I went to Bewitched planning on seeing a fun and hilarious Summer flick. I was both pleased and disappointed.
I love Will Ferell from Saturday Night Live and I wasn't disappointed by his spazzed out character. He is hysterical and carries the movie where his co-star Nicole Kidman falls apart. Which is - everywhere. Nicole Kidman is both one of the best things about this movie, and one of its biggest faults. She has her enchanting moments, but those are few and they aren't very memorable. Michael Cain is really quite good in this movie, just like in every other movie he's in. His character of Isabel's father is reminiscent of his character of Vic in "Miss Congeniality". Then there is the adorable Kristin Chenoweth who will make you laugh with her ditsy antics.
Be prepared, this movie is nothing like the TV series and it doesn't try to be. So in many ways, it's not that bad. I loved the first 2/3 of the movie. Until Jack and Isabel fell in love. Than the entire movie just fell apart. Most of the humor disappeared as the conflict tried to resolve itself. Honestly, the ending sucks.
Still, it's an okay movie. You can see it if you want, but don't expect anything excessively spectacular.
