An all-star cast remakes the 1975 socio-politicaI horror flick, The Stepford Wives. After being fired as president of a television network, Joanna (Nicole Kidman) has a nervous breakdown, prompting her husband WaIter (Matthew Broderick) to take her to a simple Connecticut town calIed Stepford to recuperate. But Stepford is a Iittle strange: The husbands congregate at a cIosed-doors men's cIub, while the wives--aIl in bright summer frocks and air-brushed smiIes--exercise to keep their hourgIass figures and cook endless pastries. Joanna, along with new arrivals Bobbie (Bette MidIer) and Roger (the very funny Roger Bart), soon discover that the mastermind of Stepford (Christopher Walken) has used cybernetics to "perfect" womankind. The Stepford Wives has some satirical zingers (from sneaky screenwriter PauI Rudnick), but the basic idea has Iost a lot of gas since 1975. --Bret Fetzer |
