After enduring setbacks in her television career, executive Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman) relocates with her family from New York City to the Connecticut suburb of Stepford. While Joanna's husband, Walter (Matthew Broderick), quickly warms up to their new town, she has a hard time adjusting to Stepford's manicured environs and the overly accommodating attitude of the area women. Soon Joanna begins to suspect that something is not right, and she tries to uncover Stepford's secret.

Critics Consensus

In exchanging the chilling satire of the original into mindless camp, this remake has itself become Stepford-ized.

The fear of women's economic and social power also never went away, and the remake's attempt to distance itself from something that's neither vintage nor remote raises the question of what, exactly, we were meant to find relevant about it.

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.

Comedic remake of '70s horror movie has sex humor.

4/5

The subject of feminism is a juicy subject to pick apart here, and in retrospect, the audience is left with some questions.

The movie could only have worked as an overbaked parody, but director Frank Oz, despite some feinting towards an antic-gothic Tim Burton style, just doesn’t have his heart in it.

It is so awful. How I will watch long enough to possibly change my mind? Such an amazing cast. Baffling.

Thé script was hilarious, the acting superb and the message behind the story was thought provoking. Not sure why there's such a bad review, best film I've seen in a long while, it actually had me laughing out loud which doesn't usually happen. And what a cast!!

An interesting film. Casting/acting wasn't bad in this one. Slow start, but the plot will keep you interested, conclusion was pretty out there, and the twist was pretty out there as well. Not too bad though.

Bette Milder was funny but how would the husband even know how to program her or not? did not make sense.

I decided to watch this when it came on after a show I watched. After the first 45 minutes I turned it off. It was too bad to watch the whole thing. Maybe it was trying to be funny but Kidman was just abrasive. Broderick was an idiot and it stunk!
