Frank Oz's satiric remake of The Stepford Wives suffered a supposedly rocky time during production with many of the high-powered stars supposedly unhappy with different elements of the shoot. One would never know that were the case based on Oz's commentary track on the film's initial DVD release. He is polite and gracious toward every member of the cast, and dishes no dirt on anyone. His discussion skews toward what they cut in order to maintain the flow of the story. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Other supplemental materials include five behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, trailers, and a rather humorous blooper reel that showcases stars Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick suffering a serious case of the giggles, as well as a hilariously unintended Woody Allen impression by Broderick. This is a fine presentation of the film, but those hoping for some insider gossip on the film's production will be disappointed.
