#0What did you think of Bewitched?
Posted: 7/9/05 at 4:42pmI just saw Bewitched today and it was pretty funny. I was also happy to see the Rent trailer. It's so much better seeing it onscreen than online. Anyway, Kristin Chenoweth did a great job as Isabel's neighbor. Will Ferrell was hilarious. Anyway, what did you guys think of the movie(for those who saw it of course)?

Posted: 7/9/05 at 4:44pmI thought it was allright until like the last 30 minutes. Everything suddenly got weird and spiraled downward towards the end. BLECH. What the heck was the whole Steve Carrel part about? BIZARRE.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 4:52pmEXACTLY my thoughts...it was just OK until the last 25-30 minutes. What the hell happened after that?? It's all a terrible blur.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 5:06pmit was so-so......entertaining, but no comparison to the original.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 5:08pmI also felt like the sideplots weren't really resolved...I was a little upset by that, I'm not gonna lie...

Posted: 7/9/05 at 5:26pmForget the movie. Buy the soundtrack instead. It makes up for what the movie lacks.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 5:43pmMediocre at best. The only great part of the movie was Jason Schwartzmen. He was hysterical.
#8re: What did you think of Bewitched?
Posted: 7/9/05 at 5:46pmI loved it. Nicole Kidman was beautiful as usual, Will Ferell was hysterical, and Kristin was cute!

The movie sucks the big one and the soundtrack is soooooo typical: Frank SInatra's "Witchcraft" (already have it). The Police's "Every Little Thing She does is Magic" (Ditto). I'm surprised they didn't throw in Rodgers and Hart's
'Bewitched".

They really just spent a time getting every song that could that had something to do with witches, I noticed that during the movie. How about picking some songs about what's happening between the chacters?
Oy.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 6:24pmI liked the fact that I saw the RENT trailer, I loved Kristin's role, it was pretty funny, but the last few minutes didn't appeal to me.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 8:03pmYou guys are being too nice. Bewitched made The Stepford Wives look like Oscar-worthy material. It was awful. And I was shocked as well becuase it DID come from romantic-comedy genius Nora Ephron (Sleepless in Seattle). I just did not like it at all. In all honesty, Cheno was the movie's only redeeming quality. She was excellent. She deserves an Oscar for making the movie not be a total stinker in my mind.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 8:07pmCheno was cute as usual, but I thought Jason Schwartzmen made the movie watchable (at least for me).

Posted: 7/9/05 at 8:13pmI thought it was good, but its not the best movie. I loved Kristin as her neighbor!! Seeing the RENT trailer was better on the big screen. I just saw the movie to see Kristin and Carole.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 11:19pmI believe it could possibly be the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Sure there are a few funny parts, granted but God I just sat there 'when will it ever end?'. Not to mention it's a terrible story that the actors had to put up with. Come on now the story is like cheap fan-fiction. I used to write stuff like that in eighth grade! It was just... blech. Terrible. Cheno, and I forgot his name Isabel's father were the only good parts besides Will Ferrell's sometimes hysterical performance.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 11:25pmJust mentioned on another board that I loved that the RENT movie trailer was on beforehand, but the movie itself did disappoint. I thought it was boring and lame, but I did love Cheno in the movie. I waited for more of Cheno to show up with her perkiness in hopes that she could help the movie, but they didn't add her in enough... granted, she is the reason why I went in the first place. I rarely laughed in the theatre when the two major leads were on the screen because they were not funny.

Posted: 7/10/05 at 12:10amI thought that there were a few awkward scenes towards the end but I luaghed the whole way through which is very unusual so I was glad just to get some comedy in!

ahh see I liked The Stepford Wives as well....
Dunno, I thought it was great. Not really what I was expecting but I thought it fun, cute, bubbly, funny, and enjoyable.
