BEDAZZLED (2000) - ♦♦

Directed by - Harold Ramis

Written by - Larry Gelbart, Harold Ramis, Peter Tolan (based on the 1967 movie written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore)

Starring - Brandan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley

 

"In this remake of the 1967 film of the same name, originally written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, a hopeless sap is granted seven wishes by the devil to snare the girl of his dream in exchange for his soul. 

 

Bedazzled starts off on a high, but as it progresses it becomes clear that it is a one trick pony and as the joke wears thin so does its interest level. Despite a likeable performance by Brandan Fraser and a steamy turn by the beautiful Elizabeth Hurley as a temptress incarnation of the devil, this Harold Ramis film is a forgettable affair.
