Just saw the new Stepford Wives |
|
And for those who've seen the original, don't bother with this one. Not nearly as dark or disturbing as its predecessor.

4. They couldn't make up their mind |
|
If they wanted it to be dark, a comedy, or a dark comedy. The final result was that it ended up being none of the above.

2. I can't believe they tried to make a comedy of it |
|
They could have made a really dark creepy movie, and they just blew it by the looks of it.

5. She only had a couple of lines in the whole movie |
|
She was mostly just eye candy, a part she played very well.

6. I've heard nothing but negative reviews, thus far. |
|
From friends and critics alike. Sounds like a good reason for a summer picnic in the park, with a good book and/or friend.

7. I read tepid reviews that agree with your analysis |
|
One thing I notice in the previews...Glenn Close looks just like the happy wife of that guy in the TV commercials who decides to do something about male enhancement.

8. That's the Impression I Got From the Trailer |
|
I saw in an article somewhere, the director refer to the original as a comedy. I just went, 'huh?'

9. I did think the "Log Cabin Republican" bit was pretty funny, though ... |
|
The little elephant pin Glenn Close's character was wearing cracked me up.
