Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark
Something of a featherweight, but it's also a positively divine comedy.
San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
Fraser and Hurley are terrifically matched for their interplay, and some of the writing is so smart it outclasses the film's cartoonish feel.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Examiner Walter Addiego
The ending is a disappointment, a perfunctory upbeat gesture.
Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
As for Ramis, he's no Stanley Donen. He can make us laugh, but he can't make a movie dance.
Boston Globe Jay Carr
The important thing is that Hurley looks smashing in her succession of red outfits.
Miami Herald Sara Wildberger
It's a cute and clever good-vs-evil parable.
New York Post Lou Lumenick
It's like your appendix - you'll never even miss it.
TNT RoughCut Susannah Breslin
Better 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.
LA Weekly Ella Taylor
It's nowhere near as funny, largely because of an exhaustingly hyperactive performance by Elizabeth Hurley.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michael Atkinson
It 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.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
It might not measure up to the 1967 original, but now Satan's got sooty pussycat eyes and a kitten-cruel smile.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
Should sell its soul for a joke.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Walking out of the screening, I was thinking: Elizabeth Hurley for girlfriend, Courtney Love for Satan.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
This updated version has the good sense to star Brendan Fraser, who is shaping up as one of our finest romantic-comedy stars.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
Should have been a fun update on the 1967 Brit farce. Director/co-writer Ramis comes on too strong with the camper trickery.
Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Well crafted and mindless in the best Hollywood tradition.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
The clothes are worth it; nothing else is.
Entertainment Weekly Steve Daly
A little more script work, at the very least, should have gone into the manufacture of the black comedy Bedazzled.
Read Full Review >Time Richard Corliss
The skitcom format soon becomes tiresome.
Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Though amusing from moment to moment, is erratic, unfocused and uncertain where it's going.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
A temptation that can be easily and safely resisted.
Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Hardly lives up to its name -- bedeviled is more like it.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf
The 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.

A great film, with a great cast. Liz Hurley, makes the devil steamy.
G.M. D.K gave it a 10:
The script is heaven and the fun wont stop.The most hugely entertaining film ive seen and ive seen them all.
Jeremy gave it a 6:
Even with a sitcomish script and a devil not mean enough, Brendan Fraser's good will almost makes this a good movie.
Navid gave it a 10:
Two words. Funny & Sexy.
Irene B. gave it a 10:
A fabolous laugh-injecting craft.. bravo for fraser!
Chilean Guy gave it a 10:
In this movie Liz Hurley gave Chile an earthquake... she's so hot, that we don't care about that.
[Anonymous] gave it a 9:
I thought that Bedazzled was really a good movie. Why people are bashing it, I have no idea. It's a great concept and it's hilarious, which is really all that matters in a comedy.
