Para's movie review. This time, Bewitched!
I know what you're thinking. "Oh my god, Goon went and saw Bewitched, what the fuck?!?" Well, wait till I tell you I went and saw it by myself, and that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jack Wyatt (Wil Farrell) is a struggling movie star who's been cast into a remake of "Bewitched" as Darren, the husband of Samantha the witch. Jack decides to do it, on one condition...he gets to find the girl to play Samantha himself. Enter Isabelle Bigalow (Nicole Kidman) a witch who's feeling down because she wants to live life as a mortal. She wants to live normally, and not use any more powers so she can experience normal life. Jack runs into Isabelle, and purely by chance notices her do the famous witch nose-twitch, and manages to con her into playing Samantha alongside his Darren. When Isabelle finds out that she was never really meant to be anything more than a face in the remake to try and help resurrect Jack's career, the proverbial shit hits the fan and madness ensues.
The cast in this movie is honestly not that bad. Wil Farrell and Nicole Kidman play their roles really well. There's also Michael Caine ,who plays Isabelle's dad Nigel, a warlock who tries to persuade Isabelle to return to her magical life, and Shirley Maclaine, an actress named Isis who gets cast as Endora in the remake, and one that has her own bewitching secret.
Like I said, this movie is worth a look see. It's a chick flick to the hilt, but for light heartwarming fun, you really can't go wrong.
And one last note. Nicole Kidman is simply nothing short of stunning. That'll be all.
I give this 3 1/2 outta 5, Um...we'll call that rating Para's Aardvark.
