Stepford Wives: The Stepford Wives: The dream becomes a nightmare....

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:45:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - As a student of history, one of the things that I've learned is that for every social or religious movement, there seems to be a semi-Newtonian counter-movement or opposite reaction. In the 15th Century, for instance, Martin Luther's attempt to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author captaind - After seeing and enjoying the 2004 version of The Stepford Wives, starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick, I began to wonder what the original was like. Having seen it I did enjoy it, though it is a very different type of film to its modern...

Stepford Wives: Practically perfect in every way – not Mary Poppins, it's The Stepford Wives (T&Aw/o)

Fri, 12 Aug 2005 20:42:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pearannoyed - I'd always heard about it. The perfect home. The perfect wife. The perfect family.... Maybe a little too perfect. It's been a term of derision for decades – being a "Stepford Wife." It's a symbol of everything the feminists were fighting against in...

Stepford Wives: Some 'improvement' needed

Sat, 17 Jul 2004 15:52:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kirstyw - Please note, this review reveals the ending of the movie. As well as reacting to the growth of new feminism in the mid-seventies, the Stepford Wives became a coined phrase for any figure of female domestic perfection. The book by Ira Levin was...

Stepford Wives: a failed working of a fantastic concept

Mon, 12 Jul 2004 13:45:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jsherry - A film by Bryan Forbes This film is the first “Stepford Wives” movie and is adapted from Ira Levin’s novel of the same name. The tone of this film is much different than the newer version. The new “Stepford Wives” is more of a comedy, but this...

Stepford Wives: The Original Stepford Wives... Oh, It's Creepy

Sat, 10 Jul 2004 03:43:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - If you're looking for a laughably good creep, 1975's The Stepford Wives is the film to pick up. I can't really say, thinking through it, how this film could quite be described as a classic. It is creepy. It is deep. It is funny and...

Stepford Wives: The Stepford Wives Is Like My Worst Nightmare

Fri, 4 Jun 2004 01:17:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drdevience - Spotless house? Make up everyday? Wearing dresses everywhere? Can you think of anything scarier than all that? Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm like the anti-wife. If things somehow accidently get too clean, I start buggin' out. This is why 1975's The...

Stepford Wives: The Original Stepford Wives -- Creepy as Hell, Dated, but Somehow Timely

Tue, 1 Jun 2004 21:21:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - We’re obsessed with image. Not just physical beauty, but image. The job we have, the car we drive, the house we live in…and our significant other. Are they really good enough for us? Wouldn’t they be a bit better if they took better care of us? If...

Stepford Wives: clever title and that's it

Sun, 23 May 2004 01:00:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author alanbweaver - How this movie got to achieve cult status over a nearly 30 year period is totally beyond me. It is a dull, bad movie without any sympathetic characterization to it. I never read the Ira Levin novel. My interest in the movie was peaked when I knew the...

Stepford Wives: Bring On The Fembots

Fri, 12 Mar 2004 08:51:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author waynio - I doubt that anyone three decades ago foresaw that the term "Stepford Wife" would become part of our vernacular. That says a lot, not just about the power of film, but about the very talented people behind "The Stepford Wives" (1975). Ironically this...

Stepford Wives: Still Thought-Provoking AND Creepy!

You can get it all in Stepford, Connecticut. If you are a man. If you are a woman; your days may be numbered.

I just saw this movie last night on AMC. Oh man, what a thrill! The last time I saw...

Stepford Wives: Step Forward for Stepford

Sun, 30 Jul 2000 22:12:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author swh2000 - Does it have quite the impact of either version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers?" Not quite, but "The Stepford Wives" establishes its own relevance while telling a similarly-themed story. This time, feminism is the...

Stepford Wives: If you hate your wife, you'll love this movie

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 05:05:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author halfsweet - Geesh, I had forgotten just how creepy a movie The Stepford Wives really is. I watched the old clunker on AMC tonight, and was surprised to discover it held up pretty well. Taken in the context of its time, it's even scarier.

Has there ever...

Stepford Wives: The Stepford Wives: Technophobia meets Feminism

Thu, 25 May 2000 17:42:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheAdvocate - Why feminists would have panned this movie’s release in 1975 is a complete mystery, as The Stepford Wives is transparent second-wave propaganda. The film was adapted from the novel by Ira Levin, who also wrote Rosemary’s Baby. In the first...
