About this movie

Julia Roberts portrays Isabel, a career-minded photographer forced into the role of unwelcome stepmother to her boyfriend Luke's (Ed Harris) two children - 12-year-old Anna (Jena Malone) and 7-year-old Ben (Liam Aiken). Her efforts to earn their love and respect are complicated by Jackie (Susan Sarandon), Luke's ex-wife and the kids' fiercely devoted mother, who resents Isabel's intrusion. When Jackie discovers she has a terminal illness, the two strong-willed, independent women are forced to find a way to connect. Realizing they must put aside their differences, the two women find that their love for the children is more than just common ground. Eventually they discover how to accept each other in order to live life to the fullest, while they have the chance. 1998 Global Entertainment Productions GmbH & Co. Film KG and SPE German Finance Co.

I like this father. i wish when our first relationship doesnt work and we leave kids we should develop guts to move on without leaving gaps and creating hatred. Most stepmoms dont want anyting to do with the first woman. Its painful and chaotic.

Ésta pelí sí qué es demasiado verídica y a la vez, muy preciosa .. La Ex Esposa le hacía la vida muy díficil 🙅a la Amante y Conviviente de su ex esposo 😰😨😱.. más tiene un bello final... AMBAS TERMINAN SIENDO UN PAR DE BUENAS AMIGAS... 😊😉🤗... En dicho hogar sé respiraba en la atmósfera.. un aire de Amor, Armonía, Alegría y Felicidad.. 😘😘😘⭐⭐⭐.. hermoso final a diferencia de la canción de Maluma : FELICES LOS TRES NO LOS CUATRO... jijiji 😊 una pequeña bromita jijiji 😄... Paz ✌️👌🙌
