It's as cool and shameless a piece of emotional blackmail as any movie has ever produced.January 01, 2000
Disjointed, loaded with tired expressions and disconcerting exchanges!January 01, 2000
Beyond embarrassing!August 11, 2003
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.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.January 02, 2011
Contrived yet effective family weepie.January 01, 2000
A lab-engineered weepie!January 01, 2000
Too loud, bright and shallow for its subject!March 03, 2002
Conveys many of the difficulties inherent in the stepfamily arrangement and the insecurities we all tend to feel when we compare ourselves to others.January 01, 2000
You won't be able to suspend your disbelief, but you will need extra tissues.January 01, 2000
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!January 01, 2000
It's merely a soap opera with elevated production values and a sterling cast.
