January 29, 2011Good movie and funny too!
Will Ferrell is Jack Wyatt an actor with minimal talent whose career has been declining steadily. Desperately seeking something that will boost his sagging career and his self esteem, Jack agrees to star in a re-make of the TV show Bewitched on the cond... read more -
January 25, 2011I really don't know what to say. It's nowhere near as bad as some people say it is, but it's definitely not what i'd call good. Nicole Kidman is actually the best part, she played Samantha just as good as her TV counterpart. Unsurprisingly, Will Ferrell took things too far and ma... read more

January 20, 2011You have to admire Nora Ephron's "Bewitched" for bring one of the few films to dare cross the line into pure meta-romantic comedy. This is a genre that is extremely rare, obviously. The most famous example is probably "The Purple Rose of Cairo" by Woody Allen. While "Bewitched" n... read more

November 2, 2010Probably the worst idea for a film in the history of cinema, everyone involved should feel very ashamed of themselves, it is awful!

August 2, 2010Easy enough to watch, but what you really want is laughs and something that stays true to the actual show it's based off of.

What the hell is Will Ferrell doing to his career? Full Review

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
What this revival needs is a good kick in the pants. And that Ephron and friends lack the low cunning to deliver. Full Review

The Ephron sisters, sophisticates entrusted with a simple TV situation comedy, lose the magic of the com as they mess with the sit. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
In the original TV series, Elizabeth Montgomery had this kind of sexy, subversive personality. Here we just have this naďve person who just flits about. Full Review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The artificiality of Bewitched is so exaggerated that it almost works in the movie's favor for the first 20 minutes or so, before that heavy synthetic Ephron odor really sets in. Full Review

A phony and cynical look at how Hollywood might make or remake a television show. Full Review

Screenwriters Ephron and her sister Delia are able to get laughs and make character points even in the moments of laying out a fairly involved exposition, and that's no small thing. That's skilled cra... Full Review

After Kidman and Ferrell have hit all the expected marks (meet cute, encounter obstacles, fall in love, encounter fatal setback, fall back in love), the movie winds up being hoist on its own petard, b... Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
For one thing, it looks every bit as drab as the average 1966 sitcom did: overlit, flat, studiobound and phony. For another, it's just as unfunny as the original. Full Review
