United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"It is most notable for the flourishing of Brendan Fraser as a bona fide comedic talent. But very little else (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[Ramis] has cleverly updated the earlier film (...) [It] is outrageous fun."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Fraser is a wonderful comic actor--better than he gets the credit for (...) The problem with his seven wishes and their associated interludes is that they're not funny enough (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
Ireland	entertainment.ie	"Surprisingly engaging, 'Bedazzled' boasts an excellent turn from Fraser and a script with more than a few moments of genuine hilarity (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"It won't go down as the greatest remake or comedy ever made (...) Fraser's sensitive guy (...) is almost worth the price of admission.	NEU
Australia	Andrew L. Urban Urbancinefile	"While Hurley and O’Connor come up with the goods (...) it is very much Fraser who makes this movie work as a rippling comedy."	POS
United States	Paul Clinton CNN	"Broad stereotypes about gays, jocks and sensitive men abound in this idiotic giggle fest, but that's tempered by the combination of Hurley and Fraser. They make this film a whole lot better than it should have been."	NEU
United States	Maitland McDonagh TV Guide	"Purists will hate this loose remake of the 1967 film (...) just because it's there, but it's enjoyable on its own terms (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
