Subject: New Movie: "Bewitched"...hit or miss?

Written By: woops on 06/13/05 at 11:38 pm

Though I don't care for remakes, I'll watch it.

Remember the '90's  Tom Cruise movie "Mission Impossible" was also based on a tv show.  8)

I'm so sick of Hollyweird cashing in on remakes of old television shows...and yet, I love Nicole so I'll watch it :D

Since I like the original show, I don't want to see it since it'll ruin it...

its not really a remake in the sense youre thinking of.  Its the story of what happened on the set of a remake of the TV show Bewitched....and it just so happens that the women cast as Samantha...is a real witch. 

This is how theyre getting away with casting Will Farrell and Nicole Kiddman...they arent playing Sam and Darren, theyre playing actors who are in a TV remake of Bewitched.

Nicole Kidman can do no wrong.  Except Moulin Rouge.  And To Die For.

Nicole Kidman's nose-twitch in the movie is ultra-lame.

Looks more like she's adjusting her dentures.  ;D

Thanks for the info.

It's not a remake, but about two actors in a remake, but the actress is a real witch...

Oh gawd!  Who cares?

Just as long as the don't make a movie out of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (or "The Scarecrow and Mrs. King" for that matter).

Well, the one I've been dreading is the "F-Troop" movie, which seems inevitable.  Did they do a "Hogan's Heroes" one already?

Huh!?  "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" was a movie before it was a TV show.  Gene Tierney, George Sanders,
and Rex Harrison.

And didn't the 1942 film "I Married a Witch" influence or form the basis for "Bewitched" television series?

I never saw it, but oddly it will always be associated with my 10 year HS reunion thanks to the Super 8 promotional deal at the time where I was staying.

Anyway, I've learned to stay away from comedies which advertise only the same couple of scenes.  It usely turns out that they are the only funny bits in the whole movie. In Bewitched's case all I kept seeing was Nichol Kidman twitching her nose.

I thought the movie was awful.  I didn't even watch it all the way through.  Thumbs down.

I actually didn't mind it, but then again, I love both Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell, so anything they are in is great

I didn't like though how they made it like a making of Bewitched.  I would have rather just liked to have seen it as Bewitched, not a movie about re-making the Bewitched TV show.
