The movie's premise, a modern day Faustian bargain (oh don't I sond like the pretentious young college student), could have provided not only for a much more madcap comedic experience but also a more dramatic and morally thoughtful story. The movie drags during the beginning introductions and the fantasy wish sequences are uneven, with some of them suffering from bad pacing and dialogue. Even so this movie is an enjoyable little tale, with a cute little moral lesson. There are moments of hilarity and Elizabeth Hurley flourishes in the role as the sexy unholy temptress who seems to just love her job (although she could have also done so much more with her role as well). Fraser is decent in his role but it certainly isn't one of his best non-dramatic performances (for a similar but much better example of Fraser's talent, look at the delightful "Blast From The Past"). So in summary, uneven yet charming although it certainly could've done so much more! 7 outta 10
