Joanna (Kidman) and her husband (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 neighbors. The wives living in the houses around them all seem to be too perfect, with bland, character-less personalities. Everyone that is, except her new friend Bobbie (Midler), who as a cranky, sarcastic, non-exercising alcoholic still has some semblance of personality and independence. As Joanna and Bobbie investigate their neighbors further, they discover that there is indeed something artificial about them, something... robotic, the result of the husbands banding together to replace their human wives with cyborg copies who are subservient, sexually compliant and devoid of any distinguishing character traits. Will Joanna and Bobbie be the next ones replaced by perfect robotic clones? (Roger Bart plays a gay confidante of Kidman's character who ends up getting "straightened out"; Walken and Close play a couple; Lovitz plays Midler's husband)

April 20, 2004: Stepford, Robot posters:
Just as they did with their campy original trailer, the makers of Will
Smith's I, ROBOT
have trimmed the fat out of the latest poster for the film. Less can go a long
way and I think it works wonders here. I for one, want to see a serious Will
Smith...
April 8, 2004: Stepford trailer...:
The latest trailer for this summer's THE STEPFORD WIVES is online and unfortunately, it's just not much of anything. If the movie is trying to be funny, it's not very funny. It it's trying to be scary or suspenseful, it's not doing that either. It also seems to...
