It is a tough challenge to build an entire movie around the idea that Cupid is an old guy who hangs out in bars and insults, threatens, kidnaps, and brutally assaults people. 'Bad Cupid' does not even come close. The characters are unappealing, the direction is indifferent, the actors sound like they had just been handed their lines, and the jokes are not funny. Maybe the awkward pauses in the dialogue reflect the hope they will be filled with audience laughter. Unlikely.

Archie interrupts a romantic proposal by a lake to knock the ring into the water and tell the woman who was about to accept that she can do better. Meanwhile Dave (Shane Nepveu) and Denise (Christine Turturro) are leaving an Italian restaurant and disagreeing about the quality of the pasta when she abruptly breaks up with him in front of the homeless guy eating their leftovers. Dave is devastated.

Once you have created your account, you will be able to review your matches and access advanced messaging features, making it easy to communicate with people from all over the world.

And that's just about all we ever learn about Dave, who seemingly has no other purpose or activity or interest beyond obsessing about getting back together with Denise. (Is it a coincidence that Denise is also the name of the ex-girlfriend Adam Sandler obsessed about in 'Saturday Night Live' skits?)

This is what I call Smurf scripting, where every character has just one defining characteristic. Denise's sole characteristic, if it can even be called that, seems to be dumping Dave because she wants a romantic gesture like in the movies, 'like Sarah Conner and the Terminator.' So, we get a conversation in a movie about how romance is not like it is in the movies, as though no one ever thought of that before.

Dave's cousin Morris (Briana Marin) is his only friend. Her defining characteristic is that she is a bossy loudmouth who can't commit ('Pretty much midway through the third orgasm, I'm already calling an Uber.')

Then there's Dessert Smurf, I mean Stella (Amelia Sorensen), who likes chocolate cake and has sex with someone she just met standing in line, and Henry (Claybourne Elder) who is in the movie only to be assaulted and kidnapped. He is also there to order ham and cheese on a Kaiser roll when the already sluggish storyline bogs down even further so that the characters can put in their deli orders between a kidnapping and a wedding. The deli order has more depth than just about any other exchange in the film, at least until it veers into a discussion of Manhattan vs. New England clam chowder as a metaphor for love or life or something along those lines. It is pointless, whether you prefer cream base or tomato base for your soup.

Aside from BlackPeopleMeet, BlackCupid may be the only other Black dating site on the market with real credibility and value, and their only competition.
They may have not has any commercials on the air, but that doesn’t take away from the greatness of this dating site for Black singles looking for love. Their services specifically cater to the Black community in hopes of bringing people together and finding you the person of your dreams.
If you’ve ever had any doubts about using dating apps or websites, I get it, but BlackCupid is one of those you never have to worry about when it comes to scams, fake profiles, or being a waste of time. The reason why is because it’s run by the leading niche dating conglomerate Cupid Media that is responsible for several other niche dating websites. They’ve been around since 2000, and have clustered up a significant amount of users over the years.
Getting into the dating scene is tough, no matter who you are. You never know if you’re doing or saying the right things, and the hardest part can be where to start. You don’t know where to find the potential love of your life, or how to even ask out a stranger these days without them mistaking you for being a sex trafficker or something.
That’s where dating apps/sites come in.
They make it easier to find people in your area looking for relationships and make communication easier than ever before. Depending on your criteria, you both could be looking for the same thing and are already on the same page just by signing up for it, and with the help of niche dating sites like BalckCupid, you find exactly who you’re looking for.
If you are a Black single and looking to meet others near you and are ready to take the plunge into the world of online dating, then here is an in-depth review that will tell you everything you’d want to know before signing up for BlackCupid.

First Impression

BlackCupid has a very user-friendly site. When you log on, it feels like a safe dating website. The first thing they let you know is that BlackCupid is free to join and if you scroll down just a bit, will see that they’re currently offering a three-month free trial to their Platinum membership.
That alone would make you want to join BlackCupid because since it’s free, you don’t have anything to lose.
Maybe time if you find that it’s a useless site, but that’s far from the truth.
All you need to input to join BlackCupid is your first name, gender, age, e-mail address, and create your password. Once you’ve entered all that information, the only thing you’ll need to do now is click on “View Singles Now” and start browsing. You can choose to complete your profile once you’re signed in, or just finish it off later and see what things BlackCupid has to offer.

Features

The first thing you notice when you’re logged onto the homepage of your BlackCupid profile is a grid of your recommended matches’ profiles with pictures. Some of these people will be far off from where you’re located, and that could be a problem if you’re not into long distance and would prefer someone to be within 30 miles of you.
But lucky for you, that is possible on BlackCupid!
All you need to do is click on the “Improve Matches” button which will take you to edit your match criteria where you can filter for what you’re looking for in a match. The requirements can range from something as simple as what body type you’re looking for (you can find anyone from a skinny girl to a BBW!!!) to if they’re willing to relocate.
Just as you can edit your match criteria you can edit your profile to show off your personality and who you are, as well as your looks. You can answer profile questions under five categories: Basics, appearance, lifestyle, background/cultural views, and in your own words. There are also two other ways to tell other members about yourself — the personality profile and your hobbies and interests. The personality profile gives you the option to write-in your own answers to questions like what your favorite movie is and how you would describe your sense of humor.
A standard feature that many dating sites have, including those belonging to Cupid Media, is an Advanced Search tool. BlackCupid’s lets you filter for all the basics, such as location, age, and gender, as well as some specifics like political views and star sign.
This is a unique one I haven’t seen before, and quite frankly, needed. I mean, you wouldn’t want to date a Gemini, would you? Much less a Trump supporter.
And even worse than that, if they were both!
These things are important.
To interact with matches you’re interested in, there are also a few different methods of showing interest on BlackCupid.
Two subtle ways to show someone you’re into them without messaging them are the “favorite” and “show interest” features. When you click “show interest” on someone’s profile, they get a notification of it, and your profile will go into their list of people who’ve shown interest, and vice versa when someone does it to you. Favorites are sort of like bookmarks; when you favorite someone, they stay in your favorites list so you can look back on and remember their profile.
Of course, the traditional online dating method of messaging someone is still an option.
Not only can you receive and send messages to people through your Inbox, but BlackCupid will also occasionally send you some messages regarding your profile and other updates.
Unfortunately, if you’re a free user, you can’t read the messages sent to you, and communication is impossible between two free users. You’ll only be able to talk to paying members. But if you do upgrade and want someone to chat with right away, you can always click on the “Members Online” number, which is always displayed, and see who’s currently online.

Pricing & Membership Benefits

Along with the messaging features, there are a few others that will be unlocked with either a Gold or Platinum membership, BlackCupid’s upgraded membership from a free account.
One of the things you’ll be able to do with a Gold account is have the ability to communicate with all members of BlackCupid regardless of their membership status. You’ll also be able to use BlackCupid’s live chat instant messenger, use the site with no ads and can hide your profile to browse anonymously.
A platinum membership unlocks everything Black Cupid has to offer. Along with both the free and Gold membership benefits, Platinum members can enjoy five extra perks. These include ranking above other members in search results, doubling your profile space, get VIP profile highlighting, exclusive search features, and advanced matching algorithms.
For both Gold and Platinum memberships, there are three monthly options to choose from. Gold memberships cost $24.98 for one month, $16.66 per month for three months (billed in one payment of $49.99), and $8.33 per month for one year (billed in one payment of $99.98). Platinum memberships amount to $29.98 for one month, $20.00 per month for three months (billed in one payment of $59.99), and $10.00 per month for one year (billed in one payment of $119.98).

Pros

You can communicate with paying members, which there are quite a few of, and can show interest and favorite people with a free membership. There’s no shortage of Black men and women on this dating site, and you’ll never find someone who doesn’t want a relationship since this is a dating site and everyone signs up with the same goal in mind.
