A few laughs- not a lot, though. In its defense, some of my friends really loved it, although I can't figure out WHY! There is diversity in the cast- a white woman, a Jewish woman, and a homosexual man are close friends.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Stepford Wives
Parents need to know that this movie has strong material for a PG-13, including vulgar humor, very explicit sexual references and an overheard sexual situation and comic violence. Characters drink, smoke, joke about psychotropic prescription drugs and Viagra, and use some bad language. There are some very nasty characters plotting some very nasty things. The main characters are all white and the movie has some comic stereotyping.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why a thriller plot from 29 years ago makes more sense as a comedy today. How are both versions inspired by the conflicting pressures on both men and women? What do you think about what the movie has to say about defining success and happiness? About perfection not really working?

Not a great movie...
Not a great movie....I wouldn't have seen it if I knew what it would be like. It wasn't very funny, and there were some sexual refrences and a little bad language. I wouldn't really suggest seeing this movie, because there's nothing that unique about it.
