Pros: Very good plot and great acting Cons: Very sad, makes it very tough to watch, it is so sad.
It took us a while to finally decide to watch Stepmom. We knew it is sad, very sad drama and we needed to be in the right state of mind. Well, there is not right state of mind when watching this film. Last night we decided to see what we were...

Pros: gets the emotions going Cons: unrealistic
Being a stepmother myself, I was quite interested in how this movie would play out. In the long run, I was satisfied with the movie in general, even though it really had very little to do with the actual life of a real stepmother. Be prepared to have...

Pros: The Plot of the movie and the cast Cons: My girlfriend cried way too much! =)
How would you feel if your father divorced your mother and went for a much younger lady as her replacement? Or how would you feel if your ex-husband divorced you and asked a much younger woman to marry him and wanted your approval? ...

Pros: Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts Cons: A box of tissues required
This movie is a tear jerker. What makes the movie different are Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon along with Ed Harris. This is mainly a female dominated movie. Its all about emotions and more emotions. Well It can make a woman’s...

Pros: such a happy movie. Cons: hard to digest.
Obviously the screenwriters of "Stepmom" never had one. Otherwise, this tearjerker would've turned into a horror flick.
The plot is simple: A divorce. The father remarries. Julie Roberts gets disrespect from his daughter, and a...

Pros: A fun movie to watch with your family Cons: not as emotional as I thought
I rented this movie two months ago because I read that is was sad and I love sad and dramatic movies that can move me emotionally as I watch. However, I found it to be not as sad as "One True Thing" but well worth it.
The story is...

Pros: sweet, emotional, realistic, good cast Cons: none for me
I have just finished watching this movie for the second time in 3 days, about my sixth total time seeing it. I love it even more every time. I think a movie has accomplished its goal and gone beyond entertainment when it can actually stir some pretty...

Pros: beautiful story Cons: none
I was recommended to see this film from a good friend, so finally she brought it over and I watched it the other evening.
She had warned me it was a tear jerker, but didn't say why. After I saw this film, I now know.
The performance...

Pros: great acting, realistic, goes to the heart Cons: you'll get smudged mascara (=
Sorry to write an epinion on a movie so many have already written about, but I loved this movie so much that I just couldn't help myself! I saw this movie because I've been real sick and so I said to my mom, "Hey! Why don't we get a...

Pros: heartwarming story Cons: it's sad
My friend and I were in the video store and she picked up Stepmom. We rented it, after all, Julia Roberts was in it and I am so happy I did. It is a real heart-touching movie.
Julia Roberts plays Isabel. She is a "career" woman, and...

Pros: Great actors, story line, acting Cons: Not true to life - it's a movie, after all
I first saw this movie when it was first released on video. Judging from the previews, I chose not to see it in the theater. Why, you ask? Simple. I am a big cry baby when it comes to movies like this and I know enough to stay away from huge...

Pros: Realistic, interesting storyline Cons: Poor characterizations, bitter tone
When Stepmom was advertised for the theatres, I recall thinking it was going to be a funny, touching, happy story about a family struggling to re-form itself after a divorce and remarriage. Instead it was filled with bitterness, cruelty, and characters...

Pros: Everything Basically Cons: Key Moment At End Of Film Missed on Full Screen Version
So many families have experienced the heartbreak of divorce. I have never seen a film before Stepmom, that has handled all of the emotions experienced so completely and touchingly.
I like this film for a variety of reasons. The entire cast...
