(2004)
The original The Stepford Wives was about dudes replacing their women with empty-headed, housework-obsessed duplicates, with the overall theme being that this was a bad thing. That's why it's kind of telling that this version treats the whole thing like a huge joke, and the main chick like she more-or-less deserves it. Oh, and said main chick just happens to be a super-successful television producer. Look, I'm sorry if you have issues with all the women in the entertainment industry who are too smart and successful to fuck you, but don't make the rest of us sit through a movie about it. And if you are going to make us sit through a movie about it, could you at least make it not stink worse than leaky taco ass? I mean really, we're all familiar with Celebration, Florida so it's not like there's any surprises to be found in a Stepford movie; the jokes are horrible (wow, a gag about AOL being slow... how topical for eight years before this movie was made); and why even include the "robot dog" if you're gonna make it a cartoon so fake-looking that it would barely pass muster on the Syphilis Channel? Seriously, it looks like it's not even there. Maybe it's supposed to be a hallucination. Also, I get that the duplicates are robot clones with chips in their heads (it seems pretty redundant to make them robots AND clones, but whatever), but at least some of the originals are still alive enough at the end to do the Larry King show so where, exactly, were these folks kicking it while their duplicates ran amok? Were they just locked in somebody's basement? And what ultimately happened to the duplicates after their chips got fried and they started acting like the originals? Were they issued Social Security numbers and allowed to wander off to make their own way in the world? Or were they all just scrapped out for their parts and organs? Did no one think any of this through? Once again I'm left with too many questions, and only one obvious answer: the people who made this movie are lazy, incompetent hacks.
