DEVIL IN A RED DRESS Hurley seduces as ''Bedazzled'''s Beezlebub
Bedazzled: Francois Duhamel

Credits

Release Date: Oct 20, 2000; Rated: PG-13; Video Release Date: Feb 27, 2001; Genre: Comedy; With: Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley; Distributor: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation
Unlike in ''George of the Jungle'' and ''Dudley Do-Right,'' Fraser in Bedazzled -- as an Übernerd promised the world by Satan in return for his soul -- can't muster up enough moon eyed enthusiasm to overcome this witless remake of an old warhorse (in this case, the 1967 Dudley Moore - Peter Cook farce). In fact, the flick itself represents a kind of Faustian pact: Accompanying every comic misfire (and there are many, despite the script contributions of Harold Ramis and Larry Gelbart) is a pinup worthy Hurley as the teasing Beelzebub taking the form of a meter maid, a miniskirted hot for teacher, or a booty shaking cheerleader. Evil, evil stuff.
