love the original ... fucking hate the remake and what makes me hate the remake even more bette midler is int it ..
what makes me love this version tina(ginger from gilligan island) louise is in it and she is hot
I saw the remake before i saw the original, and i must say the original is much much better. And Tina Louise was in it! sweet!
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Stepford Wives" !
