"Stepmom" seems to have more screenwriters and producers than other major film companies released in 1998. On the credits of the credits, the list of screenwriters is so flashy that the film frame can hardly accommodate all of them. However, it turned out to be a cartoonized soap opera that lasted more than two hours. There was almost no difference, and the actors deserved better performance.
"Stepmom" focuses on the relationship between two women. They found an unexpected connection, but it mainly talks about the most broken American family in the 1990s. If the image of a happy family it provides is pure fantasy, then it will touch any American family in the 1990s. The success of the film is largely due to the three charismatic leaders who have provided companies with complete knowledge and talents, but it also has restraint, which is a rare thing in a melodrama.
"Stepmom" is co-starred by Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts, which will let the audience know that this is a tear-jerking movie. The film is not so much written by five screenwriters as it is written by Gigi Levangie and Ron Bass. Although it undoubtedly increases the complexity of the dialogue, the lives of these people are firmly grasped by the huge plot. Actors inject small elements of human nature into their characters, which helps to distract the audience from emotional manipulation.
