Bedazzled Ratings & Reviews
- CallumJanuary 1, 2026⭐⭐⭐½ – Bedazzled – Wishes, wit, and unintended consequences. This one definitely stood out to me as a teen, and let’s be honest, a lot of that was Elizabeth Hurley in a red leather jumpsuit. That image was doing work. These days, though, age has shifted the focus a bit. I now look at both Hurley and Brendan Fraser and realise I’m older than they were when they made this — and suddenly it’s not the outfit but her mischievous manipulation of his wishes that really grabs my attention. At its heart, this is a light-hearted take on a very old idea: the devil grants you what you ask for, not what you meant. Every wish comes with a catch, and the law of unintended consequences does most of the heavy lifting. The film has a lot of fun exploring that, with Fraser throwing himself fully into each exaggerated scenario and Hurley clearly enjoying every second of being gleefully cruel. It’s silly, broad, and knowingly dumb in places, but it has a warmth that keeps it likeable. The comedy is accessible, the morals are simple without being preachy, and it never tips into anything mean-spirited. That balance is what gives it staying power. This is the kind of film you can watch with the kids, enjoy on a lazy afternoon, and still happily come back to years later — even if what you appreciate about it changes with time. 🍦 A classic vanilla milkshake — sweet, nostalgic, and still hits the spot long after you first discovered it.
- ርልዪረFebruary 7, 2025This remake often seems to come off worst because of the much-loved original with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. For some reason, Elizabeth Hurley doesn't seem to get cred generally as a comedy actress. I'm not a film buff, I don't really know. I love the original, I love this one too, I think Liz Hurley is a great comedy actress and i don't mind looking at her either. I think this film is a great laugh and stands up well, with the original.
