The Stepford Wives

Ok actually??? I feel like this aged like wine. I can see why it bombed at the time, but this is SO campy, it’s perfect for a modern audience. I enjoyed it more than Don’t Worry Darling or Barbie, both of which play with similar themes. And I feel like it captures the satirical nature of the original book so well!

so the movie was a little bit of comedy and little bit of social critical. Is not the best movie, i think have issues in the script what makes the history confusing and the messenge weak. But it does make you think, the outifts are beautifull, the cast amazing. Even if the main character don't be so carismatic her friends and husband are. And I think she be like this is a part of the messenge, she diserves to be loved because the way she are and don't have to be perfect. I like the film, is a good feminist movie beacuse shows that the womens want freedom, independence but the also want romance and their marriage.

Is there even such a thing as a gay republican???

It goes for comedy and not to be creepy, like the original. A lot of it is actually funny though with some clever lines.

Not hilariously funny although it has some really good on-liners. It's juggling between comedy and social satire. I have neither seen the original movie nor read the book. The look of the movie is really good, though. Great sets and wardrobe.

In the end the movie is neither fish nor flesh. Not funny enough for a good comedy but at the same time not critical enough to be a serious satire.

[spoiler] One thing I didn't get - are the wifes robots or not ? If they are what happened to the flesh and bone ones ? The story is a bit confusing regarding that. [/spoiler]

Loved the cast and campy dark comedy tone, too bad that it completely stops making sense in less than one hour. I don’t mind remakes being different from the original, but this time it just felt like a lazy attempt to change it into a happy ending last minute. Just about every scene contradicts the previous one to the point you will stop caring.

The 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives is an awful, all-around corny cinematic misstep. It's baffling to imagine who had the hair-brained idea to transform a chilling, satirical cult classic into such an unfunny, goofy camp movie.

Probably second best utopian piece of art, right after Handmaid's Tale.
Unfortunately,, there's no [spoiler] happy ending [/spoiler].

I rate it "It may not be the world we want, but it's the world we deserve" out of ten.
