November 13, 2009the acting and style and music of the movie really drew me in. its a fun movie, not bad at all
-
April 3, 2009An ok film with a great cast full of acting talent....but the story is just too predictable and a bit of a let down considering the acting talent on show here.
-
January 17, 2009Meh, it was okay. The ending was so hokey and the special effects were terrible.
-
December 18, 2008Ok, I had been warned off before watching, but I had to watch it, it was in an Ebay job lot that I?d bought. Despite some good Actors among the cast, it?s not a great film, in fact it?s quite a silly one, but I have to say as ridiculous as it was, I didn?t actually get bored wat...( read more)

March 11, 2008If you're not a huge Kidman fan, you don't have to regret skipping this one.

November 20, 2009Aside from a decent cast, this is a train wreck of a film. It is completely unmemorable and has little meaning aside from cheap laughs. It attempts to be a comedy, a horrible decision on the film maker's part. It could've been a decent remake, but it just became a failure.

November 17, 2009Some one once told me that any movie with Walken in it is automatically a 6/10... In this case they are correct, but its Kidman who shines light on this remake
-
November 10, 2009Two stars based on the performances of Kidman, Broderick, and Midler. But honestly the script is not much to work with.

November 9, 2009This remake of the 1975 original received a lot less credit than it deserved, mostly on account of it being so thoroughly odd. That is on account of the story though, as the story itself is decidedly odd. Steady performances from Kidman and Broderick keep the movie alive, and sup...( read more)

A great Provincetown drag show of The Stepford Wives. full review
June 11, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rudnick and director Frank Oz don't do anything radical with the original premise ... but they choose comedy over horror, and it's a wise decision. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
It is essentially a Stepford movie: A pretty clone with its brains removed, lurching about robotically and reciting predictable inanities. full review
June 10, 2004
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Frank Oz's madcap remake turns a dusty, second-rate thriller from 1975 into a loud and shiny postmodern farce. full review
April 19, 2004
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Substituting horror for hilarity, this satiric jumble of half-baked social commentary and hit-or-miss jokes is an exercise in meta self-consciousness. full review
