Stepmom
Locke Harrison divorced his wife and was called Jackie. Harrison began to think of associating with his fashion friend Isabelle Kelly after his divorce to his wife three years ago. After their meeting, Kelly meets with Harrison's children for the first time in order to restore their lost mother's tenderness, but perhaps the children were not in a state of strong acceptance or loyalty except for their divorced mother. Isabelle could not bear the burden left by Harrison, and may turn into a major family crisis for children as well as people within the family.

Conveys many of the difficulties inherent in the stepfamily arrangement and the insecurities we all tend to feel when we compare ourselves to others.

Too loud, bright and shallow for its subject!

Not since 1979's Kramer vs. Kramer has a mainstream movie more accurately, insightfully, humorously or tear-jerkingly dramatized family life in our time than Stepmom!

It's as cool and shameless a piece of emotional blackmail as any movie has ever produced.

Contrived yet effective family weepie.

It's merely a soap opera with elevated production values and a sterling cast.

You won't be able to suspend your disbelief, but you will need extra tissues.

A sloppily scripted, formulaic tear-jerker about spoiled rich people who whine a lot. I defy you to feel anything for these characters other than the desire to slap them--even Sarandon's obligatorily terminally-ill Mom.

Beyond embarrassing!
January 01, 2000
A lab-engineered weepie!
January 01, 2000
Disjointed, loaded with tired expressions and disconcerting exchanges!
January 01, 2000
It's a film that takes valid, complex family dynamics regarding divorce, remarriage, and parenting and reduces it all to bitchy catfighting, obvious button-pushing, and tawdry clichés.
