Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Jack Nicholson was born to play the devil and in George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's novel he plays it for all he's worth. As a wolfish womaniser summoned by three bored women in a picturesque New England town, he's sating all of his appetites with a rakish grin. Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer play the women who discover their untapped magical powers by accident. The smart and sexy singles, out of place in the conservatism of their village, find happiness, however briefly, in the arms and bed of the libidinous devil but he's got his own ulterior motives. Miller revels in the sensual display of sex, food and magic, whipping up a storm of effects that finally get out of hand in an overblown ending. It's a handsome film with strong performances all around but the mix of anarchic comedy and supernatural horror doesn't always gel and Miller seems to lose the plot in his zeal for cinematic excitement. The performances ultimately keep the film aloft: the hedonistic joy that Nicholson celebrates with every leering gaze and boorish vulgarity is almost enough to make bad form and chauvinism cool. --Sean Axmaker




Rating: - Superb film - shame about the DVD quality.
There are plenty of customer reviews of this superb film already - wonderful acting by all the cast; great directing and a deft adaptation, though it takes liberties with Updike's novel. An absolute classic which is great fun to watch again and again.

My gripe, here, is with the print of the Warner Home Video DVD. Poor picture quality, particularly in the first half hour, is a huge disappointment. And the sound is not that good, either. The age of the film is no excuse. I watched, ... Read More

Rating: - Pfeiifer, Sarandon and Cher combine to make an explosive trio
Three renowned Americans star as the "witches", Cher, Pfeiffer and Sarandon. All perform well in an enjoyable strange story as they all one night recap their lives and wish for them to be turned around, that's when Van Horne, played brilliantly by Nicholson (One flew over the cuckoo's nest, as good as it gets) arrives in their home town.

The story is exaggerated and unrealistic at points but regardless it is an engaging plot. You are always wondering what is happening and why, its strange ... Read More

Rating: - Shame...

You would have thought with such a great cast, it would be a good film. No such luck. I have to say that Jack Nicholson is the most vulgar and annoying men I have ever seen! I cannot stand him, and I think that is what I don't like about the film as the three lead actresses are superb. But I love the fact that the kids at the end all have co-ordinated hair colours!

Prob worth a watch but not a buy.

Rating: - Unmissable!!
I must have watched this film a hundred times and I still love it!

The cast is superb and everyone suits their parts so well, but you have to take your hat off to Jack Nicholson as "The Devil", as someone else said, he was born to play the part!!

Rating: - A colourful, fun, and lighthearted film
Whilst the effects in this film are a little dated now, it is still very enjoyable and the cast (including Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Cher) really give a tremendous amount to the performance, including a well-fitted and well-played performance by Jack Nicholson as the devil.

This is a great film for a girly night in, I highly recommend it!!
