The Stepford Wives was originally filmed back in 1975, starring Nanette Newman of washing up liquid advert fame! However, where this earlier effort interpreted Ira Levin's novel as a thriller, this remake goes for laughs, fashioning a cutting and clever comedy for all to enjoy.

Featuring a stunning cast including Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler, Christopher Walken, Glenn Close, Roger Bart and Faith Hill; The Stepford Wives tells the story of Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman), a successful New York TV Station President who moves to Stepford, Connecticut with her weak willed husband Walter (who else but Matthew Broderick?) after a breakdown.

Initially she loves the idyllic little town, but soon she suspects that the unshakeable bliss of the female residents is just too good to be true. Teaming up with a pair of equally-bemused newcomers - slobby writer Bobbi (Midler) and gay architect Roger (Bart) - Joanna discovers what has happened to the Stepford wives, and realises that she herself may be next...

A sophisticated and comic re-imagining of the 1970s classic, The Stepford Wives is as funny as its predecessor was dark. Highly recommended to rent!
