Bewitched the movie
Those who know me well know that I love my classic 1960's sitcoms. Maybe it was the fact that they were just innocent and silly, or maybe it's because I grew up watching them. so when I first heard that there was going to be a Bewitched movie in June, I got really excited! The cast sounded so-so (Will Farrel and Nicole Kidman) but I was willing to let that slide and see it anyway.
Then I heard the story... It's about a TV producer wanting to remake Bewitched, and unknowingly Hires a real witch to play the role of Samantha. That just sounds... yeah...

...Leave these shows alone. Please.

I dont understand why they went along with this story for the movie, I mean, Think about it, The show did had a story, About a guy whose wife happens to be a witch, It wouldve been interesting to see the story about a guy who falls for a girl, They get married, then soon he finds out shes a witch, Why couldn't they do it that way?

Because, for Hollywood, it's been done a billion times.
Bewitched's premise was always pretty generic and dull, but the comedy was there to disguise it well. |

I saw some preview stuff. I'm not sure any amount of Will Ferrell hissyfits will save this one (and this preview showed a lot of them...)

Potentially, a Bewitched movie could be a really good comedy. (But first you'd have to get rid of Will Ferrel to have any comedy at all) Then second, Just base it on the TV show...

I dunno, I'm just not a big Will Ferrell fan. Ben Stiller was great back in the Early 90's though
 I guess to give the devil his due, when he is on, he's On. (ferrell that is)

Jim Carrey would have made a great Darrin.
