Stepmom Movie Review

  The other day I was channel surfing when I stumbled across a movie on ABC Family called Stepmom. This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Not only does this movie have bad acting, it is just too taboo for a movie.
  Stepmom is about a divorced mother who is diagnosed with Lymphoma played by Susan Sarandon. Weirdly enough and questionably she is living with her ex husband played by Ed Harris, and his fiancee played by Julia Roberts and the two kids that Sarandon and Harris had before their characters divorced. First off I find it weird and taboo for an ex wife to be living with her ex husband and his fiancee. Who in the hell does this sort of thing? Think about it for a moment and let that sink in your brain.

  Sarandon's character is dying of lymphoma and wants to spend enough time with her kids before she dies. This is problem number 2 with this movie, Susan Sarandon's acting. The way I viewed her acting is that she felt like an unstable creep who wanted to be with her kids while she was dying. She seemed like the type that wanted to murder her ex husband, his fiancee, and their two kids and kill herself. Sarandon was more like a homicidal maniac the way she wanted her kids to remember her when she would no longer be there to see them grow up. To prove the creepiness even more here, for Christmas gifts she gave her daughter a quilt with pictures of her and her daughter on it. She gave her son a magician's cape with pictures of her and her son on it. What kind of Christmas presents are these? Seriously who in the fuck would want a quilt with pictures of you and your soon to be deceased mother on it?
  The subplot is Sarandon and Roberts conflicting on how to raise the kids once she's gone. They butt heads a few times and eventually get along at the end. This brings me to the ultra creepy ending. The ending is extremely taboo, a picture of Sarandon and Roberts, her ex hubby and kids all together. I mean who takes a photo with your current fiancee and your ex wife and the kids? The family portrayed in this movie has issues,
  The score for this movie was composed by John Williams and is not one of his memorable scores. So this one will skip my collection. The director Chris Columbus directed better movies than this such as Home Alone.
  Overall I give this movie 0 out of 10 stars. It sucked. Don't watch it.
