ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Anton Korngold This big-haired adaptation of John Updike's feminist text stars Cher and I found it to surpass the novel. It is impeccably cast with Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer as a trio of divorcees and spinsters wronged by almost every man in their life unwittingly conjure Jack Nicholson, - the perfect man - who is revealed as the living Devil, after a conversation at night over several glasses of wine. Nicholson gives a career-defining performance as a comically insane seductor. Its less about witchcraft and more about loneliness and boredom in mid-life suburbia. Veronica Cartwright is also incredible.

gwnightscream Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer star in this 1987 horror comedy based on the book. This takes place in small, New England town, Eastwick where we meet single women, Alex (Cher), Jane (Sarandon) and Sukie (Pfeiffer) who turn out to be witches longing for change in their lives and the perfect man. They get their wishes, when they meet mysterious, suave man, Daryl (Nicholson) who seduces them. Soon, they learn he's not as charming as he appears and use witchcraft on him to teach him a lesson. I've always enjoyed this film, it sort of pokes fun at "The Exorcist," Jack & the cast are great as well as John Williams' score. I recommend this good horror comedy.

OllieSuave-007 Dumped by their husbands, Alex (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon), and Suki (Michelle Pfeiffer) are three New England friends who conjure up a the perfect man for themselves. Soon, wealthy and mysterious man Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) moves into town and seem to satisfy their desires. He seduces them one by one and ultimately begins an affair with each one, but bewitching activities soon follow.This movie has an interesting script and story that basically delves into the mystery and nefarious activities of witchcraft, which are comically and dramatically depicted in this film. Nicholson gave a outrageously crude-mouthed and wicked performance as Daryl, and Cher, Sarandon and Pfeiffer each did a pretty good job in their respective roles. There is a good amount of mystery in the movie to keep it suspenseful and a good amount of horror to keep it frightening at times, but entertaining (the cherry throw-up scene has always been a bit disturbing for me). The entire atmosphere and setting of the movie reminds you of a Salem era - perfect for a witches-themed film.Overall, the movie's not a masterpiece, considering some of the overly used crude elements and the diabolical aspects of the film. But it's still good, fictional fun.Grade B-

lasttimeisaw When a devil's avatar inadvertently being summoned by a trinity of 3D women (Cher, dead- husbanded; Sarandon, divorced; Pfeiffer, deserted) in the Eastwick as the paragon of the man of their dreams (Nicholson, who would believe that?), this comedy-horror has reveled in its runaway pulp fondness, occasionally sprinkled with a few trashy SFX, but the overall consensus is that it could pamper to a certain female-skewed audience (who are zealous about woman's independence), but by and large it fails to conjure up a first-class piece of work and more regrettably the characters are really underwritten, a dream-team cast is squandered (Sarandon at least plausibly fares all right with a transformative presence, while Cher and Pfeiffer barely shine in their goofiness and tediousness). First billed in the film, Nicholson continues his lucky streak in horror-maniac breed since his emblematic creepiness in THE SHINING (1980), whose inexplicable sex appeal has never been fully expounded, yet, all three women plain fall for him all of a sudden (maybe this is love's magic attribute). Then the polygamy orgy doesn't last long since (again inexplicably), a local woman (Cartwright, who unbelievably gives the best performance of the film) has been possessed by the devil and does some sort of tele-simultaneous stunts (in a pretty disgusting manner) and slaughtered by her bleeding heart husband. So 3D women apparently are shocked and start to doubt the real identity of their ideal man, who on the other hand, feels being snubbed by them and discharges a fit of torment on them and eventually 3D women unanimously fight back and voodoo the devil and manage to dispel him, later on their live happily with their children (who are the devil's seeds) while the devil is incarcerated inside the multi-TV screens. My recount is as inconsequent as the film goes, but there are my guilty pleasure moments, e.g. the near-end of Nicholson being witched by his own tele-simultaneous tricks, but the blithe spell is too short to be pleased by. Anyway it is glad to see director George Miller (from MAD MAX franchise) has re-regulated his career orbit, now he is the one running the show of animations, the Oscar winning HAPPY FEET (2006, a 7/10) is under his belt, which I could not have foreseen from this film in any event.
