CGiii Comment
Marshall has directed some big films, Fugate has written...crap and the writing here simply continues her trend.
The comedy is remedial and antiquated - simply not good enough to merit the talents of the the huge names involved.
Each of these names all require screen time therefore, nothing develops - and that includes a relationship with the audience - some would say vital for a sure-fire hit.
Marshall must be senile - Fugate definitely sterile - in the writing department.
A sure-fire FLOP.

Can Cupid finish his work by midnight?
