This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

OK. Decent acting, great directing work, story is funny, sexy, dark and sassy. Special effects are not bad at all considering it's a 1987 flick. That being said... This movie is great! If you're a fan of Sarandon, Cher, Pfeiffer, or Nicholson, you'll probably like it.A strange man, apparently summoned by three frustrated women, shows up in a perfectly ordinary American town. He soon will change their lives for the better or the worse. Filled with magic, symbolism and detail, the movie catches our attention from the start. Susan Sarandon's is the most fun to me, as she goes from super-dowdy to a free-spirited sexual being. And you've got to love Jack Nicholson being suave and evil as only Nicholson can be. Plus, Cher with huge infomercial hair! This film is wonderfully scored by John Williams (Jaws, Hook) and his music suits the film amazingly. I also thought that John Williams' score was fantastic and had this magical/mysterious quality that really meshed with the story and visuals. It's not his best score, but it was still a very good one. There were also a number of special effects by ILM which I thought were also well-done, especially considering this was made in the late 80's. Still, this is a quality film that shows off director George Miller's versatility and the acting talents of its cast.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

In the traditional and conservative Eastwick, the sculptress Alexandra Medford (Cher), the shy musician and teacher Jane Spofford (Susan Sarandon) and the journalist Sukie Ridgemont (Michelle Pfeiffer) are best friends. Alexandra is a widow; Jane is divorced since she can not have a child; and Sukie is divorced because she frequently gets pregnant and has five children. They are sexually repressed and one night, they describe the characteristics of their ideal man while drinking. There is a storm on the town and the mysterious Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) appears in town and buy a notorious mansion. NJobody can recall his name, but he seduces the three friends. Meanwhile the pious Felicia Alden (Veronica Cartwright), who is married with Sukie's boss Clyde Alden (Richard Jenkins), has a weird accident and feels that Daryl is the devil. When Felicia dies, Alexandra, Jane and Sukie realize that there is something strange about Daryl. But what can they do? "The Witches of Eastwick" is a sexy and original film with a strange combination of horror and comedy. Jack Nicholson is comfortable performing another totally incorrect character. The sinful witches are represented by three gorgeous actresses. The special effects are great and responsible for funny scenes. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "As Bruxas de Eastwick" ("The Witches of Eastwick")

To put it in one sentence - it is a broad satire on human condition and western society, still very modern, sharp and subversive after 25 odd years.Casting is spot on; it is one of the very best Jack Nicholson acting performances; he carries on through the movie with terrific energy, an absolute devil, if only a small one.Susan Sarandon as Jane Spofford is a close match. She is a true witch; it is a great pleasure to watch her unleash her heroine true self.Cher is very good, if only somewhat reserved. Michelle Pfeiffer has quite a few good moments.The whole female trio works really well.Veronica Cartwright over-the-top performance as an evil moralfag is another great, if somewhat guilty pleasure. An absolute dark comic masterpiece with a lots of re-watch potential. Very undervalued.

I have a sense of humor. I like many different kinds of humor. I like more or less sophisticated comedies. I'm open for experiments. I really wanted to like "Witches of Eastwick". I tried really hard . I've even seen the movie twice , but I simply don't like it.On paper this movie looks interesting. Directed by George Miller ("Mad Max") with all-star cast – Jack Nicholson ("Chinatown") , Susan Sarandon ("Atlantic city") , Michelle Pfeiffer ("Dangerous liaisons") and Cher ("Mask") plus unusual idea (three women with magical powers versus Satan). So , what went wrong ? The movie is simply unfunny.I liked the performances of the cast. The special effects look really good even after all those years. As I said earlier the idea for this movie is original and interesting. The movie does say something about mentality of small town society and the desires of women.The movie however is no fun. It's supposed to be horror-comedy , yet it fails as both horror and comedy. It's not scary , but what is worse is that is not one bit funny. I honestly don't see where all the jokes are. Where are the moments when I was supposed to laugh ? Can somebody tell me ? I can't even say that this movie has forced humor , because I don't see ANY humor here. The whole movie feels like the movie makers were having fun with special effects , but nothing more."Witches of Eastwick" are dull compared to "Beetlejuice" or "Gremlins". The whole movie is too self indulgent and self serious to be funny. I give it 2/10.
