80Something of a featherweight, but it's also a positively divine comedy.
-
80Outrageous fun.
-
75Fraser and Hurley are terrifically matched for their interplay, and some of the writing is so smart it outclasses the film's cartoonish feel.
-
75The ending is a disappointment, a perfunctory upbeat gesture.
-
70The 2000 version is louder, broader and much, much bigger.
-
70Fraser is one funny, mixed-up guy
-
63As for Ramis, he's no Stanley Donen. He can make us laugh, but he can't make a movie dance.
-
63It's a cute and clever good-vs-evil parable.
-
63It's like your appendix - you'll never even miss it.
-
63There's no real dazzle in Bedazzled.
-
63The important thing is that Hurley looks smashing in her succession of red outfits.
-
60Quite enjoyable on its own terms.
-
58Inferior remake.
-
55Better to wait for movies like Bedazzled on video and watch Fraser in the theatre when he goes back to playing with Gods and Monsters instead of the Devil.
-
50Walking out of the screening, I was thinking: Elizabeth Hurley for girlfriend, Courtney Love for Satan.
-
50Quite funny and eye-catching.
-
50This updated version has the good sense to star Brendan Fraser, who is shaping up as one of our finest romantic-comedy stars.
-
50Should sell its soul for a joke.
-
50It might not measure up to the 1967 original, but now Satan's got sooty pussycat eyes and a kitten-cruel smile.
-
50It's nowhere near as funny, largely because of an exhaustingly hyperactive performance by Elizabeth Hurley.
-
50Should have been a fun update on the 1967 Brit farce. Director/co-writer Ramis comes on too strong with the camper trickery.
-
50It might be worth enduring the Limburger to see Fraser morph from freckled-faced Rod McKuen dweeb to seven-foot albino ball star and never miss a beat.
-
50A dumbed-down remake.
-
50What the film doesn't have, ironically, is a soul.
-
50Well crafted and mindless in the best Hollywood tradition.
-
A little more script work, at the very least, should have gone into the manufacture of the black comedy Bedazzled.
-
42The clothes are worth it; nothing else is.
-
40Though amusing from moment to moment, is erratic, unfocused and uncertain where it's going.
-
40The skitcom format soon becomes tiresome.
-
40A mite sluggish.
-
38A temptation that can be easily and safely resisted.
-
38The opposite of memorable.
-
30Hardly lives up to its name -- bedeviled is more like it.
-
30The new version by Harold Ramis trots out a load of bargain-rack gags, tarted up with pricey effects for the A.D.D. generation. Woe to those who cannot leave well enough alone.

5002LMfromgamespot8A great film, with a great cast. Liz Hurley, makes the devil steamy.
-
ChileanGuy10In this movie Liz Hurley gave Chile an earthquake... she's so hot, that we don't care about that.
-
ChrisM.8A breezy comedy that is so easy to take thanks to sexy Hurley and likeable goof Fraser, who is shaping up into a comic superstar.
