Summary: Tina Louise is the reason to watch!
Review: Talk about a babe! What an idea! Ginger from Gilligan's island as your robot wife! Yummy.

Summary: Is this a way to insure domestic tranquility?
Review: This is a different kind of horror movie. Stepford seems like the usual upper middle class suburban setting, but it hides a bizarre secret! I'm not going to spoil it for you by giving away the plot right here; just see it for yourself and you'll agree that it's suspenseful and very frightening once the secret is revealed near the end. I can tell you this much, divorce lawyers won't make any money from anyone in this town.

Summary: Classic 70s!
Review: Everytime Stepford Wives is on I have to watch, as it just makes me laugh. The dialogue is a panic, and Paula Prentiss, especially, is just great.Beyond that, it was probably scary the first time I saw it (I don't remember). Yes, the best horror/sci fi movies have a larger element of plausiblity than this one, but I recommend just relaxing and enjoying. Most fun and interesting is how this is such a classic product of the 70s - the hair, costumes, the whole theme and premise of the movie. If Ira Levin's novel were adapted into a movie today, it would bear little resemblance to the Stepford Wives as we know it today. Next time I am having the boys over and we are going to have a Stepford Wives party! (I'll just die if I don't get that recipe!)

Summary: Little House in the Suburbs -- Not!
Review: All the women in Stepford have huge cans and seem to live to clean house and bake. Sound perfect? Au contrar! Seems the men in Stepford (one of them was the guy who created the evil Hall Of Presidents at Disneyland) are secretly replacing their human wives with exact, robotic replicas (except with bigger hooters - hey, what's a little design improvement!), who never talk back. Katharine Ross ("The Legacy") catches on, but in this "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"-esque beauty, time is running out.

Summary: Worth viewing. A fun little horror flick.
Review: Amusing to watch the eerie transition of the Stepford Women into man-pleasing robots. Some genuinely fine acting by Katharine Ross, whose stellar performance carries the film.

Summary: waste of my time...
Review: This movie was so bad! It was very slow moving, and I kept waiting for something to happen. And then the ending! It really made me angry, what was the point of having this character Joanna go through the movie hoping she can do something to change what is going on in Stepford? Everyone is saying what a great campy classic film this is, but i just felt it was boring and didn't go anywhere. This movie is far to boring to be a horror/camp classic.

Summary: It Hasn't Worn Well
Review: A slow-building thriller that fails to generate any real suspense, and one that hasn't aged well over the years. The script's pro-feminist themes now seem somewhat illogical and naive (what domineering heterosexual husband in his right mind would consider Katharine Ross in a long dress and white gloves an improvement over Katharine Ross in cut-offs and a halter top! ), and the technophobic aspects of the script seem ridiculously paranoid in this age of home computers, ATMs, and cell phones. The production also suffers from its 1970's look -- the pastel leisure suits, big hair, and now-outdated consumer references are distracting. The "Invasion of the Body Snatching Husbands" premise admittedly still has chiller potential and (unfortunately) some social relevance ... remake, anyone? The DVD transfer is substandard. The color balance is off, rendering too much red in most scenes and very poor blacks in the night scenes. There are a couple of breaks in the master print that show up as white blotches in the DVD, and the sound is muddled in some scenes, causing stretches of dialogue to be unintelligible. Not recommended for anyone but die-hard Katharine Ross fans.

Summary: I agree with the "sac-cali." reviewer!
Review: This was an awesome horror thriller for that time in movie making. However I do agree that it is very close to the Mormon cult's view of women. The only difference? They didn't have six children each to fill the "wandering spirits" mormons believe roam the earth in search of bodies to fill which good Mormon women provide them with by having babies. That aside, it was a great movie. Good special effects for that time period also!

Summary: Katharine Ross and Paula Prentiss Shine in this Thrillfest
Review: This movie is one of the scariest and most entertaining movies to date. The insidious "Men's Association", the supression of women, and the spookiest thing is that Stepford is recognizable in the world today.....A must have for any horror collector

Summary: One of the greatest movies of all time
Review: Okay...I LOVED this movie. Katherine Ross's portrayal of Joanna was fabulous. And Paula Prentiss's portrayal of Bobbi Marco...hilarious. Good comic relief. The director did such an excellent job of capturing the "weirdness" of this suburban nightmare. The overall clincher, though, is the scene where Joanna confronts her twisted barbie doll-like alter ego. Weird and scary...and the last scene, with all of the wives grocery-shopping, is nightmarish but nothing really scary is happening...they've all changed. If you want a really good, freaky movie...rent it or buy it. It's a fun, fabulous ride.
