Bedazzled (2000) 8/10

Starring : Brendan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley, Frances O'Connor, Orlando Jones
Director : Harold Ramis
Running Time : 89 mins

Elliott Richards (Fraser) is a complete loser whose only wish in life is to get together with the girl of his dreams, Alison Gardner (O'Connor), so when the Devil (Hurley) appears to him and offers him the chance to finally win Alison over he jumps at the chance. Unfortunately every attempt Elliott makes to wish for something that would make Alison love him leads the Devil to subvert his wish and twist it for her own amusement.

I actually really enjoyed this comedy. Hurley isn't that good in her role, but Fraser and particularly O'Connor are wonderful as they portray the different versions of themselves in the played out wishes. Once again Ramis manages to produce a wonderful story from a basic premise and makes it visually stunning.
