Storyline

Rebecca Murphy is a cynical, down-on-love widow whose whole world revolves around her son, Justin, 12, a budding musician who can't remember his late father. Rebecca has no desire to date despite efforts by her feisty neighbor, Olive, who has a love advice column called Call Me Cupid. When Olive is pressured by her editor to get with the times, she enlists Justin to help her answer a letter. Unbeknownst to Justin, she publishes his advice under the alter ego, Cupid's Proxy. Justin goes ballistic until Olive makes him a deal he can't refuse. When Call Me Cupid receives a letter from someone who can only be Justin's guitar teacher, Stewart, Justin springs into action. He creates yet another alter ego even Olive doesn't know about in an attempt to get Stewart together with his mother. When his plans come crashing down, Justin has to come clean to both his mother and Stewart. Will all his efforts be in vain or will Rebecca finally decide to take another chance on love?



Short Review

Cupid's Proxy imagines a world in which newspapers still employ advice columnists like the Landers' sisters and paid them well enough to live in toney suburbs. The advice columnist here is Olive aka Cupid (Jackee Harry) whose advice column has grown stale and out of touch, much like the newspaper that still employs an advice columnist. To spice up her column Olive turns to the actual star of Cupid's Proxy, 12 year old Disney star Jet Jurgensmeyer as 12 year old Justin Murphy. https://geeks.media/movie-review-cupid-s-proxy?_ga=2.22471163.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710
