Our suggestions
After moving with her family to the community of Stepford, Connecticut, former New York television executive Joanna Eberhart is beginning to realize that Stepford is a little too perfect. All of the wives are far too perfect, and all of the husbands are way too happy. This comedic thriller is a re-imagining of the 1975 suspense classic. Welcome to Stepford - the American way of love.
"A remake of 'The War Between the Tates', from 1975, based on the book 'The Stepford Wives', a classic by Ira Levin. This new version features Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler and Glenn Close in the lead roles. 'The Stepford Wives' critiques patriarchal society by showing what a world with perfect wives - robotic ones - who do whatever their husbands want would be like. Furthermore, it's a production that doesn't limit itself to this and brings up important questions about feminism, and the LGBT cause. With a lot of humor, the movie makes a caricature of machismo and works as a cold bucket of water for those who still defend the patriarchal model."
