The remake of Bedazzled (1967) was released in 2000. Directed by Harold Ramis, it stars Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley.In this version, Elliot Richards (Fraser) is a geeky and friendless office drone who is in love with beautiful co-worker Alison (Frances O'Connor), but is too shy to act on his feelings. After being ditched at a bar by his "friends", Elliot runs into a beautiful woman (Hurley) who tells him that she's the Devil and offers him seven wishes in return for his soul. While obviously hesitant, he accepts in the hopes of using his wishes to make himself into the perfect man for Alison. | |

Big Prick, Big Problems: Defied. Elliot sees the potential for this and makes sure to clarify that he wants to be reasonably well-endowed in his next wish, forcing the devil to contrive a completely different way to screw him over. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Zig-Zagged. On the one hand, a random lady at a club telling you she's The Devil and providing a card that says "The Devil" on it as proof, and granting your Mundane Wish with a bus ride to McDonalds isn't very convincing. On the other hand, Elliot refusing to believe that the strange lady who engages in Offscreen Teleportation, changes outfits in the blink of an eye, can read his every thought, has a club full of people who all know his name, and provides the exact same cookies his grandmother used to bake might actually be The Devil counts... until she transforms into a stereotypical Big Red Devil right in front of him. When he finally believes her, her sympathy is almost sarcastic. | |

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_16e94b0a | comment |
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: The original fifth wish saw Elliot decide to become a famous rock star, where he and Alison are a Sid and Nancy-style trainwreck of a couple. The scene was cut when the producers learned that the Cluster F-Bomb dialogue, explicit drug and sex references would have increased the movie's MPAA rating. It was replaced with the much tamer Presidential wish. | |

Read the Fine Print: Oddly enough, this is one case where the fine print in a Faustian contract works in the beneficiary's favor. The fine print contains the escape clause that says the contract becomes void if he makes a selfless wish. | |

Suddenly Bilingual | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_1b4a07c6 | comment |
Suddenly Bilingual: Elliot's first wish (that he knows of) is to be rich and married to his Love Interest Allison. The Devil makes him a Colombian drug lord. When Elliot first encounters his butler, the butler talks to him in Spanish. Elliot's first reaction is to tell the butler that he doesn't speak Spanish... in Spanish. After realizing what he's just done, Elliot starts rapidly talking in Spanish, explaining how he never paid attention in the class. A little while later he realizes in the same manner that he knows Russian too. | |

| Bedazzled (2000) / int_3850d8f8 | comment |
Sensitive Artist: After reading Allison's diary and learning she wants a sensitive guy, Elliot wishes to become the most emotionally sensitive guy on Earth. The Devil, in what becomes a reoccuring pattern of Be Careful What You Wish For, makes him In Touch with His Feminine Side: he's so empathetic, he unabashedly cries at the thought of dolphins, cries at the beauty of the setting sun, and barely resists when two "bad boys" show up, kick sand in his face, and flirt with Allison in front of him, because He Wants His Beloved To Be Happy and Allison is very receptive to their flirtation. Naturally, he is also able to whip out a hyper-realistic pencil sketch of Allison within seconds and wrote a song dedicated to the dolphin on his guitar. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Played with. The lesson Elliot learns by going through his wishes and living different lives is that No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction and It's the Journey That Counts. However, all of his wishes turns out poorly solely because the Devil is a Jackass Genie who technically gave him what he asked for, but thought of a way to screw it up — there was nothing obviously wrong with the wishes themselves, just how she fulfilled them. By the time Elliot is on his fifth wish, he stops wishing for Allison to love him, not because he's stopped wanting her but because he recognizes that the Devil will change Allison's personality and/or contrive some reason she isn't interested in him. It's due to a conversation with a Magical Negro that he finally has his Character Development, not due to anything the Devil did to him or with his wishes. | |

Mundane Wish: Given a test wish, Elliot tries something simple: a Big Mac and a large Coke. The devil fulfills his wish equally mundanely: she walks him to a bus station, they ride to McDonald's, and she buys one for him. With his money. | |

Sweet and Sour Grapes | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_45d22aad | comment |
Sweet and Sour Grapes: Elliot spends most of the movie desperately wanting to get together with Alison. In the end, he tries to ask her out the old-fashioned way. She politely turns him down since she's already with someone, which he accepts with dignity, and it looks like it'll be a Bittersweet Ending about a man who Did Not Get the Girl but gained confidence in himself... until he meets the new (literal) Girl Next Door, who looks almost exactly like Alison but whose personality and interests better match Elliot's. All right then. | |

Loving a Shadow | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_516f986d | comment |
Loving a Shadow: Downplayed. Elliot spends most of the movie insisting that he knows Alison ("I know that she likes her bagels buttered, not toasted," "I know Alison is not really like that"), but in the end after his Character Development, he has to admit that he doesn't know her, but he would like to get to know her. After Elliot starts dating Nicole, the movie empathizes that it's a real relationship by listing the various ways that they annoy each other. | |

No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: In a sense. Elliot reveals near the end of the film that he's always wished someone would just wave a magic wand make all the things he's ever wanted happen. While the Devil is a Jackass Genie, a conversation with God convinces him that even if he could get the things he wanted by magic, it wouldn't mean as much as if he earned them through his own hard work. | |

God Test: The Devil offers Elliot a test wish to prove that she's for real. He asks for a Big Mac and a Coke, probably expecting her to conjure them out of the air. Instead she puts them on a bus to McDonald's and orders them (and makes him pay for it). Elliot, unsurprisingly, does not find this convincing. | |

Bigger Is Better in Bed: Allison and Elliot clearly both think so. When he's a basketball star in one wish and she's a reporter clearly lusting after him, she has tons of insinuations on this, then quite openly stares waiting for Elliot to open his towel. They are both sorely disappointed. He then insists that in his next wish he be well-endowed. This is granted, though he then has other problems. | |

Jackass Genie | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_671681af | comment |
Jackass Genie: The Devil fits the trope perfectly, with every wish Elliot makes being granted exactly without giving Elliot exactly what he wanted (rich, powerful and married=drug lord in unhappy marriage, emotionally sensitive=overdoes it, basketball player=intellectually limited with tiny penis, intellectually brilliant writer=gay, President of the United States=Abraham Lincoln on the night of his assassination). Admittedly, the Devil is obviously not a Genie, and in the end it turns out worse for her than it does for him. | |

Chekhov's Classroom: Sort of. Early in the film the Devil mentions that Elliot wants to be liked and loved, but how about respected and feared? Near the end of the movie, Elliot doesn't end up with Allison or befriend his coworkers, but he does gain his boss's and coworker's respect and fear by standing up to them. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: In some cases, the consequences are arbitrary. To sum the whole thing up: Satan isn't even a Literal Genie, she just gets to screw up Elliot's wishes however she wants. To wit: First wish: to be rich and powerful and married to Allison. He becomes a Colombian drug lord, and while married to Allison, she hates his guts and is cheating on him. Second wish: to be the most emotionally sensitive man in the world. He cries over everything and Allison leaves him because he's an annoying wimp. Third wish: a superstar athlete and a Chick Magnet. He becomes an awesome basketball player with no brain and a Teeny Weenie. Fourth wish: intelligent, charming and handsome and wanted Allison to fall in love with him. Making him gay was arbitrary. Fifth wish: wished to be the President. He becomes Abe Lincoln on the day of his assassination. After his fifth wish it is revealed that what ended up being considered his actual first wish (a Big Mac and a Coke) was granted before he even signed the contract, so his fifth wish is actually the sixth. But the seventh wish makes up for everything. Literally, it turns out. Allison herself experiences this in Elliot's second wish, as the reason he made it was because he read in Allison's diary that she'd really love to date an emotionally sensitive guy who's not afraid to express his emotions. But she finds hyper sensitive Elliot extremely annoying and eventually decides her new preferred type of a man is a selfish jerk who will take advantage of her and only pretend to love her for sex. | |

Take That! Also: The Devil mentions that she has offices in "Purgatory, Hell, and Los Angeles". Early on in the film, the Devil selects San Francisco as the location of her newest victim. Other candidates included the Vatican City (cited to be too hard) and New York (cited as too easy). The Devil's take on God being a man. When Elliot wishes to be a basketball player, The Devil briefly makes him Dennis Rodman, with hat, heels, and pink boa, to his horror. Although she was just kidding. | |

Big Red Devil: In order to convince Elliot that she is the real deal, the Devil briefly transforms into a more typical Western portrayal of Satan with horns, red skin, and a goatee, stating that she dislikes it because "it's so trick-or-treat." Later, in an attempt to intimidate Elliot into making his final wish, she transforms herself into a large, demonic Chernabog-like beast. It turns out they were just special effects. | |

Sexy Whatever Outfit: Every time the Devil appears to Elliot after one of his wishes, she wears a different Fanservice outfit, usually as the object of desire in various stock male sexual fantasies: After his Columbian drug lord wish, she is dressed as a sexy policewoman. During his NBA player wish, she is one of the team's cheerleaders. After that wish, she is a nurse at a hospital. After his next wish, she is a Hot Teacher, complete with glasses and a short plaid skirt. Deleted Scene Bonus: After the Charming-but-gay wish she teases him as a French Maid and appears as a leather-clad groupie photographer in Elliot's (deleted) rock star wish. | |

Most of what she says of herself and her intentions are Metaphorically True (though Elliot is usually too nice or oblivious to catch their double meanings), and she uses these to be a Jackass Genie. Elliot actually catches onto this during his second wish (technically third) and carefully rewords his wish to be more specific than he had been before. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: After Elliot's fifth wish. He learns it's really his sixth wish since the Devil is counting the Big Mac and Coke even though he hadn't signed a contract yet, making him finally realize the Devil is a Jackass Genie who will mess up his every wish no matter what and claim his soul giving him nothing for it. When he tries to confess to a priest he's arrested and booked for drunk and disorderly conduct, and the Devil herself locks him up and tries to break him by telling him You Can't Fight Fate. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Near the end, Elliot's coworkers had the bright idea to make fun of him rather than offer sympathy or support after he got turned down by Allison. Eliot's Tranquil Fury reaction quickly puts them in their place. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: The Devil does this when she attempts to scare Elliot towards the end, first becoming a large horned-monster and then a giant bikini-clad version of herself, both times with a large pitchfork. | |

Evil Is Petty | |
| Bedazzled (2000) / int_fe64d5a1 | comment |
Evil is Petty: In between wishes, the Devil gives people parking fines, tells high school kids not to bother with their studies because they were boring, swaps medication for Tic Tacs, and cheats at chess with God. | |
