Stepmom

Rating:
Summary: Dull at the start, but the end is a classic tearjerker.
Review: The first 45 minutes of STEPMOM were draining and dull. It was like a Jerry Springer catfight without all the sex and only some of the foul language. What blossoms in the next 80 minutes is a classic tearjerker that spreads great acting from all the actors and actresses, especially from Liam Aiken as Ben, the cute, love-to-love character. His acting charisma is almost perfect, the best of the excellent crop of acting. It's hard to know who to root for in the first half, it's boring and flat. But then everyone gets along and the movie becomes enormously refreshing and fantastic. I recommend this film to everyone. Loved it so much!!

Summary: real human drama for adults
Review: I'm really tired of popcorn movies that have no soul. Stepmom is a breath of fresh air. You know, I never realized what a good actress Julia Roberts is untilStepmom. Ed Harris is always good of course and seems to inhabit his character with all of his being. Of course he does this with all of his roles, but it's just nice to know you can rely on him. Stepmom is about real life and real people. Give those insipid Hollywood formula films a rest and see the reason why film was invented, to explore human drama.

Summary: Tear-Jerker Alert
Review: This movie is one of the best ones that appeared in 1998. It is one of those movies that you have to watch with family and after you see it, it makes audience appreciate their family more.

Summary: A Great Movie From One Step-mom.
Review: I really enjoyed the movie, and as a "Former" step-mom, my kids are mine now, the movie made me cry and laugh. So many things really hit home. The actors were great. Thanks to Chris Columbus for one more good family movie.

Summary: Wholesale and manipulative
Review: It's pretty bad when the most likeable character in your movie is a life-threatening disease. The two leads are so caught up in winning the affection of the children, they don't stop to wonder what's best for them. And while I normally like Ed Harris, his character basically boiled down to a likeable slimeball. And please, oh please, let there be a moratorium on Lip-Synching to Oldies as a method of plot expansion. If you're looking for quality, don't waste your time here.

Summary: Pleaseant Movie
Review: Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts was great. They fitted their roles perfectly. A funny yet sad and interesting movie. But not good enough for a 5 star in my books

Rating:
Summary: Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts are perfect together
Review: "Stepmom" is a sweet, well-executed movie that doesn't disappoint. I expected it to be sappy or corny, but instead found it heartwarming. The acting is superb - each actor is perfect for their part. A great movie for the family to enjoy!

Summary: Nothing to get all hyped up about
Review: I liked the movie pretty much, but the kids were really cocky and a little too old for their age..especially Ben. Anna really treated the whole situation very unrealistically. Some things that were said and done would definitely not happen in real life. Do not buy this, just rent it. It's worth that, but it's not worth it to own it.

Summary: The best movie!!!!!
Review: I loved the movie stepmom! Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts were fantastic! Ive seen the movie 6 times so far and i still cry everytime. Susan Sarandon is the best actress in the world and she made the movie so wonderful!!!!! I thought it was a great story. My favorite part of the movie was when sarandon and her kids were dancing and singing Because i luv that song and its the happiest part of the movie. Ben is adorable. So if u like comedies, dramas,and a tearjerkes I would go the the video store right away and rent this movie because it has has many mixed feelings and because it is the best you will ever see!!!!!!

Review: I love this movie. It is so close to real life that it makes it belivable. Julia Roberts made a great stepmom. Like a stepmom you could talk to. The end is sad and can really make you cry.
