its Dickens's classic, but the acting is B- or C+ grade. The one positive is Ashley Benson who plays the modern Jacob Marley, she pretty much steals every scene, not that says much,
