Wordiezett So much average

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

gavin6942 Three single women in a picturesque village have their wishes granted - at a cost - when a mysterious and flamboyant man (Jack Nicholson) arrives in their lives.So, the role Jack Nicholson plays originally was intended for Bill Murray? That is a mind-blower. Nicholson is creepy, dirty, lewd... he always has that edge of crazy. Dangerous crazy. Murray can be crazy, but silly crazy... I cannot see him being the dirty old man so much as the funny overseer. It would be a completely different tone.Great film, though... definitely worth seeing, and a great demonstration of Cher as an actress. She seemed to only have a few years to a decade of being in big movies, but she did those well.

OllieSuave-007 Dumped by their husbands, Alex (Cher), Jane (Susan Sarandon), and Suki (Michelle Pfeiffer) are three New England friends who conjure up a the perfect man for themselves. Soon, wealthy and mysterious man Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) moves into town and seem to satisfy their desires. He seduces them one by one and ultimately begins an affair with each one, but bewitching activities soon follow.This movie has an interesting script and story that basically delves into the mystery and nefarious activities of witchcraft, which are comically and dramatically depicted in this film. Nicholson gave a outrageously crude-mouthed and wicked performance as Daryl, and Cher, Sarandon and Pfeiffer each did a pretty good job in their respective roles. There is a good amount of mystery in the movie to keep it suspenseful and a good amount of horror to keep it frightening at times, but entertaining (the cherry throw-up scene has always been a bit disturbing for me). The entire atmosphere and setting of the movie reminds you of a Salem era - perfect for a witches-themed film.Overall, the movie's not a masterpiece, considering some of the overly used crude elements and the diabolical aspects of the film. But it's still good, fictional fun.Grade B-

David I honestly believe I have a sense of humour. I have been known on a few rare occasions to laugh out loud spontaneously in a public place while reading humorous literature. Do you have to be American to find this funny? I love John Updike and I am prepared to believe there is a dark enjoyable novel behind this film. But it has been turned into a humourless, grotesque film. Nicholson has made a raft of poor films offset by some of the finest performances of any actor. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and As Good As It Gets outweigh any number of duds. Polansky extracted a wonderful performance in Chinatown. But wide-eyed wildness does not make humour. The set pieces are just embarrassing most especially the pink balloons and the tea trolley. I have to be honest the 80s hairstyles really do not help.

cjprice139 i never thought that i would like this movie but its great first the acting was amazing but jack really steels the show he was funny as heck he made you hate him but at the same time you charming the rest where great to its not for kids its really mature and for the problem i had with the movie it is sort of off at parts so off its wired to watch the movie it was made by George miller who made mad max and surprisingly happy feet so he did a great job the special effects where OK at parts its the 90s so that gets a pass the music was wired as while it doesit feel like john Williams did the score for this it sounds a bit to magical but over all its a great time
