Stepmom
1998
**½
Director: Chris Columbus
Cast: Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Ed Harris, Jena Malone, Liam Aiken
A schmaltzy but not entirely offputting drama about a divorced couple, their two kids and the new stepmom who stirs up things within the family. There are conflicts but everything's worked out just as predictably as you'd imagine. Julia Roberts plays a fashion photographer in one of the least convincing potrayals of a person at work.
