The Stepford Wives (2004)
I know it's a remake and I know it's not as good as the original (or even really that good) but this movie has some really funny moments. Most of them, of course, include Bette Midler and Roger Bart, because they're both absolutely fabulous. Nicole Kidman is so-so and Matthew Broderick is not really convincing at all as the beaten-down husband. Christopher Walken is creepy as always, as is the whole concept of Stepford, but beyond that, there's not much here. It's like I Dream of Jeannie gone horribly scarily wrong.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
