Hugely adapted for screen of loosely based on the novel by Ira Levin...

What was this? Frank Oz transforms the Stepford Wives into a light-hearted and colorful comedy whose plot is so transparent that the 'mystery' can no longer be called a mystery.

You could call it a modern adaptation for the housewives audience. A nice joke here and there, and then the irritation limit of non-fun is reached. Low points of this version are the introduction of a gay couple in Stepford and of course the happy ending. Incomprehensible and astonishing.

2 stars for the entertainment factor and the colors, that Ira Levin has given permission for this...(lack of money?).

Mediocre film in which a recently fired television woman moves with her family to a perfect neighborhood. Unlike the original, this film is a bit more comical. And that in itself could have turned out well. Unfortunately it seems a bit messy (here and there seem to be missing some scenes). The whole decoration is fine and the casting is also good. There could have been more to this.
