Inferior remake. Read full review

TNT RoughCutSusannah Breslin
Better to wait for movies like Bedazzled on video and watch Fraser in the theatre when he goes back to playing with Gods and Monsters instead of the Devil.

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
It might be worth enduring the Limburger to see Fraser morph from freckled-faced Rod McKuen dweeb to seven-foot albino ball star and never miss a beat. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyElla Taylor
It's nowhere near as funny, largely because of an exhaustingly hyperactive performance by Elizabeth Hurley. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Should sell its soul for a joke.

It might not measure up to the 1967 original, but now Satan's got sooty pussycat eyes and a kitten-cruel smile. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
This updated version has the good sense to star Brendan Fraser, who is shaping up as one of our finest romantic-comedy stars. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
Should have been a fun update on the 1967 Brit farce. Director/co-writer Ramis comes on too strong with the camper trickery.

What the film doesn't have, ironically, is a soul. Read full review

The clothes are worth it; nothing else is.

Entertainment WeeklySteve Daly
A little more script work, at the very least, should have gone into the manufacture of the black comedy Bedazzled. Read full review

A mite sluggish. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
Though amusing from moment to moment, is erratic, unfocused and uncertain where it's going. Read full review

The skitcom format soon becomes tiresome.
