Cupids on Beacon Street (2021 TV Movie)
5/10
Passionless Couple on Beacon St.
7 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I thought it was miscast, in that most of the actors were the wrong ages for the characters they were portraying, except for the romance novelist couple. The writing could have been a bit more dynamic also, as many of the characters came of as after flat. The main character could have had more of a back story besides her parents getting divorced. She doesn't mention any former boyfriend, or current boyfriend, at the beginning of the film.

The marriage counselor doesn't tell you anything except he was engaged but it didn't work out. Eve's girlfriend at the publishing company doesnt bring up much about what she knows about Eve's past dating life. The publisher or Senior Editor seems rather indifferent to things, except to call about the rewrite that Eve is working on.

It almost seems like nobody talks to anybody, except for what you see depicted on screen.

It's nice to see the couple get together at the end, but it didn't seem to resemble real life, in that nobody was very passionate, about very much, and was just going thru the motions.

Don't know if filming in the early part of the COVID pandemic had much the lack of passion, but perhaps it could have.
