| Stepmom Review |
| by Matt Williams |
| With a bland and unrevealing title like Stepmom, you might half expect a
horror film about the mad matriarch of a dysfunctional family. That's
not the case here. Rather, Stepmom is another a long tradition of
three-hankie weepies, and a rather...more |

| As I saw in the trailers that Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, and Ed Harris were
starring in this drama I thought...how could it not be good? Well, my question
stayed true, considering Stepmom is the best movie of the year. It is shown as
more of a...more |

| Susan Sarandon, one of Hollywood's most respected actresses, and Julia Roberts,
one of Hollywood's most successful actresses, team up for the Christmas 1998

| Stepmom is a movie that takes all of our emotion-strings and yanks on them
for two hours. It makes us laugh, cry, sympathize, and dislike. And it's
because of this that the movie fails. more |

| Andrea and I went to see Stepmom last night and boy, did it suck. Here is
my review, which gives a lot away. I have not felt so compelled to talk
through a movie in a long time. As people who love Susan Sarandon, this is
a huge disappointment. more |

| Yes, I'll admit it. I did go to see Stepmom: partly because of its
two leading actors and partly because someone asked me. No, mostly
because someone asked me. And, in spite of it all, I'll still talk to
that person. more |

| 'Stepmom' has the worst screenplay I've ever seen for subject matter

shallow are just a few adjectives that would be accurate in describing
it. Releasing it during the holidays and...more |

| As seen in the film's light-hearted trailers, STEPMOM wants to be a
