The Stepford Wives [2004] (DVD)

A few people had recommended the book to me and the original film, but I thought I'd make my acquaintance with the story through the more recent version of the film.

Leaving the busy city and stressful life, Joanna and her husband, Walter decided to live in the suburb, in Stepford. This place seemed like a perfect place to live. A good sport club, the great hall, great housing and a fascinating community for women lead by Claire, a woman that came from the other world.
