Bewitched (2005)
Directed by Nora Ephron. Starring Nicole Kidman; Will Ferrell; Shirley
Maclaine; Michael Caine; Jason Schwartzman. Cert: PG. Running Time: 1
Hr 38 Mins.
I hated this film. The review should perhaps end then. I like Nicole
Kidman, Will Ferrell, Shirley Maclaine, Michael Caine and Jason
Schwartzman -- in fact I love a number of eah of their films. And Nora
Ephron is usually so reliable.
This kind of thing has been done before and done well -- the first
Brady Bunch movie achieved it; Charlie's Angels pulled it off; even
Starsky and Hutch got some things right. Why does this movie go so
wrong? Because it thinks it is being clever and it is in your face
about it. And this film manages to replace any charm the original had
with the soul of a petulant sulky child. Watching it is was like
having hot needles pushed into my eyeballs and I only sat there
