If they had started within BC on TV primetime (6pm-10pm), Emma Stone’s teen version of The Scarlet Letter (Easy A, 5.25pm Prmt) or Kevin Hart’s rom-com (About Last Night, 5.18pmn HBO) might have been in contention.

Today’s Number One Film:

The Stepford Wives, 7.30pm Fox Comedy Ch 557. Watch this if you liked Intolerable Cruelty, Pleasantville or The War of the Roses. This blackly comic mockery of the cost of the American concept of perfect family life, picket fences and smiling women is probably not for the literal-minded; for those with imagination, it’s potentially a treat.
