You're So Cupid! (2010)
Chad Hively is the real Romeo
"You're So Cupid" is a cute and enjoyable movie for the whole family (and for romantics everywhere). Yes, the dialogue is pretty cheesy, and the delivery can be stiff. The special effects are also a bit ridiculous, with the sparkling nail polish. But I loved the relationship between Elliot and Lily. Though the shy sister (Lily) doesn't get the guy of her dreams, she gets the real happy ending with Elliot--I really liked the Romeo and Juliet tie-in too.
Though I like Jeremy Sumpter (Peter Pan, Friday Night Lights), I couldn't get into the character of Connor, considering he was under a spell for most of the movie, acting overly lovesick and dopey. Connor and Emma seem like a shallow couple (though yes, beautiful and blonde). I didn't feel any chemistry between them, and they didn't even get to know each other. On the other hand, Chad Hively (Elliot) easily showed the most talent out of the young cast. I got chills when he delivered his line to Lily: "How am I supposed to be Romeo unless you're Juliet." The cheesiness works if there's a believable connection behind it. I enjoyed the movie, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Chad.
