At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

How ridicilous! Especially when you watch this movie under the German title "Terro in New York". There is neither terror nor New York. It's just Stepford. And we all know the better movie with Nicole Kidman, Glenn Close...
Dispensable!

It's so darn-tootin' silly it will make you larf. Esp. Julie K.'s part! Very campy -- I would recommend it to all who enjoy simple mindless entertainment! Sometimes you gotta watch movies that arn't so dark and stressful. After saying that, I have to admit that Monster is one of my favs and you can't get any darker than that! So, I guess moderation is the key.==I liked the original Stepford Wives, however, she seemed too helpless and I think they should have developed more about her relationship with her kids so you could feel how much she loved them. There seemed to be an empty space left in their absence. I loved the drawings one of the men would sketch right before each woman's "transformation" -- they were haunting and be

So here I am changing the channels on my expanded all digital channel line-up late one night, and I find the lovely Sharon Gless trying to escape being knifed by Julie "Marge Simpson" Kavner in total late 70's fashion, AND I LOVE IT! Just when it couldn't get any better, in walks Don Johnson and Audra "Mrs. Roper" Lindley (who deserved that Oscar nomination for "Desert Hearts" years back) and I am on the floor!! This movie has got to be the latest undiscovered "gem" in the last 25 years! Who cares how bad the story is. This is CLASSIC!!!

Maybe if I had never seen the original or read the book, I might have been mildly amused, but I doubt it. The fact is the husbands were killing their wives and replacing them with robots. An idea scarier today than it may have been then because it seems more possible that it could happen in the near future. But this movie's premise that the wives are servants because once a day when a big horn sounds, they all drop everything and take a pill is pretty stupid. If I were Ira Levin, I would've sued.
