Plot: The Witches of Eastwick, a memorable comedy with a dark edge, is based upon a novel by John Updike. On Thursday nights three female friends -- Alex (Cher), Sukie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Jane (Susan Sarandon) -- meet to chug martinis, learn Chinese aphrodisiac cooking and lament the scarcity of eligible men. As they sit around, they fantasize about and describe their idea of the ideal male. Arriving in town the following day is Satan, disguised as mysterious stranger Darrell Van Horn (Jack Nicholson). One by one, Van Horne seduces each of the women. Then, strange things begin to happen. When the town matriarch Felicia (Veronica Cartwright) publicly denounces Van Horne, she sustains a nasty compound fracture. When she forces her editor husband to publish a story about Van Horne's sexual antics, Darrell gets his revenge with revoltingly large amounts of cherries. The women now see that they may be in danger and begin to plot their escape. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

This is in my top five favorite movies.......a wonderful erotic romp with elements of social commentary......satirical and critical of religious zeal, conventional marriage, and small town gossip. The acting is amazing and it is Jack Nicholson at his very devilish best. I am not sure what John Updike thinks about this Hollywood rensition of his novel, but it certainly entertains.

The Witches of Eastwick (Keepcase)
Added 1/25/2010

Alex, Jane, and Suki are three bored New England women left to live without their husbands. They innocently conjure up a mystery man, who could satisfy all their desires. A new man moves into town - and he fits the bill perfectly. Daryl Van Horne is filthy rich and wild eyed, and within days the three women have all discovered almighty power within themselves. This movie is wildly imaginative and terrifically entertaining. With Jack Nicholson as the devil himself, things just don't get any better than that. Actually, the whole cast is very well-chosen and all give great performances. This movie is worth seeing.

Very Dark and Weird
Added 1/22/2010

I am very disappointed with this DVD. Of course, I am now comparing it with the TV remake called, 'Eastwick', previously on Wednesday nights. Jack Nicholson always makes a show dark and weird, and this is no exception. The guy playing his role in the TV remake is lighter, more likeable, and much better looking. I wish I had never purchased this DVD and did not even care to finish it. I only got half way through. Also, very dated. The girls were bimbos.
