The Stepford Wives (2004) with Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick
starring to all who wish to improve their language skills.
The
Stepford Wives is a 2004 American sci-fi dramedy film. It was directed by Frank
Oz from a screenplay by Paul Rudnick and stars Nicole Kidman, Matthew
Broderick, Bette Midler, Christopher Walken, Faith Hill and Glenn Close. The
film is a remake of the 1975 film of the same name; both films are based on the
Ira Levin novel The Stepford Wives.
While
the original book and film had tremendous cultural impact, the remake was
marked by infighting behind the scenes, poor reviews by many critics, and a
financial loss of approximately $40 million at the box office. The film was
also heavily reworked in editing and many blame that for the film's failure.

Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant",
