A couple moves to Stepford, Connecticut, after the wife has a nervous breakdown after she was fired from her job,as a man tried to kill her and killed his wife and all her s*x partners involved in a show she created.

 

Everything seems too perfect in Stepford, the wives are all beautiful,blonde and stupid,care about ridiculous things,are almost slaves to their nerdy, unattractive husbands.

 

Joanna,the lead, befriends two funny characters who soon after, turn into the same brainwashed creatures that walk at the arm of the Stepford men.

 

The acting was top notch,Nicole Kidman and Glenn Close are always a win. The movie was funny. The place heavenly,the women's attire classy and beautiful.

 

What I didn’t like—they couldn’t decide if they are robots or just brainwashed. The whole movie they kept on saying they were robots,we even have a scene with a woman placing a card in her mouth and getting out 20 dollars in one dollar bills - that’s a robot ! ;

Bobbie puts her hand on the fire and can’t feel it, there’s also a deleted scene with her in which her finger turns into a mixer.

 

The movie is streaming on DirecTv, HBO Max, HBO Now, and is for rent or sale on Amazon, AMC on Demand, Apple, Google Play, Vudu, YouTube.

 

Rating : Could have been a contender !
