Stepmom on DVD

Book Notes
by Dawn Miller
This movie was a splash for Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon, and highlighted daily issues faced in stepfamilies. Julia Roberts plays Isabel, the stepmom. Isabel has never had children and has to figure out how to build relationships with stepkids Anna and Ben. Bio-mom Jackie is enraged that she might be replaced and Sarandon delivers an incredible performance that outshines even Julia Roberts. Focusing heavily on the relationships between stepmom, bio-mom and the kids, the movie excludes  other relationships most stepfamilies have to reckon with such as grandparents, step-grandparents or in-laws. A great movie to watch.
