Pros: Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler. Interesting plot.
Cons: A few things didn't make sense.
I have liked Nicole Kidman for years. I have seen many of her movies and enjoyed them. I tend see her new movies as soon as I can. Some of them don’t make it to the theater here in town, so I am forced to wait to rent them. I heard that she was ...

Pros: Cast, story, twists
Cons: If you're a fan of the original, don't get bent at the false ending..
I am a major fan of the original S
tepford
Wives which came out in 1975. It was creepy as hell. All those normal women being turned into the Beav's Mom... only like times 10. So when I heard there was going to be a ...

Pros: Good fun and some great performances (esp. Close and Walken)...
Cons: ... but plot flaws let it down.
I’ve never seen the original Stepford Wives, but I knew the basic story – in a town called Stepford, the wives appears just too perfect… something funny must be going on… [EDIT] I have now seen the original - ...

Pros: A fun rehash of the 1975 version
Cons: If you go to be scared, you won't be.
Welcome to Stepford! The super perfect community found in the Suburbs of Connecticut. The only problem in this community is that it is too perfect and with only one half of the population aware of what that perfection has cost the women that live ...

Pros: Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler.
Cons: Christopher Walken got on my nerves.
I never saw the original Stepford Wives and aside from the trailers I've seen in the theater, I really haven't been in the loop about this remake. There's only one reason I saw it - Nicole Kidman. The story goes like this. Joanna ...

Pros: Fine cast, some funny lines
Cons: Script seems pieced together and not true to original story
When I first heard about a "remake" of "The Stepford Wives" and saw who was in the movie, the concept excited me. I've been thinking about remakes that I like. Hmm. I've been thinking and I can only come up with a few. The second "The Thing" wasn't ...

Pros: Bette Middler, Roger Bart, funny moments
Cons: some logic problems, Broderick seems lost, not scathing enough
Although Frank Oz’s remake of the 1975 Stepford Wives film is set in the present day, the setting and tone are confused as he transforms the thriller into a dark comedy. Some thirty years later, many men still feel threatened by powerful career ...

Pros: A modernized remake of a classic film
Cons: Too silly; not believable
Sometimes we all wish for perfection. It's easy, when things aren't going well, to assume that everything would be better, if only.... Unfortunately, no matter how you end that sentence, whatever the change is, perfection would still be elusive. ...

Pros: Competent all around, completely unpretentious
Cons: For what it is, none
"The Stepford Wives" wastes no time in setting up its characters, its premise, its style of humor. The end result is an abrupt, smart comedy which, if not quite as immediately relevant as its original might have been, is still caustic and delightful. ...

Pros: Lots of funny dialogue.
Cons: Stereotypical characters and a long, drawn-out ending.
First off, The Stepford Wives isn’t as awful as you might think. In fact, it's quite watchable for most of its hour and forty-five minute running length. On the downside, it isn't as good as it could be either. For a good part of its time onscreen ...

Pros: Superb acting, first rate cast, great twist at the end
Cons: Some inconsistencies
When I first heard there was a new remake of the cult classic Stepford Wives, I figured it'd be the same ol' same ol'. Boy, was I wrong! I will warn you now, I'm going to do my best NOT to spoil the ending for you however, I may fail... keep that in ...

Pros: Nicole Kidman
Cons: Revelations in the last few reels
Some actors / actresses can sell a movie themselves. If I think someone is a brilliant actor, I’ll make a point of seeing as many of their movies as I can. Nicole Kidman is one such actress. She stars here in "The Stepford Wives", a ...

Pros: Humor; Midler.
Cons: Ending; direction, some performances.
My r
eview
of the 1975 original version of “The Stepford Wives” had me finding the movie quite creepy and unsettling, also having a very good sense of dark humor in the meantime. This new 2004 version is not like that ...

Pros: Ehrm...
Cons: Story, script, characters, performances.
I’ll warn you right off: go rent the original 1975 version of ‘The Stepford Wives’ directed by Briton Bryan Forbes instead of this new and unimproved update from 2004. Once again, Hollywood gifts us with a bloated disaster of Titanic ...

by blade_runner83 , Feb 02 '05
Pros: Glenn Close seems to revel in her role. Good opening
Cons: Flat acting, sloppy direction, safe script, little humour.
In retrospect, 2001 and 2002 could be considered the apex of Australian actress Nicole Kidman’s career. Fresh off her tumultuous divorce from actor Tom Cruise, the newly single Kidman put in staggering performances in two of 2001’s most ...
