Review of Bewitched (2012) by Eric E — 23 May 2009
Jack Wyatt (Willl Ferrell) is a big shot Hollywood actor who won't do a new show based on 'Bewitched" unless they can find a nobody to be in the part of Samanta in the new show so that he remains the sole star of the show. He finds said nobody in the form of Isabel (Nicole Kidman), who happens to be a real witch who just wants to live a normal life. Who is very hesitant to take the part but at the same time is inexplicably attracted to Jack, much to the chagrin of her dad ,Nigel (Micheal Caine), who sees her new acting job as a modern day minstrel show for the witchy set. But when she feels unwanted, she reverts back to her witchy woman ways. Wow this movie was just awful. Not only did I not laugh even once, I actually felt a little bit sorry for everyone involved. Well some more so than others obviously. Micheal Caine deserves SO MUCH better, I mean the man's an icon. This is Will Ferrell's worst movie to date, and trust me if you ever saw "Superstar", you'd understand the enormity of that statement, and Kidman well OK she just picks crappy movies throughout her career. But I digress, this is a movie that no one should have to ever sit through.
My Grade: F.
Where I saw it: Starz on Demand.
