Theater VI: Bedazzled (2000)




It's Been Done Before show

Summary: Have you ever thought about selling your soul to the devil? Well, neither did Elliot Richards but the devil came to him with an offer to trade seven wishes for his one measly soul and he accepted. This week we’re talking about the 2000 remake of Bedazzled starring the underappreciated Brendan Fraser and the extremely beautiful Elizabeth Hurley. It is the classic tale of man being approached by Satan and tricked into signing over his soul to the devil, the difference here is that Satan is sexy and really has a soft spot for the guy she is trying to trick into eternal damnation. The wishes all revolve around Elliot trying to make a woman he is stalking fall in love with him but they all have an unexpected twist that makes them less than ideal. In the end, Elliot realizes that wishing for things will not bring him happiness, he learns a few life lessons and finds romance with his new neighbor. Why did it take so much convincing for Elliot to believe she was the devil? Why didn’t he learn from his first mistake and get more specific and detailed with his wishes? Why didn’t anyone warn Allison about Elliot stalking her for the last several years? What is Satan’s annual clothing budget? Thank you for all of the love you continue to show us.
