Skip it!
Nichole Kidman is a dead ringer for the original Bewitched Elizabeth Montgomery. She is adorable (how do they make her look so young?) Unfortunately, they gave her a really dippy part. They play her as a niave, codependant, dumb blond who is just entering the "mortal" world and has much to learn. She longs to find a man who is terribly scattered and who "needs her." Will Farrel is good at playing silly parts (not funny, just silly). His charactor is simple minded, self centered and goes out of his way to get adulation, not to mention, newly divorced. Why any girl would fall for him is beyond me. This film is dumb, but in my opinion, not harmless. True, there are no big sex scenes and no violence. However, I feel that as parents, allowing our kids to watch films where people make grossly unwise decisions about life parters, and are glorified for it, is just a damaging, if not more. It's a shame they let Nichole Kidman and the wonderful, intelligent, witty, charactor of Samantha go to waste. I wish they could remake the remake.

More entertaining than I expected.
I took two teenagers, a 16 year old girl and a 13 year old boy to see Bewitched at the movie theater. We saw it to fulfill the 16 year old's birthday treat. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it but was surprised that I enjoyed it. The comedy was light and funny. The acting was spot on. Great for a DVD famlily rental evening.

The movie was cursed..
Not a great movie... the TV show was much more charming. They tried to do too much by making the movie about real witch doing a TV show about a witch (too convoluted, lost its *charm*)Cheesy and silly. Younger kids might not get the romance and get bored.

Not my thing...
Well, there was so much hype about it but it turned out to be only an "okay movie", you know, one of those ones that you watch once and then don't really care if it gets run over by a truck before the next time you goe to watch (that is if you do) because hey, the static makes it WAY more interesting... This movie bored me.

Fun movie, but has 2 bad words make it not for little ones.
Overall the movie was cute and fun. Two bad (nor horrific, but not words I'd want my 8 1/2 year old hearing) words I think warranted the PG-13 rating. Too bad - I think my son would have enjoyed this one.

Adorable!
This movie was adorable and quite enjoyable. The only weak part was towards the end, where it became a little formulaic. Although Samantha uses her powers to get what she wants, she realizes when she has gone too far and 'rewinds'. Although there were a few instances of poor language, they were few and far between.

Slightly Disappointed!
I liked the movie except I was a little disappointed! I Expected a more modern version of the old T.V. series in the form of a movie. Not a movie about remaking the old T.V. series? Other than that slight disappointment it was a very cute, and funny movie. The actors and actresses did a very good job of playing the parts of Samantha, Darren, and Endora. Overall a very good movie to see.

Bewitched By Bewitched
Iam a huge fan of the series Bewitched witch is totally appropriate for every age and although the movie has some questionable language it pays a lot of homagw to the original in a great way. The clips from the show are not commercial in any way, they make people interested in the wonderful show and create the back drop for what the basic plot of the movie and show are. Love. He may not have her powers and as a male he wants her to abide by his ways, and she tries but things get in the way. But even through their faults and forces trying to pull them apart, they love eachother and that's all that mattered. Watch A is for Ardvak on the first season of the original series and you will see real tears of the star feeling the emotion of the story and you will wish you could find a love like their's. The movie may not demonstrate that as well as Elizabeth Montgomery and d**k York/Sargent but it's only a movie. Think of it as a way for people to remember what a wonderful old fashion idea it was that a whole family could sit together and watch a show that will both make them laugh and really think.

Great date movie!
My husband and I went to see this on a date. I loved it and he liked it. We both laughed a ton. I thought it was charming. I will be buying the DVD.

Not too Bewitching...
This was a long movie. Even my 13 year old thought it could have been at least 30 minutes shorter. I kept thinking that Meg Ryan would have been a far better choice then Nicole. The moive was cute. It does have full front and back-side male nudity with the areas blurred--this was totally NOT needed. Just like Hollywierd to blow a good movie for a rating.

Cutsey teen flick
I went to this show with my 16 year old and she loved it. It was a little too cutsey for my usual tastes but it was easy, fun and sugary romantic. Good flick for a girls slumber party.

Cute and Charming
I saw this movie with my twelve year old cousin and i found it surprisingly cute. Good acting on both Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrells part. Nothing overly excellent but if I found this at Walmart for ten bucks I would buy it. Also despite a few unnecessary sex jokes i found this film quite tame. I woulld be uncomfortablewatching it with my ten year old brother but fine for anyone over eleven or tweleve.
