Screw Cupid

"Screw Cupid" is a clever title. The theme of the movie may not be that unusual(it is boy meets girl, after all), but it is handled with a witty script and thoughtful dialog. It is interesting to see the dating scene from the guys point of view; usually it is the female sex that seems to monopolize the romance department. The two room mates play off of each others idea of love quite well; in the end, are they really that different? There are a few scenes which maybe a tad long, but some editing could easily fix that. Casting of the room mates has been done with considerable perception. The female lead has a sweetness about her, but her outburst in response to Taylor's professed love seemed jarring. The gay friend, the massage therapist, the drunk girl at the bar and the cheapskate date, all made interesting characters.
