tonyhic Review of Bedazzled

Bedazzled (2000)

As painful as you'd expect

[2/10 · 22 November 2001]

I only watched this because I wanted to see how bad this remake could be. It was no better or worse than I expected. 2 out of 10.

Any movie relying on Liz Hurley to play a role convincingly has to be bad. It really is amazing that she's achieved any success at all with no talent whatsoever.

The few mildly amusing moments are stolen from the original. All the adaptations make it far inferior - smarmier, less satirical, and of course subtlety is thrown out the window.
