Bad Cupid

Quirky, romance-themed comedy about love and the role Cupid plays in it. Cupid is Archie, played by John Rhys Davies, as a curmudgeon matchmaker, who's tired of the role he plays in love and will do anything to succeed. Great scene in the bathroom that could have been stretched out for the whole movie. Many laughs at the banter going on between the characters about Dave's love situation. If you are looking for something different, this is a go.

It's been quite awhile since I've actually written out a review for a movie, but since this one has so few reviews and therefor a pretty low rating, I feel obligated to. So, here it is: this film is cute, it's legitimately funny, the storyline is fun, the acting is good (for an indie film), each character actually has a fair amount of depth and/or personality to them, there's these really wonderful quirky bits of animation scattered throughout the film which I personally love, and the fun angsty music soundtrack is really good too, and somehow perfectly fits the overall Buffalo, New York-ness of the film that is very present - the music, the snow, the bagels, the dreary bars and daytime drunks...it's got it all, and I loved every bit of it. Maybe you will too, give it a shot! :)

The story and filming are rather basic, BUT. I enjoyed the acting, the humoristic situations, the funny dialogues, the 'freshness' of the latino actress, the originality of the script. There's one long scene in a plain toilet of some bar that's over 15-20minutes long. It must have been a feat to keep this scene interesting. Nice!

John Rhys-Davies is such a gem in this movie. My husband and I laughed out loud several times. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Highly recommend.

There were only two things I knew about this movie, John Rhys-Davis and, the movie was a comedy. I didn't see any trailers so, didn't know what to expect. What a treat was instore.

At 63, I thought I'd seen it all; the same applies to my 88 year old mother, boy were we wrong. When parts of the movie are missed because of laughing so loud and for so long, you know everyone involved have a winner on their hands.

I didn't know any of the other actors yet, they played their parts as if having 10 or more movies/acting years under their collective belts. It wasn't a big production however, the resultant movie didn't need it. It would have actually taken away from the experience.

This is deadpan comedy so, it won't suit everyone, comedy is subjective to the viewer. Give it a shot, the most you'll lose is a few minutes, and it will only be because the style of comedy doesn't suit personally.

I'll have to get the DVD or download, to fill in the gaps, that's how well I enjoyed it.
