Review of Bewitched (2005) by Eric H — 03 Jan 2014
Michael Caine was great in this as he is in everything. unfortunately the rest of the movie is a self indulgent piece of cinematic detris.This was drivel. The plot was completely unbelievable and trite.
It was like they had hired Will Ferrell and needed to throw some slapstick in there just to show that he could still do it. Nicole Kidman is a great actress, and although cute in this movie, she wasn't given a chance to shine.
Ditto for Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. I liked the old TV show, but this didn't remotely do it justice. The only remotely entertaining performances were by Jason Schwartzman and Stephen Colbert.
It was unenduringly cheesy, and the musical montages were to songs like "Everybody Hurts." Come on, who has that in movies these days? Don't see this movie.
