highly recommended

Need someone with demonic dash to portray the Devil. There are only two choices. Old Ned himself. And Jack Nicholson. The Witches of Eastwick to the better actor-and came up with the sleekest sexiest supernatural comedy/thriller to emerge from this or any other world earning Nicholson 1987 Best Actor Awards from the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics. The "witches" are in three modern-day women yearning for Mr. Right in a quaint New England town full of Mr. Uptights. Played glowingly by Cher (Moonstruck) Susan Sarandon (Lorenzo's Oil) and Michelle Pfeiffer (The Age of Innocence) they're lovely enough to tempt even the most jaded netherworld denizen. Soon wealthy Daryl van Horne (Nicholson) arrives. Is his sudden appearance a coincidence? Or the outcome of the women's unconscious sorcery in this smooth adaptation of John Updyke's novel? Conjure up an evening's entertainment with The Witches of Eastwick. And have a devil of a good time.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569732452 Manufacturer No: 73245

One of my movies....

Love this movie as this type of movie
fits me to a tee. It is a entertaining
movie to watch. Nicholson is always
great to watch but Cher, Susan and Michelle
are absolutely perfect too.
I highly recommend this movie.

Excited!

I had to look a while to find a copy of this movie, thanks Amazon!

This movie was made almost 20 years ago and all the female

actors look almost the same, hows that for witchcraft and a good plastic surgeon. Jack, however, hasen't faired as well, but he'll always be the devil to me. He's just so good in every movie he does. My favorite line in this movie was, Jack was having tea with Susan Sarandon, she was explaining to him that the estate he just bought had a dark history about
witches, Jack scoffs at this and says, " The whole witchcraft scare was invented by the male medical profession that wanted to get midwifes out of the child birthing business" Made a lot of sense to me. Enjoy!

Like "Click" for girls!

This is an entertaining movie, unless you know several girls who are under the impression you are Satan, then you might want to not let them see it. They'll probably see it anyway. Girls are resourceful like that. If they do, do your best not to act like Satan and you should be ok.

Social commentary degenerates into middling horror pic

Three frustrated single women (Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer) inadvertently call forth the Devil (or a devil) in an idyllic small town. The entire cast is very good, with Jack Nicholson being an especially inspired choice as the satanic Daryl Van Horn. Veronica Cartwright also stands out as the town busybody. The film is most interesting in the beginning, as it appears that we will be watching a sly criticism of conventional morality, but the script quickly goes astray. It appears as though Cartwright is intended to be an intolerant Phyllis Schlafly type, but that doesn't really work since she becomes the victim of magical forces from the instant Daryl enters town, making her a very sympathetic figure instead. We should have been given an opportunity to revel along with the three friends in the break from conformism that their unconventional relationship with Van Horn provides, but since we viewers are aware that Van Horn is actually persecuting Cartwright's character without provocation, they merely come off as ignorant dupes of a duplicitous male instead of examples of female empowerment. By the end of the movie, we are watching a very conventional (though not scary) horror film as the three women try to send the devil back where he came from. I haven't read John Updike's novel, which was the source for the screenplay, but it is difficult to imagine that the film is an accurate dramatization of his themes.
