When I first saw that Cher was staring in this I was curious about it, granted I was only a teenager, but a movie about withes, with three leading ladies and a leading man, I was interested. Sometimes when too many movie stars are in one movie it doesn't work or it comes off too forced, but this one didn't. I love Cher's natural line delivery and it worked well for the character. Michelle Pfeiffer is anything but a shrinking violet, but she did that character well and even came of motherly and compassionate as her character was supposed to. Susan Sarandon did a 180 and went from prude to vixen and convincingly so. Jack Nicolson was magnificent, nothing more needs to be said.

The writing was interesting, the story was interesting, the setting was interesting and every time I have watched this movie since I have been captivated from beginning to end. Three friends are hanging out, a stranger comes into town and seduces them and unlocks some sort of magic in the air. A woman picks up on it, goes crazy and tries to warn everyone, all while breaking bones and puking cherry pits (an iconic scene occurs in the church and I've worked diligently over the year to memorize and recite the whole thing...I find it difficult not to recite when I'm in church with pews.) The friends try and get rid of him but it proves difficult.

See this movie, you may think it's stupid, and maybe it is, but it's a fun kind of stupid you'll want to watch again and again.

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")
