Funny Comedy, With Some Good Moments
21 April 2005
Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman) is a successful woman, presenting a famous show in television. However, after an incident in her show, she is fired and has a nervous breakdown. Her husband Walter Kresby (Matthew Broderick) decides to move with their children and her to Stepford, Connecticut, Massachussets, to a private and fancy compound. The place is wonderful, and the women are very beautiful and perfect housewives, and after a short period living there, Joanna discloses the truth behind such perfection. "The Stepford Wives" is a funny comedy, having a magnificent cast and some good moments. There are many good lines, like for example, when one woman has a "problem" in a party and somebody says: "-She is drunk."; and Bette Midler's character immediately says: "-She is blonde". Or when one of the designers mentions that he worked at AOL, and Joanna says: "-Is that why the women are so slow?". Unfortunately, I have never watched the original adaptation of Ira Levin's book mentioned in many reviews, but anyway I found this 2004 version a good entertainment. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Mulheres Perfeitas" ("Perfect Women")
