This isn't such a bad movie but it looks like a Hallmark production. Very sweet and well scrubbed & bleached plot line and characters. That's not a bad thing but it makes for a shallow storySimple story - two guys in love - relationship excitement has stalled - one looks on internet for a thrill - and a cupid takes over his life to fix their partnership/relationship.It's silly and sentimental with predictable results. If you want an unchallenging story this flick is your ticket.My question - why did the bedsheets make so much noise? Weird plastic sound!

I sincerely hated this wretched movie. It was as bad as some of the straight rom-coms that have come out in the last ten years or so, films so horrendous that you wonder if the writers weren't brain dead or smoking crack. It tried to be 'cute', but failed miserably. That is partly because I could not stand Marshall. Maybe it's the fact that he's a poor actor, but the guy playing him could not convey any real emotion. The guy playing his boyfriend did a fine job, but i didn't buy Marshall's so-called 'heartfelt' emotions at the end for even one second. Because when Gabe originally walks out in tears, Marshall shows no emotion whatsoever. Not only does he continue to show no emotion, he pals around with a douchebag from work. I seriously agree with the guy who wanted to date Gabe, Marshall and this ass were perfect for each other. I didn't want Marshall and Gabe to get back together, and seriously ended up yelling at my screen in frustration and disgust: "Gabe, get together with the other guy! Tell Marshall to go screw himself!" The whole movie was so contrived, moving from one scene to the next in such a forced way, that it felt stilted and not natural at all. And it portrayed gay guys as stupid, obnoxious, irritating, and often amoral. So, a typical rom-com only with two male leads instead of a male and a female. And that is exactly why I hated it, because i hate most rom-coms. They are, for the most part, so clichéd, so trite, and so formulaic that they tend to leave me feeling faintly nauseous rather than happy and uplifted.

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.

In a complex, over stimulated, fast paced world I found this movie to be light hearted yet meaningful. There is so much drama in our everyday lives that ecupid is a breath of fresh air!!! In addition it addresses a modern day situation of cell phones and the temptations that they bring to our lives. The movie has humor that appeals to everyone. I saw the movie in mixed company and everyone was enjoying it. Laughing is a wonderful common denominator for all. The characters are extremely likable. We all either have been in that situation or are familiar with it and can relate on some level! See the movie; enjoy it for its charm and humor!!!
