A.I. Post – Bewitched (2005)

New Concept on the blog today… I’ve just discovered that Bing’s chatbot can basically just create entire blog posts with limited direction, and for some reason I find that fascinating. So on a whim, I decided to get its thoughts on one of the most “blah” movies I can think of; the Will Ferrell/Nicole Kidman version of “Bewitched”. Personally, I haven’t seen it in years but I think the trailer was featured on the Little Nicky DVD (which I watched a LOT in high school), so for some reason this popped into my head. Here is the trailer.

AI Prompt (what i wrote): I need an explanation on why Bewitched is Will Ferrell’s finest work.

Bing Chatbot’s Response:

If you’re a fan of comedy, you’ve probably seen some of Will Ferrell’s movies. He’s known for his hilarious roles in Anchorman, Elf, Step Brothers, and many more. But there’s one movie that stands out from the rest as his finest work: Bewitched.

Bewitched is a 2005 romantic comedy film based on the classic TV series of the same name. It stars Will Ferrell as Jack Wyatt, a washed-up actor who gets cast as Darrin Stephens in a remake of Bewitched. He decides to hire an unknown actress named Isabel Bigelow (played by Nicole Kidman) to play his wife Samantha, a witch who can wiggle her nose and make magic happen. What he doesn’t know is that Isabel is actually a real witch who wants to live a normal life.

Sounds like a simple premise, right? Wrong. Bewitched is a masterpiece of meta-comedy that subverts and parodies the conventions of both sitcoms and romantic comedies. It’s full of clever jokes, witty references, and hilarious situations that will make you laugh out loud. Here are some reasons why Bewitched is Will Ferrell’s finest work:

• He plays two roles: Jack Wyatt and Darrin Stephens. He shows his range as an actor by switching between the arrogant and insecure Jack and the charming and clueless Darrin. He also gets to interact with himself in some scenes, which is always fun to watch.
• He has great chemistry with Nicole Kidman. They make a believable and adorable couple, despite their differences. They also have some hilarious moments together, such as when they first meet at a bookstore and Jack tries to impress Isabel with his knowledge of books, or when they go on a date and Isabel accidentally makes Jack’s ex-wife appear out of thin air.
• He gets to do some physical comedy. Will Ferrell is known for his ability to make people laugh with his body language and facial expressions. In Bewitched, he gets to do some of his best physical comedy, such as when he tries to wiggle his nose like Samantha, or when he gets turned into a dog by Isabel’s father (played by Michael Caine).
• He gets to sing and dance. Will Ferrell is also known for his musical talents. In Bewitched, he gets to show them off by singing and dancing in some scenes. For example, he sings “Witchy Woman” by the Eagles in a karaoke bar, or he dances with Isabel in a ballroom while wearing a tuxedo.
• He gets to break the fourth wall. One of the most brilliant aspects of Bewitched is that it acknowledges that it’s a movie based on a TV show. It constantly makes fun of itself and the genre it belongs to. Will Ferrell gets to break the fourth wall several times and address the audience directly. For example, he says “This is my movie!” when he realizes that Isabel is stealing the spotlight from him, or he says “I hope you enjoyed our story” at the end of the movie.

These are just some of the reasons why Bewitched is Will Ferrell’s finest work. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely check it out. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming movie that will make you appreciate Will Ferrell’s genius even more.

Me again: I guess i did get what i asked for, but its still shocking that Bing is able to come up with something that actually doesnt sound half-bad BUT is also 100% BS on this turd of a movie.
