CGiii Comment

This really does scream mediocrity and it shouldn't have been - not with the huge names involved.

The Mad Max director - he who is happy with pigs and penguins - seems to give up halfway through the project.

The costumes and hairstyles are a ridiculous eyesore.

The SFX are distinctly substandard.

Seriously, it's like watching Nicholson in The Shining all over again.

Take a grip Mr Miller. Simply, not good enough.

The(ir) Blurb...

All three previously married but now single, best friends sculptress Alex Medford, cellist Jane Spofford and writer Sukie Ridgemont are feeling emotionally and sexually repressed, in large part due to the traditional mores overriding their small New England coastal town of Eastwick. After their latest conversation lamenting about the lack of suitable men in Eastwick and describing the qualities they are looking for in a man, mysterious Daryl Van Horne and his equally mysterious butler Fidel arrive in town. Despite being vulgar, crude, brazen and not particularly handsome, Daryl manages to be able to tap into the innermost emotions of the three friends, and as such manages to seduce each. In turn, the three women blossom emotionally and sexually. After an incident involving one of the town's leading citizens, the ultra conservative Felicia Alden, the three women begin to understand how and why Daryl is able to mesmerize them so fully. The three decide to experiment with some powers learned indirectly from Daryl so that they can hopefully regain control of their own lives.
