This 2000 comedy, directed by Harold Ramis, is a very loose remake of the 1967 comedy starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, which itself was a very loose play on Faust and other devil-made-me-do it classics. In this version, Cook’s part of the satanic schemer who grants wishes that turn out horribly is played by Elizabeth Hurley, who fills out the role very nicely. Very, very nicely indeed. Brendan Fraser plays her poor pawn, and Frances O’Connor has one of the best roles – more than one of them, actually – as the elusive object of his desire.
