Stepford Wives
Jill and I started renting DVDs from the library (see review of the library). The fact that we did not pay anything for this rental is the one good thing about the movie. Wait, I did have to drive 1.5 miles to the library. I am not sure it was worth that. I didn’t have real high expectations for it. It has Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick in it so I thought it would at least be decent. I did not realize, however, that Bette Midler was in it. That would have been a major red flag (sorry every woman in the world – but it is true that guys aren’t big Bette Midler fans). She, surprisingly, wasn’t the bad part. Actually there wasn’t a bad part. It was just all bad. The script was awful. Even Chris Walken (I can call him Chris because I am a reviewer now) couldn’t save it. I have seen some bad movies that had no good actors and no budget involved. You expect those to be bad. This one had resources and was still awful. I can easily say it is one of the biggest waste of time movies I have ever seen. (Nicole, if you are reading this, I love your other work. Please be my friend.)
