Sometimes, improvements aren't always necessary whether that be for romantic partners or for a film. Full Review

There just aren't enough laughs to distract from the vast fault-lines in the story Full Review

[A] barbed comedy, with lots of zingers in the dialogue...

Well proportioned, sparkling to look at and vacuously entertaining, it's the perfect Stepford makeover.

That razor edge is completely gone from the remake of The Stepford Wives. It's a comedy and no one gets really hurt. Full Review

It glides by on the notion that there is little that is still frightening about being an American woman. I wish I could say it was a premise whose time had come. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- As comedies go, it's actually fairly funny, albeit in a light, superficial way which either hides or exposes the fact that the plot is a thick tangle of mutual contradictions.

Product Description:

Based on a book by Ira Levin which satirizes the roles of 1950s housewives, this is a remake of the 1975 film adaptation. Director Frank Oz presents a dramatic reworking of the horror classic, putting a totally over-the-top slant on the story that gives it true comedic value. In the early 21st century, a fast-paced Manhattan couple, Joanna (Nicole Kidman) and Walter (Matthew Broderick), both work for a major television network. While she is a leader and breadwinner in producing reality shows, he is a mere middle-management type. So when Joanna has a nervous breakdown, and Walter takes command, he's happy to find that for once in his life she's not stealing his fire. This sentiment is only asserted by the boys club that welcomes him when they move to the "perfect" town of Stepford, Connecticut. There, the women have been transformed by their husbands into a totally submissive, near-robotic state in which they are blissfully happy doing housework and looking pretty, and are totally compliant to their men. With Claire (Glenn Close) and Mike (Christopher Walken) leading this web of weirdness, Joanna and her only normal friend, Bobbie (Bette Midler), race to solve the mystery before they too become Stepford Wives.
