The Witches of Eastwick is a 1987 American dark fantasy comedy film directed by George Miller and based on John Updike's 1984 novel of the same name. It stars Jack Nicholson alongside Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Veronica Cartwright.
The film follows three best friends who are unaware that they are witches and that their regular meetings have formed an informal coven; the arrival in town of a mysterious man who starts courting them marks the start of a back-and-forth between him and the three women.
The film was a box office success and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, especially from Nicholson, but criticized the story.
