CGiii Comment
Terrible opening credits and it just gets a whole lot worse - nothing quite like starting off on a bad foot.
Oz should stick to directing puppets because he certainly can't direct humans - no matter how big their names are.
Like all of his films, for muppets only.
One of the worst re-makes EVER.

The(ir) Blurb...
Joanna Eberhart, a wildly succesful president of a TV Network, after a series of shocking events suffers a nervous breakdown and is moved by her milquetoast of a husband, Walter, from Manhattan to the chic, upper-class and very modern planned community of Stepford, Connecticut. Once there, she makes good friends with the ascerbic Bobbie Markowitz, a jewish writer who's also a recovering alcoholic. Together they find out, much to their growing stupor and-then horror, that all the housewives in town are strangely blissful, and somehow... doomed. What is going on behind the closed doors of the Stepford Men's Association and the Stepford Day Spa? Why is everything perfect here? Will it be too late for Joanna and Bobbie when they finally find out?
