Just saw the new Stepford Wives

And for those who've seen the original, don't bother with this one. Not nearly as dark or disturbing as its predecessor.

4. They couldn't make up their mind

If they wanted it to be dark, a comedy, or a dark comedy. The final result was that it ended up being none of the above.

2. I can't believe they tried to make a comedy of it

They could have made a really dark creepy movie, and they just blew it by the looks of it.

5. She only had a couple of lines in the whole movie

She was mostly just eye candy, a part she played very well.

6. I've heard nothing but negative reviews, thus far.

From friends and critics alike. Sounds like a good reason for a summer picnic in the park, with a good book and/or friend.

7. I read tepid reviews that agree with your analysis

One thing I notice in the previews...Glenn Close looks just like the happy wife of that guy in the TV commercials who decides to do something about male enhancement.

8. That's the Impression I Got From the Trailer

I saw in an article somewhere, the director refer to the original as a comedy. I just went, 'huh?'

9. I did think the "Log Cabin Republican" bit was pretty funny, though ...

The little elephant pin Glenn Close's character was wearing cracked me up.
