Nora Ephron’s adaptation of the much loved television sitcom "Bewitched" flies into theaters this weekend. Nora Ephron is most famous for her script to Sleepless In Seattle. She teams up with her sister on the writing credits, though she takes the helm as director.
Bewitched stars Will Ferrell and a very anorexic-looking Nicole Kidman. (Just look at the photo of her I’ve included in the post. I’m sorry, but that just doesn’t look healthy.) The film also stars Michael Caine and Shirley McClaine.
The synopsis of the film seems quite fresh and entertaining. Isabel (Nicole Kidman) is a good-natured witch trying to disavow her supernatural powers and lead a normal life. Jack Wyatt (Will Ferrell), meanwhile, is trying to get his acting career back. He believes he can update the 1960's tv show "Bewitched" and cast himself in the starring role of Darrin.
Fate steps in when Jack accidentally runs into Isabel. Jack falls head over hills in love with her, and her nose– kudos too that she has an uncanny resemblance to Elizabeth Montgomery, who played Samantha in the tv show. He convinces her to play the witch Samantha in his new series.
And for Isabel, she falls in love with Jack because he is normal and he could help her lead the normal life she so desires.
Will they get married? Will their show be a huge hit? Will Isabel have to use her witch powers afterall? Will Jack become successful and leave Isabel in the Hollywood dust? Answers to these questions and more if you see the film.
I don’t know about you, but I will see this film because of Nicole Kidman, whether or not she looks like a human toothpick or not.
