Movie propaganda
The wives of Stepford have a secret.
Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman) and her husband (Matthew Broderick) move to the beautiful upper-class suburb of Stepford, where she soon starts to suspect something is strange and artificial about her new female neighbours. The wives living in the houses around them all seem to be too perfect, with bland, character-less personalities. As Joanna investigates her neighbours further, she discovers that there is indeed something artificial about them, something... robotic. Will Joanna be the next one replaced by a perfect robotic clone?

Theatrical report
Uh, yeah...
The Stepford wives is, on the one hand, a film about the evils of gender/sexual stereotyping under patriarchy (which makes it a feminist text) and, on the other hand, a Hollywood remake with hot young stars of a minor 70s film (which makes it a capitalist text). Make of that what you will, but silk purses and porcine pinna come to mind.
This version for the new millennium is very retro but has been updated to include a funny gay character.
Our Nicole™ is really skinny.
