Bewitched
Thinking he can overshadow an unknown actress in the part, an egocentric actor unknowingly gets a witch cast in an upcoming television remake of the classic show "Bewitched".
Critics Sentiment
Isabel tells Jack the truth about being a witch at his party
Jack becomes frightened and drives Isabel away with a stick
The film crashes from its peak revelation scene to its lowest point when Jack cruelly rejects Isabel, dropping nearly 3 points.
Bewitched starts weakly with setup issues and drags through much of its first half as critics found the meta-concept confusing and Will Ferrell's performance grating. The middle section rebounds as Nicole Kidman's charm carries the romantic elements, but the film hits rock bottom when Jack's character becomes truly unlikable before limping to an unearned but somewhat satisfying conclusion.
