I really enjoyed Ecupid, because I found it was a very universal story that any man or woman has gone through and that is what made it so enjoyable and accessible, especially being a gay romantic comedy.
I think what JC does with his films is break down stereotypes or even takes typical in your face stereotypes and turns them on their heads. You could have plugged in Jennifer Aniston into one half of the leading couple and you would have had a mainstream romantic comedy. I think that is what America needs to be able to start having access to. Movies don't have to be all about sex or violence or tragedy. This is escapist entertainment at it's best.
That, to me, is what JC is setting out to do, and he does it really well! You can call me bias, but I know for a fact that you could sit and watch this film with your own family and not have to worry about anything inappropriate coming up. And you can count on them having a good time, and maybe opening their own minds up a little. I thought the film as a whole was cute and funny and had a great lesson at the end. It's nice to see stories about love, whether they're between a man and man, a man and a woman, or a woman and a woman.
In the end, you're hoping for the guys to stay together. It's not for cynical, snooty, bitter people. It's a simple, beautiful story for people who still believe in the notion of true love. I highly recommend it!
