The Stepford Wives (2004, DVD)

Movie 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.

"[A] barbed comedy, with lots of zingers in the dialogue..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (11/05/2004)

    I watched it on Movie And A Makeover and came to eBay and bought a copy. It was great. I am a fan of the original movie and just as much. I don't ever expect the same thing in a sequel. The deleted scenes were super. This is very different from the original but I feel in a good way. Updated and has a terrific cast. People are correct in saying there was good reasons it didn't win an awards but that doesn't mean it isn't a basic good movie.

    dvd did not work. it was a copy even though his ad made it seem like it was used like new. The start up would start and say "this is a copy for personal use only" then the movie would stop in the middle. Very unsatisfied false advertising
