The 3 points i give for this movie is only for Will Ferrel's comedic act. Nicole Kidman's accent is hideous, so is the chemistry between the two. I mean I sensed she really didn't want to even kiss Will Ferrel when she finds out he loves her too. Anyway, what a waste of time!

One of the worst movies I've seen in a loooong while. too bad for Nichole, a beautiful actress.

Well, now I was looking forward to this and I just love Will Ferrell and the Daily Show people, but the movie was missing a story. I think story is kinda the whole point. They never utilized the Daily Show comics, why they even did the movie is beyond me. None of the characters are even 2 dimensional, let alone 3. They never develop and make you care about anyone. And my biggest disappointment is that it really never did anything having to do with the original Bewitched, there was like one scene redone (barely) from the old TV show and that was it. Man I was so disappointed, I can't even say.… Expand

Worse movie of the year. I'm just glad that I still had my popcorn bag with me so that I could throw-up half way through the movie and then leave.

Oh My God!! When you look up "lame" in the dictionary, you see a trailer for this movie. Horrendous unfunny slapstick.

I was utterly disappointed with the Nicole Kidman/Will Ferrell version of Bewitched. In my opinion, Nicole Kidman could not carry the lead. I found her character annoying, and completely unconvincing as a breathy/childishly innocent witch. Will Ferrell wasn't quite as disasterous, but still completely wrong for the part. Furthermore, he shows himself as an actor with absolutely no range as he played the exact same character in "Elf" a few years ago. Someone should have told him that character didn't work so well for this roll. Equally miscast were Kidman's cooky neighbor and friend that just didn't make any sense, or add anything but annoyance to the plot. Endora was a big disappointment as well. In the original, Endora was probably one of the most loved characters, and it would have been better to just leave her out entirely than have some other type of character fill her roll. A few elements that did work in the film were the actors that played Uncle Arthur, aunt Clara and Gladys and Abner Cravitz. These characters were brilliantly done, and should have been given more screen time as they were the last saving graces of the film.… Expand

Bewitchingly dreadful! What a waste of talent. It does not even qualify as "a chick flick", save your money and watch Nickelodeon for free.

Eh, save this one for the dollar shows. some funny moments but overall boring and lifeless.

Yuk! Enough said.

Bad enough to have to sit through this dog once on an eastbound flight, but then to get it again on the westbound flight was indeed 'cruel and unusual punishment.' Couldn't even walk out! Let's have some new stories, not just re-imaging or whatever the latest term might be.

What a huge waste of time...stay home and watch Elizabeth Montgomery.

I threw up in my mouth a little.

A couple good lines by will and jason schwatrzmen, but I was extremely dissapointed with stephen colbert, they didn't give him any lines! And the hilarious stephen corell was given crappy lines. They had some of the funniest people in one spot, and then gave them all crappy lines, and nicole kidman, why was she so brainless? It was a train wreck. I was so dissapointed.

Even it's DVD will be a waste of good plastic.

Nicole Kidman really needs to get lessons on how to speak with an American accent if she is going to play an American character. Also, she really couldn't carry the lead at all. Her character was completely uninterresting, and I couldn't wait for this movie to be over. I honestly don't know how Nicole Kidman could make an interesting character like a witch be so boring and annoying. Also, the plot was completely off the wall, and the characters that were of any interest to anyone only seemed to have cameo appearances (Uncle Arthur, Aunt Clara, Gladys and Abner Cravitz etc.). All in all, save your money, and don't bother going to see this movie.… Expand

To the credit of writer/director Nora Ephron (You've Got Mail) and cowriter Delia Ephron (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) they DON'T try to do a straight big-screen translation of the popular but overrated, one-joke 1960s sitcom. It's just as well, because big-screen movie versions of small-screen comedies simply do not work (maybe the Ephrons sat in on some rushes of The Honeymooners and confirmed that truth for themselves), and because the most successful elements of the original show were its charming star Elizabeth Montgomery and such funny supporting players as Agnes Moorehead and Paul Lynde. What the Ephrons have done instead is used Bewitched as a springboard for a postmodern showbiz comedy-romance that has some amusing and pertinent sequences and observations...but doesn't work either. Will Ferrell plays Jack, an egotistical movie star who seeks to overcome a career slump by casting himself as witch's mortal hubby Darrin in a second TV take on the original series, finding an unknown actress to play witchy wife Samantha, and then upstaging her like there's no tomorrow. Enter Isabel (a cute, appealing Nicole Kidman), a naive witch who acts as though she's visiting Earth from another planet rather than the family and coven she's attempting to assert her independence from, and the sparks fly. Even though this is a seriously flawed concept from the get-go (TV show do-overs are historically very risky propositions, and BOTH Darrins were the most boring characters and actors on the original Bewitched, so Jack looks to be flushing his career even farther down the pipes with this venture), the first half of this movie is surprisingly bubbly, well-observed fun: the staging of TV scenes designed to spotlight Jack and all but completely obscure Isabel are nicely done, and when Isabel catches on and takes supernatural revenge, the bit in which she forces Jack to completely bollix one line over and over is as hysterical as anything I've seen in a movie this year. I thought I was home free, and was honestly wondering why all the critical hostility...and then came the Inside the Actors' Studio interview, the rewind device, and twenty other missteps that all the nose-twitching, ear-wiggling or whatever in the world can't cure, but which completely flatten the souffle, making Bewitched as unfocused, desperate and totally unfunny as the Ephrons' previous exercise in total mirthlessness, Mixed Nuts. The ONLY even remotely amusing aspect of the movie's final 45 minutes was the soundtrack contribution of Steve Lawrence, crooning the lyrics (!!) to the classic TV theme in his best faux-Sinatra voice, but trust me: everything else completely dies, withers and rots, and even Kidman and Ferrell seem completely lost in the dark. Then again, maybe the fault is just as much that of the original show as it is this take on it: let's face it, when you have a central character who can get anything she wants by possessing people into saying whatever she wants them to say, or can perform redos of mistakes or uncomfortable situations by simply making them cease to exist, the result inevitably is no conflict, no drama...and no comedy.… Expand

Nicole Kidman is capable of being very funny. When Kidman guest-hosted SNL, she and Mike Myers played children, and her schoolyard temptress character who tries to seduce a hypoglycemic Myers with a chocolate bar was very winning. In "Bewitched", Kidman looks embarrassed in some of her scenes with Will Ferrell, especially the one where Isabel, under the spell of a love potion, joins Jack Wyatt in song on a building roof under stars. Kidman isn't able to keep up with Ferrell's volatile silliness, and needed director Nora Ephron to step in and ask the SNL alumnus to dial it down a notch, or two. Perhaps, Cameron Diaz would know how to complement Ferrell. "Bewitched" was probably the wrong vehicle to show how the runaway ego of an A-list star can sink a television or film project. The idea of a Darren-centric take on "Bewitched" that could actually make its way onto a network fall lineup is too unbelievable, even for a comedy.… Expand

It had no plot. I wish they would of made it more like the old bewitched. Nicole was really cute in it but her talents were wasted in that movie.

A waste of time for those who made it and for those who sat through it, Bewitched has to be one of the big disappointments of 2005. Shirley Maclaine and Michael Caine must stop playing themselves, and Will Ferrell is a bore. Fortunately, Nicole Kidman, the highlight of this dud, can't seem to do anything wrong, even when confonted with essentially worthless material.

Why is Nora Ephron making films? How on God's green earth did she ever land a job making films in the first place? I only give this film a one and not a zero because I feel bad for Will Ferrell and because Nicole Kidman is hot. The script is so bad I wouldn't have been surprised if I found out that Delia Ephron was Nora's eight year old daughter. Seriously shocking that a film this bad was not only made, but that $100 million was spent on it.… Expand

Fight or flight, it's as simple as that. This cinematic pile of dirty socks and wifebeaters is Fear Factor's worst enemy.

It's horrible. period.

Contemptable junk. Clearly written, acted and directed for the lowest common denominator. The Caucasian "Soul Plane." Horrid putrid and most of all, not funny. A waste of Nicole, Caine and Schwartzman. Ferrell is his usual over-the-top ("Hey mommy look...I'm a jackass) doofus. Avoid unless your the kind of person that laughs out loud when Carrot Top commercials come on.

A travesty. The very fact that audiences around the country are subjecting themselves to such brainless, insulting dreck is symptomatic of a culture thoroughly diseased.

Kidman! god ! so annoying and bad.

Wil Ferrell slows the movie to almost a dead stop, scenes without him are almost funny.

I knew this movie was gonna be bad. But I would've never guessed it was gonna be THIS bad. I love Nicole and I love the old tv show, so I thought that was gonna be enough for me to like this movie. But it wasn't. Though you get charmed by Kidman's character and the whole movie in the first 30 minutes, what comes after it is just plain boring, 0 entertainment, never in my life I wanted to walk away from the theater because of the movie. I'm still shocked by the fact that this movie was done. Not even the incredible Nicole saves it. Sad, but true.… Expand

Other than one scene (the Will Ferrell scene crying and talking in Spanish about his dog) the movie was unfunny and rather boring. Nicole Kidman seemed as if she would have preferred to be doing any movie other than this one and Will Ferrell even seemed to be wondering what he had got himself into. There are worse Ferrell movies but Bewitched will probably only appeal to uber-fans of the TV series.… Expand

Stupid over the top humor and Will Ferrel's unbearable performance, totally dismisses Nicole Kidman's spot on portrayal and witty performance. I give this movie 23%.
