Cupido - A Magia do Amor

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.

A darling story with a great cast! No need to be worried about who this film is appropriate for as it is most definitely appropriate for all ages. How refreshing it is to be able to sit down to view a movie without any concerns as to which eyes or ears are watching. While animated films are fun, it is nice to find a great family film without it having to be animated. No sex, blood, violence or bad language. The magical touches in the movie add to the fun! The locations of the film are beautiful and well chosen. I especially enjoyed the beauty of the prom scene in the movie. A nice film to add to your family film library! I highly recommend taking the time to check this movie out!

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.

This movie was extremely cute and wonderfully cast! I love Brian Krause, and he did a wonderful job in this role. The girls were sweet and funny, but not too over the top.

It's absolutely a movie the whole family can watch together. I enjoyed watching it the whole way through, and loved the ending. Most movies now, leave you feeling empty at the end, but this one did not.

I would recommend you watch, even if you don't have kids in the tween or teen age group. Very family friendly and heart warming. The bonds between sisters and the ultimate goal of always wanting your parents to end up together forever. Believe in love!
