Movie star Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) has hit a rough patch in his career. Looking to make a comeback, he signs on to play the role of Darrin in a movie version of the popular 1960s sitcom "Bewitched." Jack insists that an unknown is hired to play Darrin's better half, the beguiling witch-housewife Samantha, so the studio finds an up-and-comer named Isabel Bigelow (Nicole Kidman). Once shooting begins, though, Jack learns that Isabel was cast too well -- since she actually is a witch.

Critics Consensus

Bewitched is haunted by scattered laughs and a lack of direction.

There may be special effects aplenty here, but precious little magic.

By the tepid ending, the movie appears to have been sedated.

Despite the intriguing set-up, formula proves as hard a habit for Ephron to kick as magic is for Isabel.

There are possibly two genuine laughs in the entire movie.

2/5

An uneasy mixture of special effects movie and romantic comedy without ever really committing to either one.

From the twitch of Nicole's nose to the comedically appropriate soundtrack ... there is a nostalgic magic that is, let's face it - simply bewitching! Witches Honor!

Answers the question: "What would happen if you let the author of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle write and direct a film-remake of the TV show Bewitched?"

This here film demonstrates the depiction of Exceptionalism. But, is totally humorous.

Classic will ferrel. The inside pokes at Hollywood make it worth watching. The script is not great, and predictable.
