This raunchy metaphor for the battle between the sexes from Mad Max director George Miller soars with inspired lunacy as three romance-starved suburban women dabble in off-white magic for some offbeat chandelier swinging. While Jack Nicholson dominates this spellbinding adaptation of John Updike's ironic bestseller as the horny little devil, the luminous female talent (Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer) almost matches him in a charming sensual fantasy that's slightly overloaded with needless special effects.

"...A brilliantly conceived metaphor for the battle between the sexes....Vilmos Zsigmond's photography creates a deeply saturated, supra-real environment where anything can happen and does..."

not worth your time
this is a very weird film. Not particularly scary, funny or interesting, I failed to see the metaphor between the battle of the sexes, also not made believable by 3 beautiful ladies all falling for Jack Nicholson!!!
if you are very bored you might want to give it a try, otherwise give it a miss. I can't even see where the title came from, the 'witches' didn't really do much all - could've been called 'the devil comes to eastwick' just as easily, although Nicholson wasn't even very devilish, more like a spoilt kid that wants his own way.
Wouldn''t recommend. -
