The movie serves as a commentary on gender roles and the dangers of enforced perfection.

Reviews
Revenge of the Stepford Wives received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.9/10, reflecting general dissatisfaction with its execution. Critics noted that while the film attempted to build on the original novel's satirical premise, it lacked the suspense and sharpness that made the concept compelling. Some viewers appreciated Sharon Gless's performance but felt the storyline was predictable and pacing uneven. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official critic score for this film, but user reviews mirror a sense of disappointment, citing that the horror and thriller elements fall flat. Metacritic also lacks an aggregated score, though retrospective assessments consider the film less impactful compared to other Stepford adaptations. Overall, the film is often viewed as a lesser sequel or spin-off that failed to live up to the original’s cult status.
