Advantages: Briefly entertaining Disadvantages: Annoying performances, poor script and storyline
...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 ...

...Plot~
For anyone who doesn't know, Bewitched was a TV series which ran from 1964-1972. Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha - a witch who would cast spells by wiggling her nose, who married a mortal Darrin.
Jack Wyatt (played by Will Ferrell) is a famous actor, with a hugely inflated ego. He is starring as Darrin in a remake of the TV series bewitched, and decides to cast an unknown actress as Samantha, so that all the focus will be on him. ...

Advantages: It made me Exercise! Disadvantages: Boring and not funny!
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.

Advantages: Good Cast. Disadvantages: Everything Else.

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 ...

...to be nothing but the bewitched backdrop with all the key aspects that made the show removed.
There was no sparkle no pizzazz and most of all no magic in my eyes, it just seemed like they had made a laughing stock of the show and all that it had ever represented.
Nicole Kidman who played Isabel Bigelow/Samantha and Will Ferrell who played Jack Wyatt/Darrin must have hidden in shame knowing that they had anything to do with this cult series ...

Advantages: It's mindless entertainment Disadvantages: Could have done with more acid wit and stronger performances
Fading star Jack Wyatt is given one more shot at the big time when he's offered the role of Darrin in a remake of the "Bewitched" TV series. He wants an unknown to play his Samantha and he picks Isabel Bigelow after spotting her in book shop. But what he doesn't know is that Isabel really is a witch…
You know where you are with a Nora Ephron movie; populated by cutesy characters full of sassy dialogue and capped off by a sugary ending that features ...
