Cupid's Christmas

Wow what a great flick!

I will be honest, I did have this hyped up for me a lot over the last few months and I am often let down when I see over hyped movies (King Kong), but this one lives up to it!

I LOVE Christmas and Christmas movies and I also love light-hearted romance movies and I always wondered why Hollywood has not made a movie where there is BOTH Christmas and Romance. Well here it is FINALLY!

There is a lot of great Christmas Scenery (Santa, Trees, and even a real Reindeer) as well at Romantic elements (Relationships, Love, and kiss) all packed into one movie and I wouldn't be surprised to see other films trying to replicate this in the future.

I don't want to spoil any of the story but lets just say that the there is a Christmas setting and there is both love and magic in the air. (Anyone who has seen the movie will know what I mean).

There is no cursing or other dirty things in it so you can watch it with the whole family. There are horses and some people are afraid of those so be warned but nothing scary happens in the movie.

I give this ten bags of popcorn (out of ten). I will watch this every Christmas from now on

Full transparency, I was the writer of the screenplay for the film, but I DID NOT let that effect this rating in anyway because I had a head injury over the summer and have no recollection of writing it. This is a completely objective review.

First off, I don't know how movies like this even get to production. It's absolutely atrocious and it may be the worst most poorly acted Christmas movie I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of poorly active Christmas movies.

Now enter handsome hunky army guy, Luke, who wants to be a firefighter. First, coming fresh out of the army would not have hair that long. Production values here are virtually nonexistent. You don't just get out of the military and walk into the fire dept. To hear, you're hired. Now shut up and take your shirt off. If you any to see that just google his name shirtless. Wow.

Why are all the firefighters standing around socializing in full gear. I don't think that ever happens.

Honestly, I don't even know where else to go with this. Suffice to say that it's awful and I don't know if I can sit through the whole thing.

Anyway. Here's a list to ponder:

Cupid's Christmas is a well made, funny, entertaining and heart-warming holiday movie. It's also well-acted and thought-provoking. The stars have good chemistry between one another for the as well.

This is a Michigan-based production, and those from the area will be able to recognize all of the great scenery and sheer majestic beauty of the areas where this was filmed. Almost no other state other than Michigan could have captured the spirit of Christmas better for the production values of this movie.

I definitely highly recommend watching this for those who enjoy holiday movies as well as independent cinema. You won't be disappointed.
