How far will a man go to win the woman he loves? That's the devilish question behind this satirical romantic comedy. Elliot Richards (
Brendan Fraser), a low-level white-collar worker, has fallen in love with his co-worker Allison (
Frances O'Connor), who barely knows he exists. Desperate to win her love, sad sack Elliot is approached by the
Devil (
Elizabeth Hurley), who offers him seven wishes in exchange for his soul. Elliot accepts, but none of his wishes works out quite the way that he had hoped; after transforming himself into a South American tycoon, a champion NBA basketball player, a famous author, the most sensitive man in the world, and even the president of the United States, Elliot discovers that the
Devil has added a crucial loophole each time, and for all his troubles, Allison still isn't interested in him. Directed by
Harold Ramis,
Bedazzled was adapted from the 1968 cult movie of the same name written by and starring
Peter Cook and
Dudley Moore.
