    For one thing, it goes on too long. But it looks good, the cast is perky.

    Made with $980 and about as many brain cells, Cupid's Mistake is more cute than clever.

    Pity poor Gil. He makes one girl cry because he DOESN't love her, and another girl cry because he DOES love her. It's a movie about vapid people who can't communicate, and relationships where no one relates. It's an "I love her, but she loves him, but he loves her..." chain-gang of young people searching. Each link passes the unrequited love bug on to the next without indulging in its joy along the way. Everybody is seeking something else.
