Wow, was this movie crap. I hate Brendan Fraser. I have yet to see a good performance by him. He tried in Crash- failed. Mummy? Yeah, it was straight up blockbuster B-movie but he still failed. This movie? My gosh... Anyways, this movie sucked, it was boring and not funny. Don't ... read more

How far will a man go to win the woman he loves? That's the devilish question behind this satirical romantic comedy. Elliot Richards (Brendan Fraser), a low-level white-collar worker, has fallen in lo... read more

A tiny bit of everything. Dark Humor, Senti moments, Devlish...etc Nice to watch when nothing better running.

A pretty good goofy comedy as a nerdy guy gets 7 wishes, granted by the sexy devil Elizabeth Hurley, to win his dream girl over. However the wishes never quite turn out how he expected. Funny in places and Hurley does look quite hot in her outfits. Has it fair share of funny scenes.

Delivers laughs at a rather more than intermittent rate, and Elizabeth Hurley is a fun devil.
A positively divine comedy.
More than funny. And despite the subtle accents of brimstone and sulphur, a breath of fresh air.
Brendan Fraser is one funny, mixed-up guy. And as Ms. Lucifer, the new scourge of Fraser's life, Elizabeth Hurley crackles with sexy sarcasm. Full Review
