Movie Reviews of Stepmom
Movie Review: Unexpected Responsibilities and Blessings...
Summary: 5 Stars
Isabel (Julia Roberts) and Jackie (Susan Sarandon) have nothing in common.
Or so they think. But despite the obvious differences between them - Isabel is a Manhattan fashion photographer and Jackie is a stay-at-home mom to two kids - there is a bond growing between them.
For Luke, (Ed Harris), the children's father, is about to marry Isabel - despite his children's avowed dislike for the woman - and something is happening to Jackie that will radically alter all of their lives.
Stepmom is a movie that I saw many years ago - first in the theater and later on VHS - and when I ordered this DVD, I knew that I would enjoy watching it over and over for many years to come.
The poignancy of this story can touch anyone out there who has ever experienced the family complications conveyed in this movie; it can deeply affect everyone who has ever lived through anything like the joy and sorrow felt by the characters.
A wonderful drama about life and the unexpected moments that linger in our memories.

Movie Review: The Best Movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
STEPMOM is one of my favorite movies of all time!! It puts together comady, romance, drama, and family all in one two hour movie!! STEPMOM stars Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. They're best friends in real life, but for this movie, they can't stand being near each other!!
Julia plays Isabel, a very hip, kid-like woman who is in love with Luke. Luke is Jackie's ex-husband, who is played by Susan. So therefore, Isabel must take care of Jackie and Luke's two children, Ben and Anna.
The only problem is, Anna hates Isabel, and so Isabel gets annoyed. She doesn't seen to fit in. Especially when Jackie takes a dislike to her, also.
When Jackie finds out she has cancer, her world is torn in two, taking her family along with her. She can't cope with the fact that if she dies, her children will be left with Isabel.
This depressing movie brings the realistic reality that sometimes families must be there for each other. And Julia and Susan play the part of Isabel and Jackie perfectly!! Everyone will fall in love with Julia as she performs her role as the stepmother handling two young children. This is a MUST SEE!!
Movie Review: Fall in love a little... with everyone in this movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a 5, to me. Sure, I'm a dad, and not a mom, and sure, this does seem like a bit of a "chick flick"... but it's not.It's something much more powerful.
Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, and Ed Harris make this movie believable and there's so many scenes where the feelings are so strong, either happy or sad, that you can't help but shed a tear.
The reality of being "the evil step-mom", of children rejecting new loves, of the hateful/hurtful games that angry parents can play... This movie portrays the best and worst that love can bring out...
The movie finishes up by bringing it all home, with a powerful message that loving is better than hating, that there is so much hate, sometimes you have to stop being selfish, and you have to take a while and learn to love one another.
You can't get much better than this one. Get it. Watch it with your significant other, your mother, whoever... be prepared to feel deep down in your soul... it will happen.
Movie Review: SAD AND TRUE
Summary: 5 Stars
I CAN RELATE VERY WELL TO THIS MOVIE. AS A CHILD MY STEPMOM AND I DIDNT REALLY SEE EYE TO EYE. THAT HAS DEFINATLEY CHANGED SINCE IVE GOTTEN OLDER. KIDS REALLY DO HAVE A HARD TIME DEALING WITH DIVORCE AND A PARENT SEEING ANOTHER PERSON. IT CAN AFFECT THEM IN WAYS NOONE COULD IMAGINE. THIS MOVIE DEALS WITH THE EVERYDAY DRAMA OF A SPLIT UP FAMILY AND ADJUSTING TO A PARENTS NEW RELATIONSHIP. I THINK THE 12 YEAR OLD IN THIS MOVIE WAS MORE AFFECTED BY THESE EVENTS THAN HER YOUNG BROTHER. SHE WAS VERY HOSTILE AND DEMANDING BUT TURNED OUT SWEET AS PIE. I HOPE THIS IS AN ISSUE MY DAUGHTER WILL NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH. IF YOU CRY DURING MOVIES BE PREPARED. I THINK EVEN THE STRONGEST PERSON WILL SHOW SOME EMOTION TO THIS MOVIE. IT GETS ME EVERY TIME I SEE IT.Movie Review: Beautiful Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
STEPMOM is an excellent movie. It includes Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris, in this touching movie about family. Ed Harris plays Luke, who is divorced from Jackie (Susan Sarandon) and seeing Isabel (Julia Roberts). Jackie & Luke have two kids, Ben and Anna. There is definate animosity between Jackie & Isabel, and the kids. Isabel does her best but nothing seems to be good enough for Jackie. As the movie progresses however, Jackie & Isabel bond over certain experiences. Anna who is having difficulty accepting her father's new fiance, struggles in her every day life, but in the end learns to accept the situation. ... The movie is a touching tale about how a family comes together through crisis, and learns to live with each other again. This is definately a tear jerker, but the performances are strong all around. I highly reccomend this movie.
