The Stepford Wives surprised me. Granted, I had 45 minutes in which to watch a 93 minute movie, so I skipped roughly half of it. But despite it's obvious flaws as a piece of girly Hollywood cheese, the themes were brilliant! Without giving away too much of the plot, the movie nicely touched upon issues of the constant demand for perfection, and the crazy things people do to attain it. Obviously, it was a little bit extreme in it's prediction and depictions, but I liked that a movie talked about this topic in such a frank and easy way.
I was forced to watch it for class, but I'm glad I saw it. Or, at least, glad I saw the half of it that I did. I still don't know what that one gay guy saw over that railing. It's ok though, I'm sure it's not that integral to the plot if I managed to understand the rest of it.
Perhaps not a clear choice when trying to decide which movie to watch tonight, but it was good in it's own respects.
