Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good 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.

Badly over acted movie full of unpleasant, unrealistic characters. There are a couple of people here who like it which means I guess it appeals to someone. The movie lacks depth, sincerity and character development. It was painful to watch and how I ever endured it to the end, I will never know. If you're looking for a movie with some intelligence and warmth with a bit of that Christmasy feel to it, you won't find it here. The movie is emotionless and shallow. Don't waste your time if you have a reasonable IQ.

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 ;)

OK guys, let's face it. It's December, snow is falling and although we're stressed out, we want to relax and get into a Christmas mood. So we lean back and switch on "Christmas Cupid" in hope for a bit silly, but watchable movie.I'm sorry I have to stop you right here. This movie is bad from the beginning to the end. The acting is dreadful, not in one million years do I buy the businesswoman on "the fast track". The storyline is somewhat incoherent, yet unforgivably predictable. Yes, we have all watched romantic comedies with a predictable ending, but this one has got to be one of the worst. Even calling it a "comedy" does it too much honour. The take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" was nicely thought, but horribly executed. Not to mention, that there was no cupid in the movie whatsoever.This is not a movie I'd recommend for you to watch during Christmas time (or anytime, actually). Better go with some old classics, that'll really get you ready for the holidays!
