Review of The Witches of Eastwick (1987) by Jon C — 07 Jan 2017

There's not really a lot going on in the beginning or the middle.

But at the climax all the dark magic makes its way.

There's definitely something about feminism and female empowerment here involving magic.

The three women: Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer have all been victims of getting screwed over by the male patriarchy in this town.

So they each feel like they deserve some kind of power.

For Jack Nicholson's character he mysteriously shows up, the townsfolk can barely remember his name, and he has a powerful influence over the female community.

Being nice and friendly is one thing yet courting all three of these women is another as he brings out their deadliest fears and desires.

Things get bad when the townsfolk besmirches them calling them corrupted souls and the three women now feel as if they can bring him down to earn back their respectability.

Being witches is a fun touch; the magic is silly if repulsive by both sides.

There's no perfect man or woman, both expect different things from one another, and it's difficult to have both live harmoniously when it comes to love, equality, and personality.

It's kinda funny and the climax is crazy.
