Teaser Trailer:

Hi-Res

Med-Res

Lo-Res

Release Date: June 11th, 2004 (wide)

Cast: Nicole Kidman (Joanna Eberhart), Matthew Broderick (Walter Eberhart), Bette Midler (Bobbie Markowe), Christopher Walken (Dale Coba), Roger Bart (Roger Bannister), Glenn Close (Dr. Emily Francher), Faith Hill (Sarah Sunderson), Jon Lovitz (Dave Markowe), Matt Malloy (Herb Sunderson), Mike White, Lorri Bagley (Charmaine Van Sant), Colleen Dunn (Marianne Stevens), Tom Riis Farrell (Stan Peters), Jason Kravitz, Lisa Masters (Carol Wainwright), Kate Shindle (Beth Peters), Robert Stanton (Ted Van Sant), Christopher Evan Welch (Ed Wainwright)

Director: Frank Oz (The Score, Bowfinger, In & Out, What About Bob?, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)

Screenwriter: Paul Rudnick (In & Out, Jeffrey, Isn't She Great?, Addams Family Values)

Premise: Joanna (Kidman) and her husband (Broderick) move to the beautiful upper-class suburb of Stepford, where she soon starts to suspect something is strange and artificial about her new female neighbors. The wives living in the houses around them all seem to be too perfect, with bland, character-less personalities. Everyone that is, except her new friend Bobbie (Midler), who as a cranky, sarcastic, non-exercising alcoholic still has some semblance of personality and independence. As Joanna and Bobbie investigate their neighbors further, they discover that there is indeed something artificial about them, something... robotic, the result of the husbands banding together to replace their human wives with cyborg copies who are subservient, sexually compliant and devoid of any distinguishing character traits. Will Joanna and Bobbie be the next ones replaced by perfect robotic clones? (Roger Bart plays a gay confidante of Kidman's character who ends up getting "straightened out"; Walken and Close play a couple; Lovitz plays Midler's husband)

I think Nicole Kidman has replaced Bruce Willis's long heralded "Movie A Month" stint.  Congratulations, Nicole.

All she needs is a record deal, and she will easily cinch the "Beyonce Knowles Award" for the Annual Media Overload awards.

She's really good, but not as good as people say she is.
I think I'll have much more respect for somebody like Charlize Theron after "Monster."

If given the opportunity, I would...to a bloody pulp.

...with a tire iron?
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Why risk damaging a perfectly good tire iron?

Hmmm, well wait until you see that.  I made the unfortunate mistake of watching 'Trapped' on cable last night.  She needs to be stopped.

You mean as a marketing tool (which I agree with 'cause it gives away the 'reveal' for thos who don't know the story), or that doesn't show? I just rechecked them and they're playing fine.
