Jackie and Isabel have nothing in common-one is the ideal mother, the other is struggling to be any kind of mother-until circumstances force them to share a family and put aside their mutual hostility for the sake of their two children. They discover how precious life, love and the ties that bind really are in Stepmom-a movie about real life with all the laughs and tears of real families.

Movie Review

It's old versus new in Stepmom, a contemporary drama starring Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. Sarandon plays the loving and protective mother of two children and the ex-wife of Ed Harris, who has found new love in the more youthful Roberts. She is trying the best she can but Sarandon doesn't think her effort is good enough. Full movie review »

I think Stepmom is a blast to watch. I just bought it about three weeks ago for $5.99! I think there was a little too much bickering and arguing, but overall, this was a pretty warm movie to me, and there were a few parts that got me all soaked up and I started crying. The only thing that bothered me was Susan Sarandon's neck. What is she- a reptile? I thought that that was a little gross, but still, I liked the movie a lot. Not a perfect score, but pretty close.
