The Stepford Wives

Joanna Eberhardt (Nicole Kidman) is fired from her high paying job as a Network Executive in New York after a contestant on one of her shows tries to sabotage the Network. Joanna is fired and moves with her husband, Walter (Matthew Broderick) to Stepford, Connecticut. Joanna soon finds out that the women of Stepford are all the same; blond, big-breasted and slaves to their husbands' every whim. Joanna later finds out that the women all had one thing in common; they all had higher paying jobs than their husbands before they moved to Stepford. Joanna goes on an investigation to find out the truth and Walter debates whether or not change Joanna into one of the Stepford wives.

More quotes from The Stepford Wives

Trivia: The original cut of the movie made it clear that the wives had been replaced by robots. After test audiences hated this revelation, Frank Oz decided to do re shoots to make the wives simply humans with microchips in their brains. With the elimination of a sequence featuring an out-of-control Bette Midler robot and other scenes, this created numerous plot holes and inconsistencies. In a 2007 interview, Frank Oz admitted that the decisions he made were wrong and the film tanked because he "didn't follow his instincts".
