“I’m beginning to think women don’t know what they want.”
“Amen!”
Brendan Fraser knocks this comedy out of the park as the nebish, Elliot Richards, who sells his soul to Satan, played by the seductive and devilishly charming Elizabeth Hurley, in order to win the heart of his four-year crush, Alison, a woman who doesn’t even know he exists.
Elliot tries out almost every romance hero in his quest for love. His first wish is to be rich and powerful (and married to Alison). The devil turns him into a Colombian drug lord whose wife, Alison, is cheating on him in plain sight.
His second wish is to be the most sensitive (oops, most emotionally sensitive) man in the world, and he wants Alison to love him. Elliot becomes a man of many talents, but all Alison wants is a neanderthal who’ll quit blabbing and get into her pants.
On his third try, Elliot goes for the jock - that most quintessential of all chick magnets, the professional basketball player. Elliot may be the best player of all time, but the devil turns him into an idiot - which wouldn’t matter - if he didn’t have an eensy weensy winkie.
By the time he’s ready to make his fourth wish, Elliot has thought things through. He asks to become an urbane, sophisticated, intelligent, articulate, well-endowed, man about town. He’s every inch a rico suave…and he’s gay.
God, I love this movie! And as a good romance should, it has an HEA.
Bedazzled came out in 2000.
Many thanks to all who visited the NOR chat last night! It was a blast! Hi! Can you see me waving?
I’m visiting two other virtual sites today: Falyn Donaldson’s site (talking about pretty bows) and I’ve posted my usual outdoorsy post at Night Writers. Drop by if you have the time!
