Plot Summary:
|
Jackie (Susan Sarandon) and Luke (Ed Harris) are divorcing after years of matrimony and two children, Anna and Ben. Their new stepmother, Isabel (Julia Roberts), wants to be complex in the children's life, but is unwilling to sacrifice anything for her work. Jackie considers this to be selfish and coarse, sparking a clash between the two women. When cancer enters the idea, everyone is mannered to spring up in order to reconcile their differences. A tearjerker in the truest impression of the poop.

tear-jerkingly amazing
This film shows great acting skills revolving around a great down to earth plot facing a lot of modern issues which some us have to face. Not one to miss out on.
Stepmom
Emotional family drama from Harry Potter director Chris Columbus. Saintly divorcee Susan Sarandon struggles not to spar with her kids' new stepmom Julia Roberts, but everything changes when she is diagnosed with cancer
Columbus followed up body clock comedy Nine Months with a family drama, this time switching the emotional trigger from birth to death.
Newly resident in the home of divorced lawyer Luke (Harris), fashion photographer Isabel (Roberts) tries to make friends with his precocious children but her advances aren't helped by their loyalty to biological mother Jackie (Sarandon), whose death by cancer is presented as a sort of New Age rite of passage.
Performances are as competent as you'd expect from the big name cast, but these cash...
