I work in the film business
and I got dragged to see this film at a film festival. I had zero expectations of liking it...but by the end of the film I simply loved it! In general
romantic comedies are almost impossible to get right. Between having a script that works
chemistry between the actors
and a strong enough director with a clear vision
it is easy to see why most studio romantic comedies just don't work! It is by far the hardest of any film genre. Like Edward Norton said during the last Oscars broadcast (I'm going on memory here folks so give me a break): I am always amazed when the lights come up at the end of a movie that actually works
I'm always wondering... just how did they manage to do that? Well believe it or not
that is exactly how I felt after seeing eCupid! Congratulations Mr. Calciano
you manage somehow... despite an obviously low budget
to make a movie with characters I cared about and a story I liked! I'm looking forward to your next movie just to see if this was beginners luck!
