Okay, so having seen the hokey 1970's version of
this movie, I was intrigued by the idea that they
were remaking this movie. What in God's name
would make them think this was a good idea? Then
I looked at the director: Frank Oz. And then I
looked at the cast: Bette Midler, Christopher
Walken, Ferris Bueller . . . um I mean Mathew
Broderick, and Nicole Kidman.
It's directed by Frank Oz, who also directed
Little Shop of Horrors. It's got Chris Walken?
Mmmmm . . . I thought to myself. It's got Bette Midler
as a Stepford Wife, oh that's PRICELESS. Hmm . . .
Okay I'm sold. I wanna go see it.
I managed to convince Zack that it wouldn't be
scary in the "give you nightmares" kind of way. I
might have lied a little there. Ever since the
movie I can illicit a twitch from him with just
the simplest of "Yes, Dear"'s in an overly perky
voice.
It was a GREAT movie. It was truly hilarious and
the main characters are all charming and
compelling. It far exceeded my expectations, and
when it comes out on DVD, I want it. I definitely
recommend going and seeing it if you haven't yet.
