Wonderful Movie
Best movie ever!
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
This film has more good looking guys than you can shake a stick at. The leads are all hunky and so are all the supporting cast. The story is very light and predictable but cute and sweet nonetheless. Morgan Fairchild makes a cameo appearance and practically steals the film, but then she has always been absolutely wonderful in everything she does. There are lots of twists and turns as well as really great photography and West Hollywood and LA never looked better. My bud and I watched the film in a single sitting as part of our mini film festival we are doing only taking breaks to check the cast here. Apparently, the leads are all working still and considering how good they are in this film it seems their futures are secure. This is the kind of film you never get tired of seeing again and again because it is so great to look at and the story is so uplifting.
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.
You can't go wrong with this film for lighthearted, sweet, classy entertainment. Its take on the online dating world is quite novel, and there's no question that we can all relate to the search for "Mr. Right." Handsome men and truly witty banter between the characters make this a completely charming 95 minutes. I have seen many gay-oriented indies that are downright maudlin, but "eCupid" examines the concept of real commitment (or lack thereof), and the difficulty gay men seem to have communicating about the simplest things, with a sharp eye and and a sharp sense of humor. The outcome is very touching and very satisfying. Do yourself a favor, and see it!
I'd urge that you watch it only if 1) you're not paying for it 2) you have absolutely nothing else to do 3) You're so jonsing for a new gay-themed movie that you don't care how bad it is.Swap the second lead with a lady and without any change in the storyline, you have yourself an equally awful chickflic. And by that I don't mean something like 27 dresses. This one would be much worse. The main lead is easy on the eyes, so are a few other people. Not all of them are equally bad actors, some more, some less. That's the only good thing I can think of this movie.Okay, may be the original idea had a point - roadbump in a long-term relationship. It's supposed to be a story of how they realize again how much they love each other. Everything else, as I mentioned earlier, could might well be a story about a guy and a very emotional girl, and not even a good one at that.
