Falling somewhere between the Beyond the Fringe school and the Monty Python league, Bedazzled is an irreverent Faust take-off, written by and starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (Moore also composed the music). Moore plays a short-order cook at a London Wimpyburger restaurant, who falls hopelessly in love with waitress Eleanor Bron. About to commit suicide, the broken-hearted Moore is approached by Satan (Peter Cook). The Fallen Angel offers to purchase Moore's soul in exchange for seven

I found a lot of it only mildly amusing but always enjoyable, due mostly to the rapport between the mischievous Cook and the sawed-off sad sack Moore.
Cook and Moore were a perfect team, not only in their verbal delivery and acting styles, but also physically -- and cinematically.
...the duo's best film, Bedazzled brought the spirit of Swinging London plus impudent pokes at religion, politics, and pop culture itself to their new audiences.
Painfully funny.
Simply magic......a comedy that will cast a spell on you from start to end
...the film suffers from too many 70s era flourishes...and extreme overlength.
As close as narrative film would ever come to reproducing the Cook and Moore of such stage shows as Beyond the Fringe and Good Evening.
Who says theology can't be hilarious?
This movie is very funny at first, but the story is very familiar and the jokes wear thin in the middle of the movie. Of course it does have a good cast, and they're good in the movie. There are some good parts, but overall it's not a great movie.

despite the feel of a joke too long and a weak ending still a welcome addition to the pantheon of brit comedy. cook has a roaring good time as george spiggot, who is really beezlebub, mr. scratch, mephistopheles, and legion, and he's trying to get back into heaven with every dirty trick he can pull. dudley moore
