Movie star Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) has hit a rough patch in his career. Looking to make a comeback, he signs on to play the role of Darrin in a movie version of the popular 1960s sitcom "Bewitched." Jack insists that an unknown is hired to play Darrin's better half, the beguiling witch-housewife Samantha, so the studio finds an up-and-comer named Isabel Bigelow (Nicole Kidman). Once shooting begins, though, Jack learns that Isabel was cast too well -- since she actually is a witch.

Mr A @ClassicThomasFan Sep 5, 2026 Weird movie but I somewhat liked it as a fun comedy flick. Will Ferrell is amazing as Jack Wyatt and Nicole Kidman as Isabel Bigelow. This movie did go over my head in certain aspects such as. Will Ferrell definitely knows how to portray narcicissts and jerks and Jack Wyatt is a textbook example. Will continues to play jerks like Ron Burgendy, Ricky Bobby, Brennan Huff, Jackie Moon and Cam Brady and the list goes on. Jack Wyatt is the textbook exzmple of jerk stars and Will Ferrell nailed his performance as Jack. The scene where Isabel yells at Jack is groundbreaking as knocking down a big shot's ego is incredible. Even Jack himself was impressed with that. I don't have much else to say about the movie so I'm done here. See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos May 5, 2026 Palyado. Di ko alam kung ganito din ba un classic TV sitcom.
