'Bewitched' The Feel-Good Rom-Com Film Starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell Drops on Hulu in June
The romance fantasy film Bewitched (2005) came to Hulu just in time for summer. Featuring a stellar cast and chuckle moments, Bewitched is one of the best rom-com films of the 2000s.
The Movie's Story
Actor Jack Wyatt’s (Will Ferrell) career and personal life are on the rocks, after a movie flop and divorce. Seeking on-screen redemption, Jack signs on to play Darrin in a film adaptation of the 1960 hit sitcom ‘Bewitched’.
While casting the role of Samantha, Darrin’s wife, Jack insists that the production recruits an unknown newbie to play the witch housewife.
Jack stumbles upon Isabel (Nicole Kidman) at a book store and instantly gets captivated by her witchy nose wiggle. He quickly asks Isabel to star as Samantha, without knowing that Isabel is an actual witch moved to earth to start a new life as a mortal. Their journey to love is as hypnotic as it is hilarious.
'Bewitched' Cast
Joining the pair as casts are Michael Caine as Nigel Bigelow, Isabel’s dad, Shirley MacLaine as Iris/Endora, Kristin Chenoweth as Maria Kelly, Isabel’s neighbour, Heather Burns as Nina, Jason Schwartzman as Ritchie, David Alan Grier as Jim Fields, Stephen Colbert as Stu Robinson, Jim Turner as Larry, Julie Claire as Hillary, Carole Shelley as Aunt Clara, Katie Finneran as Sheila Wyatt, Jack’s ex-wife.
Steve Carrell makes an entertaining cameo as Uncle Arthur, while Richard Kind and Amy Sedaris star as Jack and Isabel's across-the-street neighbour couple.
Despite Bewitched’s harsh critiques, 71% of the audience liked the film, which makes for a good watch on a family movie night.
