Review by demi adejuyigbe 8

Abstract, psychotic, and nonsensical, but extremely fucking fun in a way that proves George Miller is just the absolute king. I did NOT know anything about this movie going into it and there’s literally not one aspect I was expecting. Jack Nicholson saying “I always like a little pussy after lunch” felt like a Sixth Sense-level twist. As did the absolutely horrifying ending!!!
Jack Nicholson looks like I tried to draw a political cartoon of Steven Seagal from memory. Direct line from his performance here to Jack Black’s career. Cher, Sarandon, and Pfeiffer are so hot in this movie they’re hurting my feelings. If Susan Sarandon ever gave me the eyes she's giving Jack Nicholson I’d be storming the Capitol…

Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie may be the most attractive a woman has ever looked.

If you told me that in the 1980s Jack Nicholson was actually the vessel for Satan I would 100 percent believe it.
Also, everyone looks great in this movie but Michelle Pfeiffer in those glasses is the most attractive a (white) woman has ever been.

The cinema is Susan Sarandon's hair.
Review by Ian West ★★★★½ 7

Curly hair for days, cherry puking, over indulgence, Veronica Cartwright, magical tennis, jacks sleaziod ponytail, voodoo dolls, growling satan, ice cream goo, three queens owning the screen, church freakouts, and Jack Nicholson at his most disgusting—dialing up the Devil with that very specific Jack charm. I love the John Williams score, the entire setting, and if you ask me... this is easily some of George Miller’s best work—containing everything I’d want from a witchy New England atmos jam. I feel like it’s a sin that people flock to Hocus Pocus over this movie... that movie is fine, but this movie is awesome!
It’s also a damn sin that this doesn’t have a solid blu release here in the states... that dvd is terrrible and that double feature disc with Practical Magic isn’t anything to write home about either... this should have a collectors edition or something.
Review by Matt Singer ★★★½

“Men are such cocksuckers, aren’t they? You don’t have to answer that. It’s true. They’re scared. Their dicks get limp when confronted by a woman of obvious power. And what to do they do about it? Call them witches. Burn them, torture them, until every woman is afraid. Afraid of herself, afraid of men, and all for what? Fear of losing their hard-on. Let’s play some music.”

Movie kinda sucks but holy fucking shit I am so gay. Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer are STUNNING. Every scene had me drooling. They're so fucking gorgeous. And I am so very very gay.

Plot was weak tho
Review by jhendricko ★★½

Do I not like Jack Nicholson?
Enjoyed the Cher, Sarandon, Pfeiffer stuff, but really thought Nicholson was a challenge.
Do the kids at the end of this end up getting kidnapped by GaGa in AHS hotel? Also, is this the same cinematic universe as the 90s Dennis the Menace? I hope so.
Review by stellalyons

Jack Nicholson really got to make out w Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer while donning a rat tail and an unfortunate wardrobe 😩.

THEIR HAIR!!!!
Review by Tom Lehmann ★★½

I wish George Miller would have gone a little easier on the unnecessarily broad wackiness that sours so many films of this generation. It really distracts from the underlying comments on double standards and hypocrisy of stereotypical gender roles; that's what gives The Witches of Eastwick enough relevance even in today's movie landscape.

i don’t really know what i just watched but i want to watch it a million times over and over
Review by nathankerce ★★★★

Ryan's pick for movie night. I knew of this movie's existence but really had no idea what it was about. I absolutely loved it.
It feels like a children's movie that a drunk and horny Jack Nicholson wandered onto the set of, ruining every take. Its chaotic energy is high and its perverse nature is uncomfortable but I was extremely entertained. Go figure that George Miller had yet another classic hidden away in his filmography that I hadn't seen. A new favorite of mine.
Hilariously, the only version of this on Blu-Ray available in America is in a double feature pack with Practical Magic. Truly a fucked up pairing. Despite both involving witches, I'm not sure you could find two movies that have more opposite tones.
Review by Archduke_Adler ★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I saw the voo-doo doll ending of this movie back when I was a kid and I thought it was the most tense and awesome piece of cinema that 8 year old me had seen but I didn’t know what movie it was from until today. So mystery solved I guess.
I really don’t know what to make of this movie. Some of it is charming but a lot of it is also pretty barreling and hard to dissect what exactly they’re trying to say about conservative America and the relationship between men and women.
I respect how many of the rules of this movie go unspoken but at the same time I feel as though it’s just making shit up as it goes along.
Overall strange flick but probably won’t revisit anytime soon. didn’t think I had that much to say.

Review by jloganalexander ★★★

Was this a good movie? Not exactly. But am I going to say a movie with an orgy between Susan Sarandon, Cher, Michelle Pfiefer and Jack Nicholson is bad? Absolutely not
