What critics compared Bewitched to
Saddled with the concept of reinventing "Bewitched" for the big screen, Nora Ephron - the brains behind a veritable Top Ten list of romantic comedies (from "When Harry Met Sally" to "You've Got Mail") - has a clever conceit in mind.
Now, many years later, the well-known director of "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail" adapts the classic into a modern tale.
She knows romantic comedies, having helmed such hits as Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail , as well as writing the quintessential romantic comedy, When Harry Met Sally â¦.
The honor goes to director/co-writer Nora Ephron, the auteur responsible for other lightweight losers such as "Lucky Numbers" and "You've Got Mail."
Writer-director Nora Ephron ("Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail" ) and her co-writer sister Delia seem to view Kidman's powers as a metaphor for women who think they can fix men and break them of bad habits.
Throughout "Bewitched," which was directed by Nora Ephron ("Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail"), Kidman delivers her lines in a breathy Marilyn Monroe whisper, wearing pastel colors and lamb-soft curls to accentuate Isabel's innocence.
(This used to be Nora "Sleepless in Seattle" Ephron's bailiwick, until "Bewitched" made her star fade a bit.)
