Brilliant and touching
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
No spoilers here unless you're unfamiliar with A Christmas Carol, as this thing, um TV movie, is an attempted retelling. What we have here are actors who are either unskilled or wholly uninspired(and if so, no one can blame them). They mostly sleepwalk through a soul-less, shallow, Christmas Carol in which Scrooge learns to become slightly less selfish, morally bankrupt, and generally horrible to the mostly equally horrible people in her life. Instead of feeding the poor and starving, our Scrooge here redeems herself by feeding celebrities via gift certificates to a restaurant . Really. The best part of the movie is when Jacob Marley/Cupid makes her grand final exit. I was laughing, though the scene was intended to be grand and touching. Redeeming qualities? Well, hmm. OK, the cast are pretty much all eye candy. The lighting and camera work were fine for a TV movie. And I give it points for making me laugh for feeling like the bad boyfriend dodged a bullet while the good guy got stuck with a lifetime of misery. All in all, no Christmas spirit to be found here, and not much of a cupid. I think they called it Christmas Cupid because Christmas Stupid was too honest.
BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY REVIEW ONE FILM. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THAT PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.When I sit down to watch a "Christmas Theme" I avoid reading what the film is about. I am glad I did for this. The first 15 minutes were very funny and I liked the lead character. What I had no clue of was the fact that this film was yet another variation of "A Christmas Carol".What throw for a huge loop was when won of the characters dies. In this film Christina Milian stars as high powered Hollywood publicist, Sloane, who finds herself haunted by the ghost of her recently departed infamous client Caitlin, played by Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars). With just days away from Christmas, Caitlin takes Sloane on a journey to meet the ghosts of her ex-boyfriends from the past, present and future to try and guide her to true love.Not my favorite "Christmas Theme" film but Christina Milian makes the most cringe worthy scenes watchable. Avoid small children from watching this. There is a few adult words throw around. Most kids under 12 will most likely not watch anyway. The film is worth watching but only once
If your into sappy, cheesy romantic comedies like I am, I suggest you watch this movie. There were some parts of the movie that were horribly predictable, like many other romantic comedies.. I felt there was some truth to it. Things that could happen to anyone. Although Ms. Milian is not a great actress, I could really relate to the character that she was portraying in this movie. She makes plenty of bad choices which also, I'm sure that everyone does.. no ones perfect. And I'm just a sucker for happy endings :)I didn't think that I would have enjoyed this movie as much as I did, which is why I procrastinated on watching it for so long. After watching my opinion changed and I am glad I took the time to watch it. This movie ranks an 8/10 for me, and is now one of my new favourite movies. Also.. who doesn't love watching Chad Michael Murray ;)
Alright, well I just sat through this movie, despite it was a movie that was amazingly sassy.Let's start off with the title, "Christmas Cupid"? I think the movie was somewhat given a wrong title, sure there was a love theme to the story, but there was no Cupid around. And I sure hope they hadn't intended the dead movie star to be Cupid, if so, that would just be morbidly sick.The story told in "Christmas Cupid" is fairly easy to follow and straight forward, being a whole re-invention of the classic "Christmas Carol" story. Just spiced up to appeal to the modern and hip audience of the 21st century. In itself it was actually not a bad interpretation of the classic story, and it did kind of grow on you, despite there were times where you just wanted the movie to end.As for the acting in the movie, well I think the people did a good enough job. And they had some fairly decent names on the list, like Chad Michael Murray, Ashley Benson, Christina Milian, and more.I think there is something to the movie that appeals to everyone, but as a whole picture, I think the movie is perhaps more suited for a female audience, than it is for a male audience.The movie was adequate, but I hardly think it will turn out to be a Christmas classic movie, that you will get to experience year after year.
