History Film / Bedazzled2000

* SamusIsAGirl:In this movie, the titular Devil is a female.

In this version, Elliot Richards (Fraser) is a geeky and friendless office drone who is in love with beautiful co-worker Alison (Creator/FrancesOConnor), 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 [[{{Satan}} 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; HilarityEnsues.

* BrokenAesop: Played with. The lesson Elliot learns by going through his wishes and living different lives is that NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction and ItsTheJourneyThatCounts. However, all of his wishes turns out poorly solely because the Devil is a JackassGenie 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. Its due to a conversation with a MagicalNegro that he finally has his CharacterDevelopment, not due to anything the Devil did to him or with his wishes.

* AdaptedOut: The personifications of the Seven Deadly sins, though the Devil in this version is [[CompositeCharacter just as based off of Lillian Lust as much as Peter Cook's depiction of the Devil from the original]].

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: 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 [[TeenyWeenie sorely disappointed]]. He then insists that in his next wish he be well-endowed. This is granted, though he then has [[StraightGay other problems]].

* CastAsAMask: Elizabeth Hurley simply plays the devil's human form, his true form is performed via the PeopleInRubberSuits method by Tom Woodruff Jr. with voice duties by an uncredited Creator/LexLang.

* CompositeCharacter: Being the Devil makes Liz Hurley's character clearly the equivalent of the original's George Spiggott (Creator/PeterCook), but choosing to go as a gorgeous woman who's TheTease also makes her one for the Devil's assistant in the original, Lillian Lust (Creator/RaquelWelch).

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: At the start of the movie, Elliot's ham-fisted efforts to befriend his co-workers are ''painful'' to watch.

* MyCard: The Devil hands Elliot her business card which simply reads "The Devil". Elliot understandably doesn't take it seriously and walks away, only to find she's [[OffscreenTeleportation suddenly behind him]].

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Devil purposely twists Elliot's wishes so they turn out bad for him, which leads to him questioning his identity and eventually, making the selfless wish.

* SuddenlyBilingual: Elliot's first wish ([[spoiler:that he knows of]]) is to be rich and married to his LoveInterest Allison. [[{{Satan}} 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.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Allison gives one to Elliot.
-->'''Elliot:''' Why don't you wanna stay here with me!?\\
'''Allison''' You wanna know why Elliot?! Because you're just. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Too. Sensitive!]]'' I'm about to go out of mind. It's been wonderful, and God knows I love you, but ''enough is enough!'' I...[[AllGirlsWantBadBoys I just want to be with a man who will ignore me and take me for granted and who's only pretending to be interested in who I am and what I think so he can get into my pants.]]

* SmokingIsCool: Smoking gives Hurley the EvilIsSexy look in spades.

* VillainousCrush: Satan has the [[JustForPun hots]] for Elliott and wouldn't mind keeping him beside her in Hell...

* DumbJock: What Elliot turns into when he wishes to become a star NBA player.
