A Review Too Far - Hello, My Name Is Doris

This week, our Cinema Geeks review The Stepford Wives (2004), The Quiet Man, and Hello, My Name Is Doris.
First up is the remake of The Stepford Wives which transports the battle of the sexes to contemporary times with Nicole Kidman playing the role of a disgraced television executive whose beta husband (Matthew Broderick) is slowly seduced by the idea of turning her into yet another robot housewive in the mysterious Connecticut town of Stepford.
After that is The Quiet Man which takes John Wayne out of his typical genres (Western, War) and into a Romantic Drama where he plays an Americanized Irishman who goes back to the Emerald Isle to retire in his family's old homestead and win over the feisty neighbor lass (played by Maureen O'Hara) who catches his fancy.
Lastly, out in theaters, is Hello, My Name Is Doris, which stars Sally Field as an introverted woman in her later years who tries to take a chance on romance with a much younger man and the misadventures she gets into as she breaks out of her shell.
