Synopsis:
Two days before
Valentine's Day, Cupid (Kyle Stone) is told by Jupiter to get busy making
couples fall in love or he'll end up pushing a barge on river Styx. Cupid
complains that it's difficult to make people fall in love without a love
of his own but Jupiter is unsympathetic. Cupid's first stop is the office
of the tyrannical Chester Frum (Dillion day), who's making his secretary
Stacy (Stacy Valentine) cancel her plans for the weekend to help his wife
Susie (Shelby Myne) plan a party. Cupid tries to shoot Stacy with one of
his magic arrows but, drunk on ambrosia, he misses and shoots Mr. Frum,
who ends up rolling around on his desk with the uptight Ms. Lorton (Keisha).
Meanwhile, Stacy receives some comforting from her boyfriend Ted (Mark
Davis) in the supply closet. However, Ted turns out to be an asshole when
he decides to enjoy the romantic cabin he and Stacy rented...without her.
At Mrs. Frum's party, Cupid again tries to shoot Stacy with one of his
arrows but accidentally creates a threesome with Stacy and another couple
(Heather Lynn and Steve Hatcher). Mrs. Frum soon gets in on the action
by seducing Ms. Lorton...with a little help from one of Cupid's arrows.
One by one, the party guests fall prey to Cupid's wayward shafts. When
Mr. Frum arrives, he wonders why his wife is strutting around in her underwear,
until Cupid's magic puts his mind on other things. Back at the office on
Monday morning, Stacy is more miserable than ever, while Jupiter berates
Cupid for having failed to make Stacy fall in love. When Cupid retaliates
by telling Jupiter how mortals are superior to gods because of their capacity
to love, Jupiter decides to teach Cupid a lesson by stripping him of his
powers and making him a mortal. Seeing a strange man in a dress appearing
in her office, Stacy doesn't believe he's Cupid until he starts reciting
the name of every boy she was in love with in grade school. Cupid apologizes
for failing to find a love for Stacy but Jupiter decides to see how Cupid
really likes the pitfalls of love by shooting Stacy with one of Cupid's
arrows and making her fall for him.
Type of mind control: Magic
Mind control scenes:
Several people
feel the effects of Cupid's arrows in this movie. The first two are Mr.
Frum and Miss Norton who end up making love on Mr. Frum's desk. At Mrs.
Frum's party, Cupid shoots just about everyone, including Stacy, the Frums,
Miss Norton and her boyfriend and another couple. In the end, Stacy is
shot with one of Cupid's arrows by Jupiter and falls for Cupid himself.
Subjective Rating:
4 out of 5
The only real
problem I had with the mind control in this movie is the confusion between
love and lust. Cupid's arrows don't make people fall in love like Cupid
says they do. Instead, they drive the people they hit into a sexual frenzy.
Then again, what else can you expect from an adult movie. The effect of
the arrows is portrayed only moderately well. Most of the people hit with
Cupid’s arrows look like they've got the hots for each other even before
they're shot. The best mind control is probably demonstrated by Miss Norton,
who goes from uptight executive to horny slut when she's shot in Mr. Frum's
office and whose reluctance to Mrs. Frum's sapphic advances suddenly disappear
when she's shot at Mrs. Frum's party.
