Title: Mis-Stepford
Review: What a mess this film is. I was surprised when I saw it how disjointed the script was and the direction. Unable to decide if it is a parody or drama, the movie misteps scene by scene. The tension never really builds because you never feel anyone is in real danger. The movie tries to be silly and still say something about feminism and the battle of the sexes. The movie has little to say on anything real or worthwile. Nicole Kidman looks lost and stuggling to maintain her footing in this movie. Matthew Broderick comes of strangely flat, like a Stepford Husband. The behind the scenes fights, re-writes and cuts really shows on the film. Frank Oz is a weak and tepid director who seems to not know how to marshall his talent or how to tell a coherent story.
