Critics Consensus: While devotees of John Updike's novel may want to put a hex on George Miller's cartoonish and effects-laden adaptation, Jack Nicholson lends enough decadent devilry to make this high-concept comedy sizzle.

Pauline Kael

Even at its trashiest the movie keeps bumping along.

George Miller, who directed the Mad Max trilogy, has made The Witches of Eastwick a provocative movie, decidedly unwholesome without being cynical, when so many movies today are either sentimental, or cynical in a transparently sentimental way.

All in all, a polished and witty bit of male sexual panic.

Nicholson doesn't need special effects; he is one himself. Yet on balance, the film is mostly an outrageous, foul-mouthed good time.

Jack Nicholson plays “Just your average horny little devil” in The Witches of Eastwick, an entertaining, albeit uneven, conjuring from Warner Bros. that will likely cast a strong spell at the box office.
