This is one of those movies I should really rewatch before commenting on, but honestly, that will not be happening. It wasn't great when I saw it in the theater which was well before I'd seen the original. Matthew Broderick was in another movie I saw in the theater that came from a time when I would see terrible movies on dates. At least that one had Meg Ryan, the American Nicole Kidman.

Watchable waste of a great deal of talent, but when the talent is this good, it’s difficult to be completely dismissive; all of the performances are pretty much pitch-perfect, but stuck in a movie that has no idea what to do with them – toothless and obvious as satire, and not an especially funny comedy (though Bart’s delivery of “She’s fabulous!” is almost worth sticking around for). At its best with Kidman, Midler and Bart indulging in FIRST WIVES-style shenanigans, but overall a damp squib.

The original film is a classic of horror and to be honest, it totally creeped me out. So, with a cast like Kidman, Walken, Broderick and Close, I was expecting something decent. This remake is literally a joke and more of a parody of the original than anything else. There is nothing particularly subtle about the humor and the horror is all but gone. Not worth anyone's time, not even for a laugh.

One of the worst movies ever made, the continuity errors from scene to scene are astounding and abundant. The plot is erratic and poorly thought through. The visual effects are bafflingly abysmal, as if they ran over budget and had to made do with a $10 VFX dog. I think it was supposed to look like an actual dog, not the monstrosity they ignore having. From the disappearing children (WHEN did they go to camp?), to the overdone performance by everyone involved, this is a nightmare to watch.

Nicole Kidman is miscast here, as she is so plastic surgeried she already appears to be a robot when she first arrives in Stepford. I avoided the original for a long time, then found it to be a brilliantly entertaining straight faced comedy. The remake, on the other hand, is itself the film equivalent of a Stepford Wife.

This is a logic free zone so be prepared to leave your brain behind. While the original film was sort of creepy this one has a dog that was kidnapped and changed into a robot that looks like a robot and women that look like women but are really robots. Or they were but now they're not because magic happy ending. Confused? Get in line. Also if the creators wanted us to believe in their story, even a little, they shouldn't have cast Broderick as a human. We all know that's not real.

One of the few times in history when the remake exceeded the original (IMO obviously). Sure it's campy, suburban sci-fi but at least it saw the comedic potential of the story and didn't try to make another "Rosemary's Baby"-type paranoid femi-drama where the central character is the only one not in on it.

This is a lifeless piece of trash and a huge insult to the original film adaptation, which handled the clever comment on the extremes of patriarchal society with genuine creepiness. Which idiot decided to rewrite that message into a comedy? Now THAT decision in itself is creepy and begs the question, are we going backwards or becoming stupider as a movie audience? If this kind of trash is acceptable then we surely must be.

I expected this to really be bad but was pleasantly surprised. It's not nearly as shallow as it would seem; it actually had some real substance to it. Serious social commentary can be found if you pay attention. No, it's no Citizen Kane, and if you're a male chauvanist you aren't going to like this at all, but it's not the dreck other reviewers have made it out to be.
