Instead of an actual remake of the 1964-72 hit TV show, the Ephron sisters opted for a behind-the-scenes parody. Down-and-out actor Jack Wyatt (Ferrell) hopes his new role as Darrin will magically revive his career. Not wanting to be upstaged, he picks a nose-wiggling--and unknown--Isabel (Kidman) for Samantha the witch, not knowing that she really IS one. Since she disavowed (sort of) her witchery to live a mortal life, she accepts and sees Jack as a potential worldly mate. Once his egomania becomes evident, she can't help but revert to a little voodoo to shake things up. Great cast but tale doesn't cast a spell.

Bewitched was a tv show back in the day and was remade into a movie. I'm not a fan of Nicole Kidman but since Will Ferrell was in it and I used to watch the tv show when I was younger, I decided to watch it. Jack is an actor that wants to get his "stardom" back and plays Darrin. Isabel is picked to play Samantha, who is not a known actress. No one knows that Isabel is actually a real witch, like her part in the show of Samantha. She starts to pursue Jack but sees how his personality is, she starts to have some fun with her powers.
