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.

YUCK! A Desecration of the original TV show that was one of the brightest and cleverest shows on TV before it lost Dick York and Dick Sargent ruined it.

There may be special effects aplenty here, but precious little magic.

By the tepid ending, the movie appears to have been sedated.

Despite the intriguing set-up, formula proves as hard a habit for Ephron to kick as magic is for Isabel.

An uneasy mixture of special effects movie and romantic comedy without ever really committing to either one.

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!
