September 17, 2008Incredibly funny film with the brilliant Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Don't bother with the terrible remake, stick to the original.

Very dated, bit bleak, but I cant get enuff of this flick. It reminds me so much of WITHNAIL & I. Classic Brit comedy at its best. I miss Pete & Dud.

The Orginal Movie....not the remake..
great funny movie... Wriiten by Dudley Moore & Peter Cook.. (a dead ringer for the Beatle.."George Harrison")
It's surely Dated.. but a funny film, all I have to say..is you would blow raspberries if it was you too... -
July 30, 2008despite the feel of a joke too long and a weak ending still a welcome addition to the pantheon of brit comedy. cook has a roaring good time as george spiggot, who is really beezlebub, mr. scratch, mephistopheles, and legion, and he's trying to get back into heaven with every dirty trick he can pull. dudley moore paves his way to hollywood fame and fortune in this romp that spares no prisoners, particularly catholic ones, as the schlump who sells his soul for the girl of his dreams, eleanor bron, as always, the unreachable, yet articulate, object of desire. better the the remake, but you've heard that rather cliche saying before, haven't you?

July 23, 2008All right, you great git, you've asked for it. I'll cover the world in Tastee-Freez and Wimpy Burgers. I'll fill it with concrete runways, motorways, aircraft, television, automobiles, advertising, plastic flowers, frozen food and supersonic bangs. I'll make it so noisy and disgusting that even you'll be ashamed of yourself! No wonder you've so few friends; you're unbelievable!

June 17, 2008A funny movie. Very good.
A man makes a deal with he devil to try to win the woman he loves. I would recommend this version over the newer version any day (those that know me know that I usually prefer original movies over remakes). It has alot of stars in it. Peter Cook plays the devil who goes by the name of George Spiggot. Dudley Moore is the man who wants to win the love. Even Raquel Welch is in this movie as the incarnation of Lust.
I say that everyone should see this movie at least once. -

How far will a man go to win the woman he loves? That's the devilish question behind this satirical romantic comedy. 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.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's attempt at a feature long film. The movie was an over-stretched sketch and over-done. Not too bad movie, but not good movie either.

Hysterical and Too bad the did a remake. Original was just SO FUNNY!
Jut a wonderful, worth seeing film -
November 28, 2007I'd sell my soul to the devil to sleep with a young Racquel Welch. Just not sure I want to see Dudley Moore do it. Watching him bag Bo Derek in "10" was difficult enough to take.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's attempt at a feature long film. Some argue that its an over-stretched sketch and over-done. I disagree - I think its a really good idea, planned out really well by them. I just hate the remake.

A fun premise that wears out its welcome with an overly long running time. If they kept each of the dream sequences a bit shorter this would be a solid classic comedy. As it stands the film coasts along largely on Cook and Moore chemistry and the all consuming lust that drenches virtually every frame.

Why Stanley wanted Ms. Spencer, I'll never know... but I'm glad he did. This movie is a comedic goldmine in my book, and a gem of British comedy. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are one of my favorite comedy pairings and this movie is a great example of how well they worked together (at least on screen). They fill me with inertia.
-
August 3, 2007So much better than its shameful update!
Stemming from the great acting and onscreen chemistry, the 60's take on Bedazzled is actually quite entertaining. The constant, relentless banter between Peter Cook and Dudley Moore provides life and enjoyment to the film, unlike the dull remake. -
July 20, 2007
Pete and Dud before the filth. Very rooted in it's time but charmingly so - 'Bedazzled' is a treat for all surrealists and fans of Monty Python.

o i dont remember all of it but i remeber i thought it was bad like not appropriate but i remeber thinking it was good at the same time so ya

So silly and bloody hilarious!! This original is my favorite of the two. Peter Cook is a devilish straight-man to Dudley Moore's wacky soul-selling sidekick.
-
April 1, 2007Ooh, I never saw the end to this movie. Where can I get ahold of it? I think it might be in moratorium.

No rating.March 28, 2007
Disappointing movie with not so great visual effects. The transformations Brendan Fraser went through were pretty decent.
-
March 23, 2007
This original is so much better than the remake.No comparison. Peter Cook in his red devil socks is the perfect devil,

I think I saw the first few minutes of this and got too bored to continue. I'm sure the new one with Brendan Fraser blows this one out of the water.

I like this film. It is naughty and fun. Dudley Moore is great in this film and Peter Cook sparkles with impishness as the devil.
-
January 29, 2007
It's an excellent combination of dry humor and manic absurdity perfectly embodied by Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. This movie contains probably the funniest adultery scene in history.
-
January 9, 2007
Classic British dark comedy. Clever screenplay based on the " selling your soul to the Devil" story with performances by Cook & Moore that hold up as hilarious decades later. The tragedy is the remake !

Peter Cook's best role and Dudley Moore's start to stardome, in this cleverly written vehicle for one of England's smartest comedy-acts. 'Bedazzled' might have dated set pieces but the ideas were so smart, it spawned a remake (and a decent one at that!), but it is the original that offers the most off the wall fun. Moore as a raspberry blowing nun and Cook's petty devil, too shrug-of-shoulders for any real malice, content with bogus phone calls and duping old ladies, are worth the watch alone. It's very funny, very clever and an example of Cook and Moore's fantastic chemistry. A scene with them discussing the taxation of Moore's lustful wife is a perfect example of the brilliant wordplay they were known for and a testment that no matter how dated a film might seem, comic genuis is timeless!

Time after time Peter Cook's devil finds a way to turn the wishes of Dudley Moore's shlub to disadvantge. Raquel Welch is Lillian Lush, the Babe with a Bust, and the other six deadly sins are similarly anthropomorphized. Great fun, especially Cook as a deadpan rock and roll singer.

So funny and irreverant. They tossed in punch lines where you least expected them, and it was loaded with the subtle wit Americans always say the Brits have. Aside from that, it's just really well thought out. The only downside would be that it is definitely somewhat of a timepiece, so it would help to have your mother or father around. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be considering what's in this movie. God, I thought I loved the Pythons, but I think I was sadly mistaken ... Bedazzled kills The Holy Grail.
