Summary: enjoyable cheese
Review: I bought this movie the day it came out because I enjoyed it profusely when I saw it in the theatres. Sure, it didn't have me rolling on the floor with laughter at any point during the film, and mostly all I got was a smirk on most of the jokes. Still, I found it enjoyable because of Hurley and O'Connor as Fraser's wannabe girlfriend. Hurley plays Satan as if she were a naughty girl stuck in an eternal job who gets her kicks by mucking up people's lives in little ways (such as snapping parking meters due). If you enjoy cheesy films, and cheeky female power figures, I say go for it.

Summary: Not funny and boring
Review: I'm awfully glad I rented this before I spent money for it. I bailed out after about 15 minutes. Bedazzled was quite "undazzling." I found it hokey with absolutely no punch. This is Brendan Fraser at a low point.

Summary: Give It A Chance
Review: Ok..so it isn't Mrs. Doubtfire or Scary Movie, but it has something, or should I say someone, Mr. Fraser. If you read the other critiques, you'll know the basic plot: Man wants woman and sells his soul for seven wishes which get twisted by beautiful person known as Satan.I don't think I could suggest that you purchase this movie unless you are a true blue fan of any of the actors/actresses or the director. The players played a good game with some geeky dialogue. HOWEVER, I feel Mr. Fraser did an outstanding job playing seven different "characters" within one film (if Eddie Murphy can receive credit for doing this, why shouldn't Brendan???) Rent it just to see if you like it. My friend was rather pleased when we saw it in the theatre. He thought he would hate it. Let me state this final thought, though, if you enjoy Brendan Fraser in other films, you must see him in "Gods and Monsters." He aptly shows his acting ability in this film without flaw.

Summary: Don't buy this DVD
Review: I saw this movie in the theaters, and I can't stress enough what a snoozfest this movie is. I'm sure you all know what it's about so I'm not gonna write out the whole plot. The only reason I stayed awake during this movie was for some of the sexy outfits Elizabeth Hurly wore. But other than that, this movie is terribly written, the only funny are what you see in the trailers, do yourself a favor, save yourself some money and don't buy this.

Summary: Doesn't hold a candle to the original.
Review: And don't you DARE say, "...what original?" A history lesson, if you will. Once upon a time, Dudley Moore and Peter Cook made a screamingly funny movie called "Bedazzled," about a loser who tries to sell his soul to the devil to get his heart's desire. The way that movie established the devil's wickedness was wonderfully deft and subtle: one of his hobbies is to go into bookstores and tear out the last pages of Agatha Christie novels. (And don't forget the magic word: "Julie Andrews!") The movie had personality, charm, wit, and a peculiarly British sense of humor that worked through restraint and subtlety. Fast-forward to the year 2000, where "Bedazzled" has been remade as an American movie with Brendan Fraser as the schlub and Elizabeth Hurley as the devil. There's a problem here: right from the git-go, we don't buy Hurley as Satan. She's just too friendly to the camera, too pleasant to look at and listen to. As a result, we don't really take her seriously, and none of the laughs we get out of her seem more than forced. (There is one inspired moment where Hurley rubs the proof for Fermat's Last Theorem off a blackboard, but the problem is -- it was already solved five years ago. Sorry, guys, but that's just not in the same category as gutting Dame Agatha.) The movie makes another mistake that I've found endemic among so-called "comedies" these days: it wimps out. The original movie was snide and satirical all the way down to the end. This one actually starts taking its stupid story seriously, and forces us to believe in scenes that don't belong in a comedy at all. Sure, there are funny moments, but they seem mostly within the first 20-30 minutes. By the time the film is really rolling, it's already out of gas. Fraser is the one very good thing in this movie. He's probably one of the best comic actors we have right now (and in "The Mummy," he deftly combines comedy with macho schtick, too). He's extremely enjoyable in a movie that doesn't give him much of a chance to be REALLY funny -- especially when the structure of the film, which grows all-too-familiar after the 2nd or 3rd iteration, undercuts him. In the words of another critic: the movie never achieves escape velocity. It's content to do a too-safe retelling of a too-familiar story, which feels too much like a joke that was funny in fifth grade but is now just getting thin. Very thin.

Summary: A Devilishly Fun Time
Review: Let's face it, BEDAZZLED is not a classic piece of cinematic art. What it is, however, is an ejoyable romp featuring top-notch performances in Brendan Fraser and Elisabeth Hurley. This flick features Fraser as a sweet,put-upon nerdy office worker, who has a serious crush on a girl at work and who is basically treated as an outcast to be avoided by his fellow employees. After another day of humiliation, he meets a sexy devil (Hurley) who offers him 7 wishes in exchange for his soul. What happens next are very funny takes on the old " be careful what you wish for" axiom. Fraser is very funny in his various roles and his performance provides a solid center to this film. Elisabeth Hurley is obviously having a blast in a role tailor-made for her, and her sex appeal is put to great use here. Of course, not all the comic bits work completely, but they still are amusing, while the more successful ones are gut-busting funny. Director Harold Ramis keeps the film going at a good clip so it doesn't drag. Overall, this is a fun film that really gives you a "devil" of a time. Recommended.

Summary: If you liked the commercials, you'll like the movie
Review: This movie is what it claims to be. It's a funny, simple film about a guy wishing to be what he thinks will make him happy. This comes with a good, old fashioned lesson about being who we are and all that..... I would have given this film a 3, but the incredible performances of both Fraser (Encino Man, Gods and Monsters) and Hurley (Austin Powers, Permanent Midnight) make me really like this movie. Fraser is perfect as the lovable loser Elliot. His geeky personality is painful to watch and makes you route for some intervention, even the devil. When his wishes take turns for the worse is when Fraser is really showing a lot of comedic talent. He ability to show the different personas with the changes is great fun. Hurley is as about as sexy as the devil can be. She makes all the horrible things she does seem a little more fun. You may want to own this one. It's worth having for when you have friends over.

Summary: UNFUNNY!!!
Review: Nerdy office worker Elliott (Brendan Fraser), wishes that a co-worker Allison (Frances O'Connor) would be in love with him, the problem is after four years of working together, Allison doesn't even know he exists. Once Elliot has wished for Allison's affection, The Devil appears in the form of a beautiful woman (Elizabeth Hurley), explaining she can grant seven wishes...in exchange for his soul. Will Elliot get the girl of his dreams, or will The Devil possess his soul? After suffering through 90 minutes of this movie, I felt like I had been in hell. "Bedazzled" is unfunny, and boring. Given the opportunity to have some comedic scenes, due in part to the wishes going bad, the movie falls flat by using every obvious joke that just DID NOT work. Brendan Fraser, transforming characters through makeup changes in each wish, does the best he can with the unfunny role of Elliot, and Elizabeth Hurley is stunningly beautiful as The Devil, but other than that, this is just a BAD movie. The license plate on the Devil's car in the movie sums up the entire film...BAD 1. .... ...
