Stepfordlife Good Lord! The only reason to watch this is possibly Sharon Gless. And if you haven't seen the 1975 original (which was even better than the book)…possibly this would have been a mildly entertaining movie. But for the true Stepford fan it's just so damn frustrating to watch. The 1987 "Stepford Children" while still a bit silly was a truer sequel in keeping with the original plot. I'm not sure how they could have called this one a sequel. Stepford really never got it's due in the sequel or remake departments (including the confusingly edited and equally frustrating 2004 version). I was so excited to see that one but the editors took so much out and even had the nerve to tease us with a trailer which was full of "cut-outs"…See the 1975 version.

triple8 WARNING:SPOILERS THROUGHOUT!This WOULD have been great-had the movie followed the premise of the first stepford wives. It's fun to watch the nast stepford men get their due-at last!-but trouble is-if you've seen the first one-this doesn't make any sense-it's as if the writers forgot there evr was an original stepford wives! You can't take the original premise of a classic,make a sequel and just change the whole sequence of events of the first one-it's laughable, ridiculous and and just plain crazy! I am sure the writers could have come up with a plausible way to make a sequel in keeping with Stepfords' original ending-plus wouldn't it have been nice to have Joane and Bobbie back? If I could say what would have been the BEST it would have been to pick up the story with the THERAPIST Joane originally saw as the main character, maybe trying to contact her and realizing Joane was telling the truth-there IS something wrong in stepford.The therapist(can't remember her name)could then go on a quest to find out what's going on in stepford.I see this SO MUCH with sequels not living up to the original. But this was just a joke-while it WAS nice the way the movie ended who could take it seriously knowing it has almost nothing to do with the original? To bad too, this could have been great.

Itsamoomoo So here I am changing the channels on my expanded all digital channel line-up late one night, and I find the lovely Sharon Gless trying to escape being knifed by Julie "Marge Simpson" Kavner in total late 70's fashion, AND I LOVE IT! Just when it couldn't get any better, in walks Don Johnson and Audra "Mrs. Roper" Lindley (who deserved that Oscar nomination for "Desert Hearts" years back) and I am on the floor!! This movie has got to be the latest undiscovered "gem" in the last 25 years! Who cares how bad the story is. This is CLASSIC!!!

toddy-3 Maybe if I had never seen the original or read the book, I might have been mildly amused, but I doubt it. The fact is the husbands were killing their wives and replacing them with robots. An idea scarier today than it may have been then because it seems more possible that it could happen in the near future. But this movie's premise that the wives are servants because once a day when a big horn sounds, they all drop everything and take a pill is pretty stupid. If I were Ira Levin, I would've sued.
