Movie Review - Bewitched

Saw Bewitched over the weekend. Fun movie. For those of you not in-the-know, it's the story of an actor (played by Will Ferrell) who is trying to save his career by creating a remake of the old Bewitched sitcom. In his search for a perfect Samantha he ends up choosing a nobody (played by Nicole Kidman) based solely on her nose twitch. Little does he know, that she is actually a real witch!

Originally, I believe this movie was just going to be a straight movie version of the old series. I'm glad they didn't do that. It's fun to see Nicole's character act as a witch, but pretend she's not a witch, even though she is. There's a bit of romance that develops between characters, but it's more goofy than sappy, so I was okay with it. There's a real good supporting cast in the movie, including Jason Schwartzmann, Steve Carrell and Shirley McClaine (who I don't even like that much).

This movie gets a "8.5" on the 10-point scale. It's a real fun movie that I would see again. Will and Nicole did a great job. Just don't expect anything extraordinary, unless you find laughing extraordinary. Then expect that.
