Bewitched

It was hot and rainy out today, the perfect day to see a magical film. This movie was cute, and very simple and cheesy. And Nicole Kidman was stiff and over played her character Isabelle.

Kidman wants to be human. She's tired of dating warlocks and people like herself. So she gets a house in the suburbs, a Volkswagen and gets discovered to play Samantha on a show tabooed by witches- Bewitched. Will Farell playes her opposite, Darren, but is a washed up movie star turned TV actor. He's a selfish, egotistical Hollywood type guy with Schwartzman (loved him in Rushmore) as his agent.

Kidman, Isabelle, wants to really fall in love and experience "real" things like friends and jobs and turning the sprinkler on in her front yard. She tries hard not to use her powers but after feeling as though, Farell is playing her, she turns real witch.

It's a cute premise and with or without the nose twitching, this movie was like cotton candy, and by the end you were gagging on its sweet goodness. If you like that sort of thing, then you'll like this movie.

There were some guys there, most likely because Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was sold out, probably dragged as well. Unless your man is a sap, do him a favor and send him to Wedding Crashers.

Worth the money rating: $$ 1/2
