Elliot Richards, a socially awkward IT worker, is given seven wishes to get the girl of his dreams when he meets a very seductive Satan. The catch: his soul. Some of his wishes include being a 7 foot basketball star, a wealthy, powerful man, and a sensitive caring guy. But, as could be expected, the Devil puts her own little twist on each of his fantasies.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fraser played all five versions of Elliot himself, including the Colombian drug lord and NBA star, requiring extensive prosthetics and dialect coaching.
This is a remake of the 1967 Dudley Moore/Peter Cook film, itself based on the Faust legend—Ramis relocated the devil from stuffy British gentleman to chaotic hot girl energy.
