I was surprised with this movie. It actually portrayed a StepMom as Cool. Check out "Wah Wah".

Thanks!

Stepmom is actually pretty good, I thought.... Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts, Ed Harris.

Stepmom was a great movie.... except for the BM having cancer. (as irritated as BM makes me I don't want her to die).

STEPMOM was a good movie but remember how the BM and SKIDS hated her in the beginning....the only reason the BM came around is because she was dying of cancer and had to trust the SM to raise her kids.

I HATED the movie Stepmom.. truly truly hated it with my soul. Perhaps if it wasn't Julia Roberts vs Susan Sarandan... maybe... but the whole young beautiful new wife thing to me just reaffirmed the whole stepmom stereotype. I hated it as a SM but I really really hated it as a BM.

Okay, know I guess I'm going to have to see this movie... I usually avoid the whole happy SM/BM scenario because it just never was my reality...

I thought it was good. Showed how BM influences the kids and how SM kept trying to come out on top. Sure there were slips, but everything came out good in the end. With exception to the whole cancer thing.
