Elliot Richards, a socially awkward IT worker, is given seven wishes to get the girl of his dreams when he meets a very seductive Satan. The catch: his soul. Some of his wishes include being a 7 foot basketball star, a wealthy, powerful man, and a sensitive caring guy. But, as could be expected, the Devil puts her own little twist on each of his fantasies.

Bedazzled Audience Reviews

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Mihai Toma A lonely employee at a software company, avoided by his colleagues due to his character and way of life, meets a very attractive woman who convinces him that she can grant 7 wishes. After accepting the deal, his life is turned upside-down, almost every wish of his becoming pretty soon a living nightmare, in his desperate attempt of winning the heart of a girl he likes. As everything in life has a price, he's going to find out that eventually he must pay for his wishes and tries to revert the contract.It's a plot which overall sounds very interesting and appealing, but as you're about to find out, badly executed. The main actor acts as a retarded schoolboy and with every wish he has, he's put into very embarrassing situations from which he doesn't seem to understand anything. Instead of being funny and entertaining, it gets dull, boring and loses interest right from the beginning. Unfortunately for me, the finale isn't good either. Although pretty unpredictable in a way, it doesn't do much to save the overall impression of this movie which is not to be seen by anyone, regardless of reasons.It had a good idea but as it happens with many films, especially comedies, it fails miserably when it comes to putting it into action. Maybe a different cast could have helped
slightlymad22 In Bedazzled (A remake of the 1967 Dudley Moore & Peter Cook movie of the same name) Elliot (Brendan Fraser) is granted 7 wishes by The Devil (Elizabeth Hurley) so he can win the woman of his dreams, in exchange for his soul. Brendan Fraser seemed to have been around forever without making an impact in anything till "The Mummy" but as shown there, he is a very capable leaving man. Despite the fact it had been 13 years since her acting debut I still think of Hurley as the girlfriend of Hugh Grant. Who stole all the media attention at the premier of his movie Four Weddings and a Funeral in "that" black Versace dress held together with gold safety pins. I'd only seen her in the first "Austin Powers" movie and as the media hungry man eater in EdTv. (Art imitating life, if I have ever seen it) but here her acting is OK, and she is very attractive (especially when she dons a school girls uniform) probably, the most attractive I have seen her. None of the rest of the cast were memorable or stand outs, including the woman of Eliot's dreams whose face and name I could by even remember an hour after the movie ended.It's a tad predictable, the devil doesn't play fair, the hero does some soul searching before his final wish, and it's all wrapped up nice and neatly at the end A pleasing way to spend 90 mins, but I doubt I'll have a real desire to revisit the movie ever again.
gwnightscream Brendan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley and Frances O'Connor star in Harold Ramis' 2000 comedy remake of the 1967 film. Fraser (The Mummy) plays nerdy guy, Elliot Richards who has a crush on his co-worker, Allison Gardner (O'Connor) and wishes to be with her. Soon, his wish brings the attention of an attractive woman revealing herself as The Devil (Hurley). She helps Elliot by making him sell his soul in exchange for 7 wishes. Elliot eventually learns that there's nothing she can give him that will make him happy except for Allison's happiness. O'Connor also plays Elliot's new neighbor, Nicole at the end of the film. This is a good comedy and Fraser & Hurley are great together. I recommend this.
maria-em1905 I know I can't give you some insights about the movie that would mean a lot. Anyway, I think it made the best out of the story about the devil and even though it can't compare to Ma vie es un enfer, it was a nice comedy to watch. Elizabeth Hurley is a great comedian, really. I didn't expect something that good from a model. Along with Brandon, it was a nice dialogue to watch. I would also say each story had its unique insights that I found not too pretentious and just the kind that would make you think about some things in life, but not too seriously. I don't understand why that comedy wasn't unappreciated in its time. It served everything that a good funny movie ought to - nice laughs, fresh jokes, good acting and an interesting story. I enjoyed watching it and I recommend it to everyone, as long as they feel like watching a fine comedy.
