The premise of this 'remake' is that Hollywood is re-making the BEWITCHED television series of the 60's. The lead actor who portrays Darrin (Will Ferrel) finds the perfect woman to cast as Samantha in Nicole Kidman, who really is a witch. Like the character she portrays, she's trying to kick the habit of casting spells and live in the real, 'normal' world.Well, if the intention of this movie is to make you want to watch one of the original episodes or buy the recently released DVD of season one, then they've succeeded. As a movie itself, it's really a non-movie. It's not particularly funny or clever. Kidman does do a good Elizabeth Montgomery imitation but she's underutilized-you want to see more of her and her crazy supernatural family. They should have forgotten about this 'movie within a movie' thing and made a simple remake. It could only have been far better than this forgettable flick.
