...a high-concept premise that’s employed to periodically affable yet consistently erratic effect...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 24, 2023

The humor is periodically immature but largely universal as Ramis garners steady laughs from cleverly orchestrated situations and efficient visuals.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 25, 2020

The leads play well together, but the secret sauce is the cheeky, twisty script by [Harold] Ramis, Peter Tolan and Larry Gelbart.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 20, 2020

This is about as simple and uncomplicated you can get, but it isn't trying to do anything beyond providing some quick and easy laughs in a refreshingly heavenly comedy.

Charming Fraser Faustian tale with lots of sexual innuendo.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2010

Just another weak vehicle for Fraser.

Hurley is great fun to watch, a Faustian powerhouse of curves, smoky eyes and big hair who sounds exactly like Jackie Collins doing an imitation of Madonna's pan-European accent. It's creepy, but effective.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 18, 2007

[Whenever] Hurley disappears, and so does much of the film's energy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 14, 2007

Decent enough entertainment as written, though many will regret the movie's eleventh-hour detour into pieties.

| Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2007

In the end, Bedazzled certainly could have been better, but it also could have been a lot worse.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2006

As if by magic, this lowbrow film falls together and works in a charming, goofy way.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

There's nothing here that's liable to set you pondering metaphysical questions, but Bedazzled is a perfectly reasonable excuse for a none-too-bright Hollywood comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jan 2, 2005

entertains on a very shallow level

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 27, 2003

For a comedy about heaven and hell, Bedazzled doesn't make it out of purgatory.
