MCT:July 11, 2008This is one of the most frustrating films I've ever seen. Not because it's bad, far from it actually, but because I can only imagine how disgraced and betrayed Alec Baldwin must have felt. The Devil and Daniel Webster is such a fine, rich story, and to see it renamed, butchered, and undistributed because of the lack of funds is saddening, truly heartbreaking.
There are glimpses of pure genius that you'll find throughout the movie, my guess is those glimpses are what Baldwin has brought upon us. Anthony Hopkins is fantastic, and the cast turns in nice performances. If there is one downfall, it is Jennifer Love Hewitt. I love her to death, but when going up against Hopkins and Baldwin, she gets destroyed.
It's a pretty good movie, and damn hard to find I might add. I'm happy to have watched it, but I feel a great amount of sympathy for Baldwin. Bob Yari productions, burn in Hell! -
MCT:April 24, 2008Might like it, probably not though. It doesn't sound very deep and meaningful, but I want to watch it just to know for sure.

Una comedia ligera que muestra a un diablo muy sexy encarnado en Love Hewitt y un contrato tan injusto como siempre el diablopuede ofrecer, es solo para pasar el rato. Alec Baldwin tiene que renunciar a su carrera como actor ya!!

MCT:December 22, 2007A Disappointment
This Movie Could've Been Waay Better But The Story Is Weak
And Alec Baldwin Was A Wrong Choice
Jennifer Love Hewitt Is Very Talented But Not For The Devil Role ( SHe's Ok But Not great Like Elizabeth Hurley In Beddazzled ) -
MCT:November 28, 2007an adult film that justifies of not what does a man have, to accomplish but what he do to people that makes him at least successful.

Very silly movie,yet good.The direction is quite strange,and sometimes it looks like an TV movie.But it is very nice to see great actors like Hopkins and Baldwin acting together,they are the ones that sustained the movie.
I just think they should have chosen another actor for Devil.Love Hewitt didn't make it.And the end is very predictable and cliche too. -
MCT:October 8, 2007Alec Baldwin says to boycott it. He directed it in 2001 and it never got released. Now he says his name has been removed from the directing credit and replaced by a ficticious name and tells everyone to avoid it (Film Review, Sept 2007, pg. 18)

This looks like "Bedazzled" meets "Trading Places" meets "the Simpsons", episode 86 where Homer sells his soul for a doughnut. C'mon Dan Akroyd, The whole One guy wins the other loses thing has already been done. You of all people should know that.

MCT:July 13, 2007I'm conflicted by this one. Anthony Hopkins is rarley seen in bad movies and Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Love Hewitt are often funny in lesser movies, however, the Shortcut to Happiness seems kindof overdone as far as plot lines go.

I just barely feel like seeing this, I probably won't see it in theatres but I might see it on DVD. The original film with Tony Huston was done very well and the short story it's based off of was fantastic, it's too bad this looks like it won't do it any justice. Though I do like that they are bringing the story back, I just wish they would have kept it closer to the actual book. What I would have done was have Jack Nicholson play the devil (now I know that that would be kind of overdone but that's kind of what you want to portray the devil) and keep Dan Aykroyd out of it. Either way, it could be good, we'll just have to wait and see.

even with alll the relatively big name actors in it, it just does not come up to par. the trailer was boring and dull...definitely not interested.

If only they'd make the novel "I, Lucifer" by Duncan Glen into a movie. We'll see how this one does. Poster looks dangerously close to the one for the remake of "Bedazzled" though. Or is it "Shall We Dance"? Whichever.

an overused premise... but an interesting cast and a unique director. it wont be Bedazzled or whatever the Brendan Fraiser and Elizabeth Hurley version of this plot was called but it has potential.
