eCupid

Words to describe this movie: light, superficial, mindless, adolescent, artificial, unreal.

In several ways, this movie reminded me of lightweight television sitcom programming or a brainless romantic comedy. Even the values here are sitcom values, despite the gay theme. And not intelligent sitcoms, but the lame kind. The characters' problems are phony and trivial television problems that can, and will, be easily resolved.

There are lots of gay men kissing and showing affection in the film, but there's no real passion, no T&A, not even open-mouth kissing. This is an anodyne homo heaven free of ugliness and suitable for all viewers.

I'm not against the concept of gay fluff and I realise there must be a market for this out there; however, it's just not for me. It surprises me that gay men would want to watch this kind of thing. Who is this movie meant to appeal to?

This movie shows the moviegoer a California subculture of gay people in their 20s who have perfect gay lives, perfect jobs, perfect teeth, perfect homes, perfect boyfriends, perfect friends, perfect bodies. The biggest problems they have to deal with are turning 30 and getting turned down a few times by a tired partner.

Needless to say, this movie didn't really appeal to me at all. (And I enjoy light movies now and again.) It just wasn't that entertaining or funny. It certainly didn't enlighten me about being gay or human relationships. It didn't challenge me intellectually in any way whatsoever. It also didn't move me at all, despite the various clear attempts to elicit that kind of response. It's not really a movie for adults.

I enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would. "eCupid" is a story about an unhappy boyfriend who downloads what I would consider a magical virus to his phone. The virus – or phone app, I guess – sabotages his relationship with his boyfriend and takes him on a crazy whirlwind of gay adventures.

This is a fun film that will get a smile out of you. What is great about this film is that is that it's not as ridiculous as the premise sounds. This is not crack humour. "eCupid" is a fun and relatable story that will have you laughing with it at every step of the way.

I thought the actors were very attractive and their romantic chemistry was undeniable but their performances were a bit stiff. None of the scenes were too deep or thought-provoking but overall it is a very sweet and romantic story.

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

I assumed this was going to be a fluffy, fun, feel-good movie that would bring some smiles, if not actual laughs. So I wasn't expecting anything too deep or thought-provoking.

I guess that pretty well sums it up, although in the fun & feel-good department, it fell pretty flat. The two main characters lacked any real chemistry, so their break-up and all that followed didn't inspire much empathy/sympathy. The on-line service that took control of events quite often was more annoying & intrusive than mystically omniscient or whatever their presence was supposed to suggest. The anticipated, happily-ever-after denouement seemed pretty bland and contrived … even assuming you'd accept the dubious deus ex machina aspect of eCupid.

The cautionary tale regarding the dangers of reacting irrationally to the 7-year-itch and the warning that familiarity breeds ennui, which may prevent us from recognizing the value of what we could end up losing, are worthy but this may not be the most convincing vehicle for carrying that message.

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!
