Bewitched (DVD)

Jack Wyatt is an egotistical actor who wants to star in a film remake of Bewitched as Darrin, preferably without his co-star, the lovely Samantha, having much of a role at all. To this end, he insists on a co-star with the same kind of nose-wiggle as the original Samantha, but after hundreds of interviews, he is not content with anyone...until he runs into Isabel in a book shop. Persuading Isabel, who is really a witch trying to be an ordinary mortal, to take on the role is fairly easy and things initially go smoothly, until Isabel realises what Jack's game is and starts using spells to get ... more

I never watched Bewitched when it was on the television so really this was the first time I come across it. I mean don't get me wrong I knew the gist of the story but I can't remember any of the characters or anything. I went to see this with my friend at the cinema, my friend walked out thinking it was amazing and pretty funny whereas I thought it was a load of rubbish. I'd been wanting to see it again, I mean it is the kind of film which I would usually find myself watching and loving. So I really wanted to give the film another go, to see if I had change my ways. The story.... Isabel ... more

When I was younger I used to love watching the TV show Bewitched, so when I heard they were making it into a movie I was really excited. Really excited that was, until I heard what the plot was - then I wasn't so excited. And then I read several reviews panning it, followed by an appearance by Nicole Kidman (the main character) on Jonathan Ross' show, where she did the infamous nose wiggle - only she wasn't actually doing it - she was just moving her mouth from side to side. I put all ideas of watching it out of my mind, but when I noticed it was on TV yesterday, I decided I'd give it a ... more

When I first found out they were making a film version of Bewitched I could not wait because I was a huge fan of the series. Finding out the starring cast of Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell I was thinking, wow Hollywood have got this right what a great cast and a great idea to do a film based on the series. Then I found out it was not just an extended episode of the series which disappointed me a little and then I heard such awful reviews the whole time it was out in the cinema. When it came to DVD I did say I would give it a go despite all of the bad press and last Saturday me, my Mom and my ... more

From 1964-1972, we saw the making of a family light hearted comical series known as Bewitched. This series cast a spell across the whole nation and beyond. My Family grew up with the hit comedy series and to this day still watch the re-runs on the sky network, so when I heard that a film had been commissioned to commemorate celebrate its fine comedy and family viewing I was certainly intrigued. So in 2005 the film was released by Columbia Pictures and the nation flocked to the cinema to watch, I personally did not have the time due to other commitments to get to the big screen, but as soon as ... more
