Watch The Witches of Eastwick For Free

Very disappointing...

hyped garbage

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The Witches of Eastwick (1987) is one of my all time favorite movies. It stars Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jack Nicholson. This movie is a comedic fantasy. The plot surrounds three single women who are all lacking and somewhat depressed with the state of their lives. Their deeply held desires have been long repressed. One night, while they are all hanging out together, like they do every Thursday, they all wish for a certain kind of man to come into their lives. Soon after they all make this wish, Daryl VanHorn (Nicholson) comes into the small conservative town of Eastwick. He charms all of them with his ways and seduces them. They start seeing him at his mansion all the time, but when they start noticing certain things about him, they realize that maybe he isn't all he's cracked up to be. When they realize this, they start thinking of how to get him to go away. This is such a fun, energetic, well performed movie, you're guaranteed to have loads of fun with it. The actors do fabulous jobs with their roles, especially Nicholson. There are moments where I am blown away with the cast's acting abilities. And the writing is perfect because it has both it's very amusing comedic moments and its times of drama and seriousness. I understand this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this really is a fabulously made film that I 100% recommend! 10/10 for The Witches of Eastwick!

From the director who brought us Mad Max comes a modern-day fairy tale of sorts that examines the age-old battle of the sexes. Alex (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon) and Sukie (Michelle Pfeiffer) are three single women who live in the sleepy New England town of Eastwick. Since all of them lack a man in their lives, and are dissatisfied with the ones who are in town, they wish for a handsome stranger to visit. Miraculously, their wish is granted when Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) strolls into town and succeeds in turning their lives (and the town's) upside down. For the most part, I thought that the story was very effective in setting up its characters and giving them depth, even Daryl. The three women who are the titular "Witches of Eastwick" were all distinct personalities and had situations that made you care about them. Generally speaking, the performances were all very good, although Jack Nicholson towers above the rest of the cast as he brings his brand of insanity to what is essentially the devil in human form. Even the whole "witch" thing was dealt with rather subtly, as the women only become witches by finding the power within themselves. It is this struggle between male and female power which forms the core conflict of the film, and it is a compelling one even though it has been many times over in various forms. The townspeople are also given some development, although probably not enough to warrant the attention provided them. There are references made to the Salem witch trials, and the wife of the town's newspaper editor (Richard Jenkins...with hair!) acts as the mouthpiece for morality when the the three "witches" start their relationship with Daryl. Despite this interesting aside, I think it detracts a little bit from the main conflict. Moving on, 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 1987. Overall, I thought this was a very entertaining and funny movie that presented a well-worn theme in a fresh way. The only detraction, I think, is that there's a bit of a mean streak in regards to the portrayal of the male characters which might turn that half of the audience off. Still, this is a quality film that shows off director George Miller's versatility and the acting talents of its cast.

Dumped by their husbands, Alex (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon), and Suki (Michelle Pfeiffer) are three New England friends who conjure up a the perfect man for themselves. Soon, wealthy and mysterious man Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) moves into town and seem to satisfy their desires. He seduces them one by one and ultimately begins an affair with each one, but bewitching activities soon follow.This movie has an interesting script and story that basically delves into the mystery and nefarious activities of witchcraft, which are comically and dramatically depicted in this film. Nicholson gave a outrageously crude-mouthed and wicked performance as Daryl, and Cher, Sarandon and Pfeiffer each did a pretty good job in their respective roles. There is a good amount of mystery in the movie to keep it suspenseful and a good amount of horror to keep it frightening at times, but entertaining (the cherry throw-up scene has always been a bit disturbing for me). The entire atmosphere and setting of the movie reminds you of a Salem era - perfect for a witches-themed film.Overall, the movie's not a masterpiece, considering some of the overly used crude elements and the diabolical aspects of the film. But it's still good, fictional fun.Grade B-

i never thought that i would like this movie but its great first the acting was amazing but jack really steels the show he was funny as heck he made you hate him but at the same time you charming the rest where great to its not for kids its really mature and for the problem i had with the movie it is sort of off at parts so off its wired to watch the movie it was made by George miller who made mad max and surprisingly happy feet so he did a great job the special effects where OK at parts its the 90s so that gets a pass the music was wired as while it doesit feel like john Williams did the score for this it sounds a bit to magical but over all its a great time
