Elliot Richards (Brendan Fraser), a low-level white-collar worker, has fallen in love with his co-worker Allison (Frances O'Connor), who barely knows he exists. Desperate to win her love, sad sack Elliot is approached by the Devil (Elizabeth Hurley), who offers him seven wishes in exchange for his soul. Elliot accepts, but none of his wishes works out quite the way that he had hoped; after transforming himself into a South American tycoon, a champion NBA basketball player, a famous author, the most sensitive man in the world, and even the president of the United States, Elliot discovers that the Devil has added a crucial loophole each time, and for all his troubles, Allison still isn't interested in him. Directed by Harold Ramis, Bedazzled was adapted from the 1968 cult movie of the same name written by and starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Watchable as she may be, Hurley is not the Devil for this movie.
-
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Delivers laughs at a rather more than intermittent rate, and Elizabeth Hurley is a fun devil.
-
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com
[Hurley and Fraser] make this film a whole lot better than it should have been.
-
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So over the top you'll either enjoy it or be bothered and bewildered by it.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Another pointless, ludicrously bad remake.
