Storyline

In this sequel to The Stepford Wives, Steven and Laura Harding (along with their kids David and Mary) have moved to the quiet community of Stepford, CT. Steven joins the men's club, which is still assimilating their wives into robots. This time, they have begun to turn their out of control teens into robots as well. Once they are assimilated, they are obedient, homework loving, big band dancing droids. Laura, David, and Mary stumble onto this mystery, and they must avoid Steven's plans to turn them into robots.

Talk about bland
25 June 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A lot of people love films made for television. They are like a guilty pleasure, especially ones like those on Lifetime. They can sometimes be pretty silly, but entertaining at the same time. But then some are just plain lame and uninteresting and it's good they're never released to video. The first 'Stepford Wives' sequel turned out to be better than it had any right to be. It took seven years, but another was aired on TV and this time it takes things a little further. Unfortunately this time there is very little to recommend.

Pros: Above average performances, especially from Barbara Eden and Don Murray. Beautiful scenery. A few memorable sequences. The idea of Stepfordizing children is at least of change of pace.

Cons: Unexciting direction. Forgettable score. Tries to update the concept, but doesn't do it in any interesting ways. Very slow paced. Lacks suspense. Has not aged well. Anticlimactic ending.

Final thoughts: Part 2 is inferior to 1, but still a pretty good film. With this one they finally tried something a little different, but it doesn't work. The intelligence found in the first two is mostly absent this time. I could have forgiven that had the film not been so boring. Just skip this one.

My rating: 1.5/5
