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.

Leslie Felperin Film4 There may be special effects aplenty here, but precious little magic. May 18, 2008 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek By the tepid ending, the movie appears to have been sedated. Nov 5, 2007 Full Review Ben Walters Time Out Despite the intriguing set-up, formula proves as hard a habit for Ephron to kick as magic is for Isabel. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Steven Lindsey Texas Triangle/TXT There are possibly two genuine laughs in the entire movie. Rated: 0.5/4 May 8, 2023 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse An uneasy mixture of special effects movie and romantic comedy without ever really committing to either one. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens From the twitch of Nicole's nose to the comedically appropriate soundtrack ... there is a nostalgic magic that is, let's face it - simply bewitching! Witches Honor! Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

JDC M It's a 2005 romcom that feels like a 2005 romcom - energy is great throughout and if you take it at what it is: a love letter to the series, I think it works well. I may be clouded by nostalgia but watching it nearly 20 years later was still fun. Great for casual weekend viewing, some of these reviews are overthinking it- it's really not that deep. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Lee H I enjoyed it. It looks good and it is light hearted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Audience Member It’s fine not bad. Nicole and Will make it work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Ghes J Nicole Kidman was good, but the script was not interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Verónica P I still remember my mom and I debating if we should leave the theater because the movie was so bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Laura F Not as bad as it's RT score, it's watchable! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
