Many people believe that "Bedazzled" is not a very good film. That may be because of the story line or maybe the choice of acting. But my personal belief is that this film is very funny and brilliantly thought out.

Brendan Fraser plays Elliot Richards, he is at the bottom of the food chain. In plain fact he is a lonely loser. He is in love with a girl named Alison Gardner who doesn't notice him. What is he going to do if the girl he loves doesn't even see him?
So when Elliot says "Dear God I would give anything to have that girl in my life" everything gets turned upside down with the arrival of the Devil played by Elizabeth Hurley. She gives him 7 wishes and then she can have his soul forever.

Hurley's english accent and good looks, makes an unusual change to what is normally seen as the devil. She is a true tempter. Her fierce attitude shows her devil-esque-ness. Making her minipulative and a comedic character.

Fraser plays the role perfectly; he acts like a scared meek man who can easily be leaded like a lamb to the slaughter.

I like this film because of how the dreams are so well put together. When Elliot wishes to be married to Alison and extremely rich and powerful. But when he wakes up he is a Columbian Drug lord, who speaks spanish. Which means the WHOLE scene is in spanish with subtitles. It is cool hearing Brendan Fraser speak spanish and it is cool hearing it anyway. Fraser also has a very striking nose!

In these unusual scenes Elliots "friends" are also used to be part of his "new life" which gives it a more special touch. So in this columbian scenes his friends are portrayed as Roberto, Esteban and Alejandro.

Of course the wishes don't turn out how he wishes but in all these rom-coms it always ends well.

I have watched this film 3 times and everytime it has me laughing, so it is very recommendable.

The film is directed and written (screenplay) by Harold Ramis who is well known for writing the likes of "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day" and the new film with Jack Black and Michael Cera in "Year One"

This film will leave you smiling in your seats =].
