Product Description

From Amazon.com

Jack Nicholson was born to play the devil, and in George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's novel he plays it for all he's worth. As a wolfish womanizer summoned by three bored women in a picturesque New England town, he's sating all of his appetites with a rakish grin. Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer play the women who discover their untapped magical powers by accident. The smart and sexy singles, out of place in the conservatism of their village, find happiness, however briefly, in the arms and bed of the libidinous devil, but he's got his own ulterior motives. Miller revels in the sensual display of sex, food, and magic, whipping up a storm of effects that finally get out of hand in an overblown ending. It's a handsome film with strong performances all around, but the mix of anarchic comedy and supernatural horror doesn't always gel and Miller seems to lose the plot in his zeal for cinematic excitement. The performances ultimately keep the film aloft: the hedonistic joy that Nicholson celebrates with every leering gaze and boorish vulgarity is almost enough to make bad form and chauvinism cool. --Sean Axmaker

5.0 out of 5 stars The Witches Of Eastwick (1987), July 16 2004
This review is from: Witches of Eastwick (VHS Tape)
Cher has spent most of the 80s by starring in a string of films, rather than spending the 80s in the recording studio. She has released a few albums in the 80s, which were 'I Paralyze' in 1982, 'Cher' in 1987 (her second album that was self-titled), and 'Heart Of Stone' in 1989. In 1987, Cher has starred in three movies back to back, which were 'Suspect', where she played Kathleen Riley, 'Moonstruck', where she played Loretta Castorini, and 'The Witches Of Eastwick', where she played Alexandra Medford. The Witches Of Eastwick is a comedy-thriller, containing elements of comedy, fantasy, love, desire, and a little touch of horror.

Taking place in the small town of Eastwick, where nothing really exciting happens, three girlfriends Alexandra 'Alex' Medford (played by Cher), Jane Spfford (played by Susan Sarandon), and Sukie Ridgemont (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) are in desperate need of men who will give them the love they are longing for. All three were married, but they each suffered the three D's: Death, Desertion, Divorce. Alex's husband has passed on: Death. Sukie's husband has left her: Desertion. And Jane's husband had divorced her: Divorce. On a rainy Thursday night, Sukie and Jane drive up to Alex's house to have a girls night out. While drinking martini's and discussing how much they need men in their lives, they start describing what they really want in a man. That literally draws a stranger to Eastwick. He has just bought the Lenox mansion, an old mansion that was owned by Mr. Lenox before he died. Jane is a cello player, and while giving a performance, with all of Eastwick watching, they all meet the stranger. Everyone is interested him, but they all do not know his name. Sukie works for the Eastwick paper and has been asked to interview the stranger, but cannot remember his name.. Alex and Sukie see Jane holding a boque of flowers. Jane says they are from the stranger, but on the card is just the initial D. Sukie suddenly remembers that his name started with a D, and then remembers that there is also an R in the name, as well as an L. She finally remembers his full name: Daryl Van Horne (played by Jack Nicholson). Daryl meets the three women individually, starting with Alex. He invites her to lunch and shows the personalities that Alex has hated in every man she has ever met, but as much as she wants to hate him for his personalities, she can't help but want him in every sexual way. And that, Daryl proves when the two spend the night together. He then meets Jane. He is enthused by Jane's cellist playing. But tells her that her bowing sucks. As he teaches her to let the passion out, Jane becomes more than turned on and spends the night with Daryl. Alex and Sukie go on up to the mansion, where the find Jane there as well. Alex and Jane, still very much turned on, and somewhat in love, find Daryl turning on the charm when he finally meets Sukie. The four go for a tennis match, leading them to take a swim in Daryl's in-door pool, where Sukie and Daryl spend the night together. Three become Daryl's latest flames. But as they continue to have a good time with Daryl, evil things around Eastwick begin happening, such as the death of Felicia Alden (played by Veronica Cartwright), the annoying wife of Sukie's boss, Clyde Alden (played by Richard Jenkins). The three of them decide to cut off Daryl, for they realize that Daryl is not a man, but the Devil Himself...literally. How can they send Daryl howling back to Hell? Watch this fun-filled comedy and find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eastwick Witches, pretty great!, Dec 28 2011
This review is from: The Witches of Eastwick (DVD)
A winning movie for sure. We had this on VHS and when we got the DVD player we just had to buy the DVD. A superb movie, extremely well acted, funny and a bit scarey in places and one movie we keep on watching again and again. Love it!

Duchess "Duchess" (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Witches of Eastwick (DVD)
We bought this because we liked Jack Nicholson. This is another one of his movies that we liked and have seen many times since we bought it. For us, another good investment!
