the main problem with this version of bedazzle be that it want to be love . the peter cook or dudley moore original have a cynical bite that be completely miss here . it be also concern not just with the schlemiel wish and but with what make the devil tick . why do he do what he do . what his relationship with god . unfortunately and that movie viewpoint that god be generally far more callous and satanic than satan be not even hint at here . that be say and this version do what it want to do very well . elizabeth hurley be hot and brendan fraser again prove to be a likable and versatile actor . he also convince me represent you can believe dudley moore a an unnoticed little shnook . but brendan fraser . well and he do it . this be a good ( safe ) american version of an acerbic british classic . it be well worth see ( at matineé price . ) i just hope this mean that the original will become available on dvd now . that one be a keeper .
