BEWITCHED (2005)
SYNOPSIS
In Columbia Pictures' beguiling romantic comedy,
Bewitched, an all-star cast led by Nicole Kidman, Will
Ferrell, Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine cast their
spell on the movie version of one of TV's most
memorable and beloved shows under the direction of
Nora Ephron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Delia
Ephron for producers Douglas Wick, Lucy Fisher,
Penny Marshall and Nora Ephron.
Out in California's San Fernando Valley, Isabel (Nicole
Kidman), is trying to reinvent herself. A naive,
good-natured witch, she is determined to disavow her
supernatural powers and lead a "normal" life.
At the same time, across town, Jack Wyatt (Will
Ferrell) a tall, charming actor is trying to get his career
back on track. He sets his sights on an updated
version of the beloved 1960's situation comedy
"Bewitched," reconceived as a starring vehicle for
himself in the role of the mere-mortal Darrin.

himself in the role of the mere-mortal Darrin.
Fate steps in when Jack accidentally runs into Isabel. He is immediately attracted to her and her nose,
which bears an uncanny resemblance to the nose of Elizabeth Montgomery, who played Samantha in
the original TV version of "Bewitched." He becomes convinced she could play the witch Samantha in
his new series.
Isabel is also taken with Jack, seeing him as the quintessential mortal man with whom she can settle
down and lead the normal life she so desires.
It turns out they're both right - but in ways neither of them ever imagined.
