The ending is a disappointment, a perfunctory upbeat gesture.

Elliot Richardson, a suicidal techno geek, is given seven wishes to turn his life around when he meets a very seductive Satan. The catch: his soul. Some of his wishes include a 7 foot basketball star, a rock star, and a hamburger. But, as could be expected, the Devil puts her own little twist on each of his fantasies.

Variety by Joe Leydon
The 2000 version is louder, broader and much, much bigger.

USA Today by Mike Clark
There's no real dazzle in Bedazzled.

Miami Herald by Sara Wildberger
It's a cute and clever good-vs-evil parable.

TNT RoughCut by Susannah Breslin
Better to wait for movies like Bedazzled on video and watch Fraser in the theatre when he goes back to playing with Gods and Monsters instead of the Devil.

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
Should sell its soul for a joke.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor
It's nowhere near as funny, largely because of an exhaustingly hyperactive performance by Elizabeth Hurley.

Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
It might be worth enduring the Limburger to see Fraser morph from freckled-faced Rod McKuen dweeb to seven-foot albino ball star and never miss a beat.

Entertainment Weekly
A little more script work, at the very least, should have gone into the manufacture of the black comedy Bedazzled.

The clothes are worth it; nothing else is.
