The Witches of Eastwick (1987)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 5/11

5/11: Sometimes, the nostalgia isn't worth it.

I remember seeing The Witches of Eastwick way back in the late 80's and then a couple of times during the 90's, but each time I did, it never appealed me. For a while, I had wondered why, so I decided to try again. Now, I can see what's so bad. It's the mumbo-jumbo storyline that has no connection to reality which made it an unbearable film to watch.

Jack Nicholson playing a sex-crazed character is nauseating. Then, to add three annoying actresses (Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer) into the mix is like pouring salt on the wound. Finally, the inexplicable inclusion of a crazy bug-eyed female character with the ability to curse out everybody and throw up incessantly is the final nail in the coffin.

All in all, The Witches of Eastwick is pure dreck.
