The youngest president in the history of the EBS television network, Joanna Eberhart (
Nicole Kidman) also has an attentive husband and two beautiful children. But one catastrophic day it all comes crashing down around her. Fired from her job, Joanna and her husband Walter (
Matthew Broderick) pack up the family and make a fresh start in the idyllic paradise of Stepford, Connecticut.
But something strange is happening in the quaint little town, and Joanna is suspicious. So is Bobbie Markowitz (
Bette Midler), who recently moved to town with her irascible husband Dave (
Jon Lovitz). Roger Bannister, who came to Stepford hoping to save his rocky relationship with his conservative partner Jerry, is wondering what's going on, too.
It's the wives. They're all beautiful, happy and creative. They can bake a cake, paint the house, mow the lawn, play with the kids and still greet their husbands in lacy lingerie at the end of a busy day. Joanna grows uneasy. On the other hand, Walter couldn't be happier. "This town, and the house, and this place - it's like a dream," enthuses Walter.
Until Joanna Eberhart gets in the way.
A good idea, but not done well. Actually, terribly done!!! But still entertaining.
This movie was not very good. Funny at times, but the end did not make sense at all. I thought they were supposed to be robots! What was that all about? Now that I think about it, this movie was very bad. If you want to watch it because you think the first one was good, this one is nothing like it.
NOTE TO PEOPLE: this movie is not a thiller! i am getting really mad with the way people are not enjoying the movie because they thought they were going to see a scary movie, but they saw a comedy instead with a couple of freaky parts. this movie is a comedy! it is not a thiller, as blockbuster.ca states it as. if you watch the movie, knowing it is supposed to be a comedy, it is much better. overall, a pretty good movie, with funny jokes and a pretty good plot line!
