Bewitched
Fading movie star Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell) gets one last shot when he's cast as Darren Stephens, the husband of a witch, in a remake of the '60s TV sitcom Bewitched. Although the producers line up two stars as potential actresses to play the role of his wife Samantha, Jack demands to have an unknown play the part. After weeks of searching, he finds the perfect woman (Nicole Kidman). She may not be an actress, but he has no idea of how perfect she really is until he falls under her spells.

Cute and silly Movie! - MFisher
I enjoyed this movie, I wasn't expecting a lot from it and it did surpass my expectations. I thought it was cute, sweet and surprisingly funny. I did not watch the TV series so I can't comment on the authenticity of the movie. But for purely entertainment purposes, it is a great little flick.Sweet and Quirky - bm_emilia
It's a sweet and feel good movie.
Both characters are very quirky. Will Ferell is hilarious and plays so good as an egotistical and self-absorbed movie star. Nicole Kidman is very charming and innocent.
So if you are looking for a cute, feel good movie this is it.
I'd rent it again.Unforgettable Series, Forgettable Slightly Entertaining Movie - fashionisto
The ticking soundtrack as I press the played button on my dvd player had me smiling. Just like Charlie's Angels, one should never expect the old series to come back to life, one should be open to a new scenario. And new it was...
Though the setting and character names appears slightly different on a TV set of Bewitched Remake. The original personalities remain pretty similar to the series. Brilliant Nicole Kidman does a remarkable job, turning herself into the simple minded, lovely, witty, eye candy witch. And so does Will Farrell though it seems an easier job for him looking at his career pattern... Shirley MacLaine extraordinaire as usual, steels our hear while Steve Carrell steals your smile leaving the screen on a star.
Just like the series, Bewitched is a light unpretentious comedy. It certainly won't replace the original in our hearts but still remains an entertaining family rental for a cold winter night.
