I think Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts work so well together to make this a lovely, heart warming story. I loved every minute of it. I love the bit at the end where Anna says goodbye to her mum because... Read more at imdb.com

This was a pretty predictable movie, and way, way too long. The only reason for going to see it is Liam Aiken, who played the little boy. What a find! He is a good actor (not just for his age), and... Read more at imdb.com

"Stepmom" isn't a comedy. It's an emotional drama, although you would easily be forgiven for thinking otherwise. After all, the advertisments and trailers give the impression that it's a romantic comedy, whilst the fact that the picture is directed by... Read more at imdb.com

I got Stepmom for Julia Robert's performance, and I expected it to be pretty good. It did not fail me- it exceeded my expectations. This movie is beautiful.It's the story of a husband and wife with two kids who have... Read more at imdb.com

I'm still wondering why Susan and Julia didn't even get a nomination of the Academy, or the screenplay. This movie is a great movie about jelousy of a mother, that is scared that her children might love someone else as... Read more at imdb.com

Awful film - predictable in the extreme, and an unashamed rip off of the thousands of other mindless tear-jerker films out there. Yet again Julia Roberts managed to go through an entire film looking like she is just about to... Read more at imdb.com

The terrific scenes between Roberts and Sarandon and the tender understanding of Harris (who has a very fine proposal scene), along with those great Motown songs on the soundtrack, more than make up for the film's weaknesses. Surprisingly, Roberts, who is not as well known for her acting talent, actually out duels the formidable Sarandon in this head-to-head duel. ... Full Review

As said before, "Stepmom" is nowhere near as strong as "One True Thing," but the several top-notch performances and scenes were able to raise it above the level of mediocrity. One True Thing" was a more serious and seemingly accurate portrayal of a family coping with cancer, while "Stepmom" is a more sleek and "mainstream" motion picture. ... Full Review
