PLOT MY REVIEW Fave Quote Fave Scene Quotable Brendan "I was sent on seven different journeys, so that meant I wore elaborate
makeup for each character, learned to speak Spanish and Russian, became a
superstar basketball player -- all in all, it was an identity crisis." THE LOOKS Wait a minute...are you asking yourself who this last guy is? That's Elliot the Rock star. He was cut from the theatrical release, but is going to make an appearance on the DVD. You'll have to look around for it, they hid it.
Read about my 3 days on the set. My Bedazzling Experience
Elliot Richards (Brendan) would give anything to have Allison Gardner (Frances O'Connor) in his life, or so he says. Who should overhear? The devil (Elizabeth Hurley) of course. She offers him "seven absolutely fabulous wishes for one piddling little soul". Only Elliot finds out that you don't always get what you wish for.
I'm extremely biased on this film, since I was an extra in it, but I really do believe it is Brendan's best comedy to date. The makeup transitions each of the characters go through are simply amazing and showcases Brendan's range to the utmost. Does it have it's flaws? Certainly-the scenes that weren't originally in the script come across as thrown together-which they were. The ending might be just a smidge trite as well, but in general it does what it's supposed to-entertain.
"Damn the devil! Damn the devil to hell!"
The basketball scene has me laughing harder each time I see it.
Brendan had several completely different characters, each with a distinctly different look. Here's a few of them.
