January 21, 2009"Be warned. Be ready."
Nora Ephron directed and co-wrote this updated adaptation of a classic situation comedy that also casts a satirical eye on the entertainment industry. Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) is a movie star whose career has been going into a slow and steady decli...( read more) -
September 14, 2008I was not expecting much from what I'd heard about it, but Bewitched was really charming and fun. I liked it.

March 17, 2008Biggest Disapointment!
I love both of the stars, but sadly the best part of the film is the song from the band 'Persephone's Bees' that was played duting the begining of the film. -

The artificiality of Bewitched is so exaggerated that it almost works in the movie's favor for the first 20 minutes or so, before that heavy synthetic Ephron odor really sets in. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Screenwriters Ephron and her sister Delia are able to get laughs and make character points even in the moments of laying out a fairly involved exposition, and that's no small thing. That's skilled cra... full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Ephron seems unsure as to whether she's filming a zany retro comedy or a conventional romance, and the film zips back and forth between genres, never really settling. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
It is courageously weird -- and that alone casts a spell. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Bewitched will not cast you under its spell. It is more likely to bother and bewilder. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
Nora Ephron used to mine the tension between romantic fantasy and the real (disappointing) world for honest laughs. But now she has settled happily in big-budget star-studded chick-flick land, where i... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It's one of those movies where you smile and laugh and are reasonably entertained, but you get no sense of a mighty enterprise sweeping you along with its comedic force. There is not a movie here. Jus... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The kind of movie where the lulls between jokes are brief and you leave the theater a little happier than when you came in. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Stepping into Montgomery's shoes is a thankless task, but Kidman comes across as preternaturally flustered by everything that heightened the serenity of her predecessor. full review

January 18, 2007I absolutely do not like Will Ferrell. Most movies he is in is ruined by him. If I may be frank. But he has his funny moments. Nichole Kidman was gorgous in this!! She was perfect for the part.
