Endiablé

Fraser is sorely unconvincing in his scenes with Elizabeth Hurley, but on the other hand he's almost brilliant as a drug lord or an over-sensitive boy; listening to his Spanish is beautiful. Overall, it’s an average comedy with some good ideas. For example, in the scene with the basketball player, where they parody the clichés we can hear all the time during sports commentators' interviews with football players and other athletes. And on a side note, isn't Hugh Grant a moron for cheating on someone like Elizabeth Hurley? If I was in his place... :) (03/05/2003)

When I saw this comedy for the first time, I really enjoyed it, but honestly mainly because of the devilishly charming Elizabeth Hurley rather than the quality of the script and the acting performances. In addition, I had the opportunity to watch the original version since then, and this comparison did not turn out well at all for the remake. The difference is two honest stars. The original version relied on very good acting and a quality script with witty dialogue in the British style. Bedazzled juxtaposes Elizabeth's sexy outfits and her accentuated bosom with a series of gags, some of which are not strong and especially some are predictable. It is still a light, above-average American comedy, but I can't get rid of memories of the original film. Overall impression 50%. (03/05/2008)

An undemanding, laid-back comedy with a very attractive she-devil. It got me excited at first, but as the plot progressed, my interest gradually waned. The story got very predictable, so the only thing left to enjoy were Elizabeth Hurley’s lines. The film is definitely worth a watch. I did have some laughs. It just left something to be desired.

A pleasant comedy from the turn of the century, clearly dominated by the main acting duo. Brendan Fraser surprised me with his acting talent (I might always associate him with The Mummy, but it's great to see he can handle a different genre as well). Here, he played quite a few different types of characters, and I bought into it completely (the basketball player and his 110% cracked me up the most :D). Elizabeth Hurley, as the seductive devil, definitely added a few extra points to the film. The premise has probably appeared in many other movies, but Harold Ramis's take with the episodic structure really worked for me. Most of the jokes hit their mark, and the occasional quip landed well enough to keep my diaphragm in check. The only thing that disappointed me was the somewhat rushed ending. It almost felt like this epilogue belonged to a different film because, script-wise, I consider it a minor failure. But due to the good flow of jokes, I’ll give it a solid four stars. 71%.
