I saw a special screening of "Bewitched" last night in Sacramento. The movie was pretty entertaining. I'm not a big fan of Nicole Kidman, but I thought she did a good job in the movie. She made the character of a witch very believable. Will Farrell had some very funny moments, but I think Michael Cain's comedy stole the show.

I would definately recommend seeing it. You won't get the best plot, as expected, but it's a good break from reality.

By the way, Schwarzenegger was at the movie. I was standing two feet from him - about to meet him - then his big security dudes blocked off his area.

My wife got this DVD this weekend, she always loved Bewitched and so she ran across a deal at Best Buy...

This movie was horrendous... One of the worst I have ever seen... We paid $4.00 for the DVD and I think we paid far too much... What a way to ruin a great classic.:mad:

I didn't think it was that great but it is definitely not one of the worst movies I've seen.

This movie was showing on Starz, which I have free this month. Easily in the Top 3 WORST movies I have ever, ever seen.

Kidman, Ferrell, Carrel, Cain, McClain...all absolute embarrassments.

What's funnier is that when I looked at the main page, it showed:

I just watched it. I’ve seen much worse, but this was still pretty bad. I really like Will Ferrell, but he was barely funny in this one. I hated the screenplay. I kept waiting for it to take off, but it just kept getting worse.
