    Brilliantly bizarre and very entertaining, this is a great film!

    needs to be explained a lot better.

    When my parents explained that I needed to see this movie because it was really good, I actually believed them. FAIL. This movie doesn't explain anything. No where does it say that these girls are witches or that Jack Nicholson is the devil. I...( read more)t just leaves you there to assume and guess. I dont like that. And I dont like JN so it was a big NO for me.

    This movie is not good, but it gets scored even lower for the promise it carried... and squandered. I mean, it had Sarandon, Pfeiffer and Nicholson as the devil. No one could screw this up without some sort of deliberate attempt to do so. It's hard to pinpoint what it was that I ...( read more)didn't like about this, but the effects seemed cheesy, the acting slightly spastic and most scenes seemed powered by bad ideas. This was just so disappointing.

    Silly but fun. A film about how the devil interacts with people, but if he were really a person. Not to mention if he were a person you were dating. The film is a bit boring until the crazy lady starts to vomit cherry seeds all over, and then when Jack's three women and he hav...( read more)e their scary breakup fight. It gets a bit over the top (like when jack turns into a claymation giant), and the 'men are pigs, women are god's mistake' theme is a bit annoying, but still worth watching for Jack.

    NOT much like the book. Didn't care for it, although Jack Nicholson is great.

    ABC's crappy spots for "Eastwick" motivated me to give "THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK" a chance. I found it almost by accident at Blockbuster and decided to rent it, and a few minutes into the movie, I was kinda mad at myself for not doing so before.

    The cast is simply incredible. B...( read more)ig name after big name. Huge talent after huge talent, with Jack Nicholson and Veronica Cartwright standing out. The dialogue is brilliant. Even though sometimes it's a campy mess, the exchange between actors, as well as the cinematography, are splendid.

    Easily one of my favouritr movies ever. The acting is relaxed, accurate and detailed. It's simply a very entertaining movie from start to finish.
