He uses his wishes to change himself in ways to make himself more appealing to the girl, being defeated by Satan at every turn, until he learns that he doesn't have to change himself to find love. For all its computer animation and dot-com references, Bedazzled feels fairly musty; it's the sort that you might take your grandmother to, if it weren't for the penis-size jokes...

...lifted the lid on a multimillion-dollar betting racket that has offered large amounts of cash to players who'll ensure that a favored team will lose a game, or simply that those players will perform below par. Cronje, who claims to have been led into the scheme by "Satan," is unlikely ever again to don his country's cap, and he may well have helped end the careers of some of his most promising players. The financial scandal may in fact be a reflection of changes in the game over the past three decades during which it evolved into...
