i have high hope for it when i hear that it be be make back in 2001 because i read the devil and daniel webster when i be a kid and i find it very interest . they make some change to the story that do not make much sense to me . daniel webster in the story be a famous lawyer from new hampshire in the story . in the movie he be an editor . a lawyer make more sense since he end up represent jabez stone against the devil him or herself ( he be a man in the story and but be a woman in the movie ) in a trial where both of their soul be on the line . a an editor and it doesn not seem likely that daniel webster would have the skill to do this . the acting be decent by all except for alec baldwin and dan aykroyd . these be two actor that i like and they just do an awful job in this movie . it be a though they think they be act in a comedy and but the movie be more a serious one than a comedy . this might be partly due to the fact that the movie be film with a particular vision in mind and and be then re edit by somebody else . give this fact and it surprise that it be at all coherent . i be surprise to see a fair amount of snl cast member in the movie and which far lead me to believe it may have originally be film with the intention of it be more of a comedy . all in all i would have to say it wasn not completely awful and but it wasn not much good . if i could get the hour and a half back and do something else with it and i would . the end be especially disappointing . a in the original story and daniel webster defeat the devil in the trial . jabez then start out again at the beginning of the movie . literally and we be just bring back to the first scene with jabez and and then the movie abruptly end . it actually look a though they just replay jabez first scene over and call it the end . there be no indication that jabez have the benefit of any of the knowledge or experience he gain and so who be to say he do not just repeat his mistake over again and and perhaps over and over in an endless loop . it be an extremely disappointing end and do not make a lot of sense . the decent cast and and the acting of everyone except for baldwin and aykroyd be the only thing that keep this from be a complete and total crap sandwich .
