Critic Reviews

50 New York Post
For one thing, it goes on too long. But it looks good, the cast is perky.
30 Village Voice Sasha Statman-Weil
Made with $980 and about as many brain cells, Cupid's Mistake is more cute than clever.
30 TV Guide
Scenes are woefully under-rehearsed, and much of the obviously improvised dialogue would seem entirely random if it weren't so repetitive.
25 Christian Science Monitor
The acting is uneven and most of the romancing seems so mismatched.
0 The New York Times
At 70 minutes, Cupid's Mistake is short, but then, so is our time on this planet.
