...an uninspired misfire of a TV-series knockoff that, despite its great cast and smart filmmakers, never manages to scare up much magic. |

What keeps Bewitched just barely out of the summer slush pile is its sense of light-hearted fun... |

...too clever by half, warping the movie so that it’s neither a sweet repetition of the original notion (man and witch play house) nor an insider-oriented parody of showbiz neuroticism. |

...I can tell you this about the new Bewitched: It is an affliction. As if the work of an angry god, the movie collects the perspectives of Nora Ephron (director, co-writer), Delia Ephron (co-writer), and Penny Marshall (producer), coalescing into a showbiz self-suck unrivaled in modern times for smugness, vapidity, and condescension. |

Bewitched is a veritable all-star cavalcade, but if it lost every bad idea, miscast actor, wasted performance, and botched scene, nothing would be left but the end credits. |
