Bedazzled

Pros: Fraser has some good moments
Cons: The rest of the film doesn't

Harold Ramis's Bedazzled is a movie far too nice and kind-hearted, given the subject matter. It's a remake of Stanley Donen's 1967 British film, which starred the comedy team of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. In it, a man (Moore) sells his soul to...

Pros: Elizabeth Hurley, wearing small, tight outfits.
Cons: The Devil is not on the screen every moment of this film.

Elizabeth Hurley is shown far to little in this film. That is the main thing wrong with Bedazzled. But thankfully, Elizabeth "The best thing to ever come out of England" Hurley, does make a bunch of appearances in either very small outfits, or very tight...

Pros: Watching Elizabeth Hurley on my TV screen
Cons: Umm...can any of these guys act?

Have you ever watched a film that tries to portray a message so profound yet fails in portraying the message miserably? Have you ever watched a film and said to yourself, "uhh, why are you telling the same old bullcr*p I learned in other movies years...

Pros: Nice cast
Cons: Very little chemistry

Bedazzled is a movie about the devil...and it's for kids! As soon as I heard that this was a remake of a movie from the 60's, almost all my hopes were diminished. If it weren't for the desire to see Elizabeth Hurley in various tight, red outfits, I...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Not that funny after the first 20 minutes ....

I’m not into comedy movies that much, but I do love to see the movies that Brendon Fraser plays in. I really loved him in “Blast from the Past, and Encino Man”. Brendon has a style of his own when it comes to making people laugh, so that was the main...

Pros: A handful of funny gags; Elizabeth Hurley is very easy on the eyes.
Cons: Predictable, juvenile, and silly (which could all be forgiven if it were funnier!)

Based on a comedy starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Bedazzled is almost stunningly free of strong laughs. Several scenes are presented so we all know where we're supposed to laugh, but I've never been a fan of Pavlovian comedies such as these. Punch...

Pros: Funny
Cons: lacks any depth

This is the kind of movie you watch if you just want to laugh. There isn't any real message behind the movie but it is still a lot of fun to watch. If you get anything from the movie it is that you should be careful what you wish for and that the only...

Pros: Consistently funny. Brendan Fraser shows versatility.
Cons: Not as funny as it could be.

Don’t see Bedazzled for intelligent insight into good and evil. Or for witty, insightful barbs on the Human condition. You won’t find any of that. Hell, you won’t even find great writing or acting, unless you count Brendan Fraser, who did a great...

Pros: Great characterizations by Brendan Fraser
Cons: Not as clever as the original 1967 version

Directed by Harold Ramis
Written by Peter Cook (1967)

Very funny remake of 1967's version done by Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. The devil in this version is a gorgeous female (Elizabeth Hurley), which gives it a spicy twist.

...

Pros: A Few Good Chuckles...
Cons: Overall Too Silly.

I certainly wasn't expecting a sophisticated comedy when I bought my ticket for Bedazzled, which stars Brendan Fraser (The Mummy) as a befuddled introvert who has a chance to turn his lonely life around when he is offered...

Pros: Hurley and Fraser are entertaining as always
Cons: The material is thin, and not worthy of the talent of the movie's stars

You'd think with such a dependable cast and crew, not to mention the time-honored premise, the new comedy Bedazzled would leave audiences breathless with laughter. After all, director Harold Ramis has helmed such funny favorites as Groundhog Day,...

Pros: Elizabeth Hurley's costumes.
Cons: Elizabeth Hurley.

Now that my association with 'Fillies' is over, I have to find a new project worthy of my talents. I called Joseph, my literary manager to see what had crossed his desk recently that might have a suitable part for me. The Jujamcyn production company...

Pros: Fraser does a fine job playing multiple characters
Cons: The good vs evil motif is getting old

I finally had a chance to see the much-talked about movie Bedazzled starring Brendan Fraser (Elliot Richards), Elizabeth Hurley (The Devil), Frances O'Connor (Alison Gardner), Orlando Jones (Dan), and Miriam Shor (Carol), directed by Harold Ramis.
...

Pros: Many funny moments; outstanding performances; brilliant satire.
Cons: Not exactly an original story; could've been even funnier.

Writer/director Harold Ramis' movies are often difficult to review because they're just so good and solid it's hard to pick up on a particular aspect or niche and write about. "Bedazzled" is a good example of this. It's a straight comedy about a loser ...

Pros: Pretty Funny, Good Acting, Nice Ending
Cons: Predictable, Silly

Sometimes when boredom sets in, I'll be up for watching anything. This was the case when I happened to watch Bedazzled; a silly comedy about a man who makes a deal with the devil.

Elliot Richards (played by Brendan Fraser) is a big nerd...
