Seven wishes. One deal with the devil. And two very different takes on Bedazzled.

In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we sell our souls (temporarily…) to compare the original comedy classic Bedazzled, starring Dudley Moore and Peter Cook, with the modern remake Bedazzled, starring Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley.

The 1967 original became a cult favourite with its clever British humour, surreal wish scenarios, and iconic performances. Decades later, the 2000 remake reimagined the story with a Hollywood twist, bigger comedy set pieces, and a series of outrageous wish-based transformations.

Mart and Trev break down the wish scenarios, the comedy styles, the performances, and the biggest differences between the two films, asking whether the remake improves the deal… or if the original still has the better bargain.

Does the 1967 classic still grant the best wishes…

or does the 2000 remake make a better deal with the devil?

Be careful what you wish for… the debate begins.
