To be fair, it took 'em a fair part of the movie to get to this point of truthfulness. This movie should of been appalling - the concept was maudlin at best and just begging to be abused - but the performances of everyone but particularly it's two leading ladies not only saved it every time, but destroyed me when I ultimately saw it after years of avoidance. Bring many tissues - even more than for 'Steel Magnolias'
The thing is this is the way it should be with mothers and stepmothers and fathers and stepfathers. It's not about them. It's not about the divorce it's not about the arguments, it's about the kids. But so often the parents use the kids as ammunition against each other and that's just wrong! Kids aren't weapons they're blessings!
Susan Surandon has cancer and is bio mom...Julia Roberts is stepmom....they argue the entire time with normal divorce family stuff. At the end tho Susan realizes her babies need a mom when she's gone and blesses Julia Roberts specifically in this scence
Man the way this dialog would make me cry and still does 😢😭 growing up this movie was one of my favorites but as a parent now this hits so much harder❤️👌🏻
I have tears. I’m mid 50s and lost my mom when I was 14. This just brought back how much I miss her. My next day off I need to go to her grave and have a “talk” with her.
You don't have to wait for a day off to go to a place where she is not. She is in your heart and in your memories ...and those are with you every single moment of every day. Talk to her often she can hear you. Her spirit is with you for eternity. ❤
@@reataylor9718I really am so very sorry. No matter how you lose your mom, the pain is always there. I want to know more about her childhood., recipes I wish I had learned. My girls don't want to spend quality time with me. One of these days it will be too late.😢
You don't need to visit her grave to talk to her. Find yourself a bit of quiet time where you can sit alone in peace, settle yourself comfortably, take a soothing breath and in your mind, call for her. After a few moments, start to talk to her. You can either speak out in your mind or aloud, both work just as well. Don't doubt for a moment that she is listening. P.S I'm not being hokey saying this stuff, I'm a medium and that is how I start my communications. Just take some time to talk to her. Think of the well known words..."Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there"...she is with you wherever you talk to her. P.P.S look out for a whisper soft wispy sensation on your cheek...that is her.xx
STEPMOM! this move is heart wrenching it’s so hard to watch in the best way. I used to watch it every couple of years and watching as a kid watching it as a teen watching it in my 20s and now as a mom. Every time is hard but it teaches me different things about the kind of person I want to be. It’s a beautiful movie
She has no choice but to be humble. The most important thing to her is that her daughter be loved and raised right once she's gone. She hasn't got the luxury of foolish pride anymore. She's dying and she's at the step mom's mercy.
😢 it was one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. Maybe bc my husband of 21 yrs left me for a younger woman that has done irreparable damage to me, my kids, and any kind of relationship with their dad. She got pregnant before our divorce was even final. She won't allow him to communicate with me. The worst part is when they're talking about the wedding, and rubbing it in how she will be at the woman who raised her's daughter wedding, getting her ready and talking about HER FEARS. The sad thing is that the real mother, the one who raised her, dried her tears, kissed her owies , rocked her to sleep, helped her with homework, soothed her bad dreams, packed lunches, taught her values, all to let the woman who got involved with a married man, her husband, rob her of the priceless future she was looking forward to, wedding planning, getting her ready, giving her the advice only she can give. And the selfish mistress is feeling sorry for herself and sharing her fear of the dying wife's memory haunting her. Is there anyone else who is thinking about this???
Having been raised with a mom and a stepmother this movie touched me. And it still does, because 7 years ago my mom died . The only parent I have left at almost 50 years old is my stepmother.
❤ Some young kids lose their Mother far too soon... yes myself 41yrs terminal cancer their ages 16 13 & 8.... They do not have a Step Mummy to fall on once I'm gone.... This scene... I just can't... as I literally said these exact words almost 2wks ago to my partner, we got their past together.. You get to have their futures... all of it... This movie hits alot deeper now❤️🩹 I hope you are okay though hun ? With yours & your StepMothers relationship is a flourishing one ❤❤
I can't begin to know how many time I have seen this. So many I can recite dialog along with them. And I still cry!!!! 😢😢 (Crying now just watching the clip). 😭
I know, I've watched this movie I don't know how many times and STILL cry, even this little clip. Steel Magnolias same thing. That movie had an outstanding cast as well. Now that's one movie I hope they never remake. That's my opinion but, if your around my age... 50 you'll probably understand why I say that.
@@grannyprepper1181 yes, another great movie!!! You know, for some odd reason, I pushed that movie off for the longest time. Then one day I decided I would watch it and I'm so glad I did. All of the ladies in that movie were excellent choices. Now when it's on and I catch it, I rewatch it.
@@cherigoodrich782 I have two sons. One year for Christmas my youngest son gave me both of these movies on DVD as a gift. They have both been raised on those movies. He also gave me Blazing Saddles 🤣 nothing at all like the other two movies.
The emotional maturity this takes, if this would happen in the real world lawyers would be out of business. Too bad people have to die first before they are able to relativize.
To be fair, they argued, fought, and pretty much hated each other through most of the movie. It took her being told she was dying for her to hit that level of emotional maturity. So if this happened in the real world, pretty sure lawyers would still be doing just fine.
@@rosietouse686You are absolutely correct! Plus, let’s not forget the point that it’s not just her children that are being shared. A man and his wife of course should honestly be together for life, supporting, caring, and with true respect, loving towards each other. Instead, people need 2 women to believe in emotional maturity as a point of mutual understanding to be ditched and hitched 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, I think, that’s treacherous and self serving.
Very damn time 😭😭. Midnight horse ride. Little brother’s question, “Are you dying?” “A magician knows, just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there…” 💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
The movie is called Stepmother! It's a beautiful movie that makes you understand everyone's perspectives, from both mother's and the children too. I highly recommend it! It is heartbreaking but also uplifting.
I absolutely love Susan when she speaks she puts all emotions in her acting completely mesmerising ..Julia has a sensitivity to her character in this film really beautiful ❤
Due to conflicts my eldest son chose to live with his Dad. It broke my heart but I fought to stay in his life. Four years later, on his graduation day I shared the child-parent dance with his step-mom and told her that she helped raise him too. It was incredibly difficult going through those years but to love unconditionally is to put that child's happiness before my pride and hurt. Six years later we are still close. I've become the safe person he knows he can count on and can tell me anything without judgment or rejection. ❤
She is not jealous of their real mother, it is beautiful because she is saying that they will grieve without her and really how will they cope. And she has to deal with it and she is giving her permission to deal with it so she can also help them remember her. So it is a beautiful exchange between a dying woman and mother and perceived replacement. The whole movie they do battle a lot and it may be normal but it is also grief. It is the grief she will lose her children and she will not essentially take her place but not replace her. But that would be painful for someone dying and never seeing her kids grow up. And it is Julia's characters grief too how she would take that on when she had never even been a mother and does not even seem like a mother type bit really cares about the kids.
My mom died around the time I met my mother in law. My mom was my best friend; I’ve been sick since I was 12 with the same illnesses my mom had, so we were bound together by our suffering, and making bad days fun anyway, finding ways to smile. My MIL is a nurse. She understands the disease process, but seeing how it can absolutely ravage someone’s health and make the simplest thing complicated was hard. She wanted better for me and it was tough to not try to fix it or expect me to get better, just accept me for who I am in these circumstances. She ended up being my maid of honor at my wedding. I missed my mom sooo much, and still do. But I’m blessed as hell to have a mother in law like her. She’s so fun!
One of the few chick flicks I enjoyed. I’m not really a mushy kind of girl. But this one hit me in the heart. Excellent film and relatable characters. Loved it.
No truer words were ever spoken. Blended families can be the best. It is possible to blend the past with the new. Sharing old memories and making new ones too.
With emphasis on the word CAN. We can see here how difficult it is. It is actually an exception that the stepmother care so much for her step kids. Best stay togeteher, don't devirce. Love each ithers
The movie is full of life messages without voicing them like in super overrated Barbie movie. It's hard to find movies like this nowadays where you can observe human relationships and different angles of accepting them. I watched it in my teenage years and it helped to understand how valuable is to listen to your kid, be there for him in a selfless manner, and make every moment priceless to remember. Later when I became a mom it helped me to be a better one.
You may feel that way, but I promise there are a lot of people who likely care about you that the hole left by your loss makes it hard to see. As much as you loved her, I'm sure she'd want you to take that love on with you, and live your life the way she always wanted you to: fully, knowing you were loved and are worthy of loving. That hasn't changed, no matter how far away it seems. ❤❤❤❤
This is a great movie. It's dramatic and sad and thoughtful. It was not a big blockbuster success, but if you find it, it's worth seeing. It was beautifully done.
Ive never watched the movie, but i know its premise. I love how they show how a mom and stepom can work together. How both can desire the best for the kids. How they can both love the kids. And its ok for the kids to love both, and share special moments with both. I am a step mom, and i love those young men as much as i love my own. I came into this instant family telling their mom that i consider them family, and since she is family to them, she is my family. We have worked together. We sit together at graduations, we discuss Christmas and birthdays so we can coordinate gifts. It means so much to me.
I was SAd. I had a baby and I gave them to people who couldn’t have a family. They will always be a part of me. No matter what I do. No matter what they do. We are tied for life. My bio father did not raise me. He will not be the one who will walk me down the aisle. The nuclear family is not the only family that exists that can feel whole. I gave mine up so that they could have that. Bc I couldn’t give them that. Bc I was broken. And broke. And they needed people that could take care of them. And the only thing I could ever hope for is that the family I gave them to shows up for them. Every game. Every event. Every sick day. And especially their wedding day.
This movie “tears u up”. Both pronunciations !…love the scene w Sarandon and her daughter in bedroom w the special quilt on Christmas. ‘Take me along with you ….’ Such beautiful writing. Beautiful acting.
Yes. even with the jealousy of each other, they came around for the sake of the children. Unfortunately in real life people are too resentful to be this mature😢
My stepdaughter, and her mom, took me to see this movie years ago. We all cried. I love them both, we all get along. Years later my handicapped son, (from an accident), needed extra help for going to classes and and a few more things. The mom to my stepdaughter, picked him up, took him to some classes, helped him out. My son, she and I would go to mtgs. together to find solutions for him, and then go to lunch after. We have always gotten along. I love her, and have a great deal of admiration and respect for her. My son hit by a hit and run driver, and he died the next day. She was with us the night before at the hospital. She helped with tge ohotos, flowers etc. for his funeral, he was 24, this was in Feb. of 2019. She said that because I was a good stepmother to her two children, that it made her not have to worry about them. She definitely reciprocated any good that I did, to my son.
Susan and Julia - two actresses who know how to act their hearts out!
The tears!!
We are now a collective puddle of feelings 😭
If all women would learn to be this honest with each other instead of tearing each other down the entire world would be a better place.

Susan's character is so humble & gracious 😢
Here. The entire movie she was really hard on Julia Robert’s character. But I’m glad they came together
Huh?😂
She was a major b^tch until she didn't have a choice. Julia Robert's tried like crazy and she hated her thoroughly.

You can both have today and tomorrow when ego and hurt is put aside for love.
This movie is amazing. When she gave her the blanket

@@fionam7768 it's Julia and Susan. I think writers and producers would be cautious not to mess this up.
Love that movie !! Julia & Susan really compliment each other ..
One of the best scenes ever!❤
One of the best movies it made me cry
Such a sweet and heart breaking movie.
Brilliant film. Great actresses. 😢
I was SAd. I had a baby and I gave them to people who couldn’t have a family.
They will always be a part of me. No matter what I do. No matter what they do. We are tied for life.
My bio father did not raise me. He will not be the one who will walk me down the aisle.
The nuclear family is not the only family that exists that can feel whole.
I gave mine up so that they could have that. Bc I couldn’t give them that. Bc I was broken. And broke. And they needed people that could take care of them. And the only thing I could ever hope for is that the family I gave them to shows up for them. Every game. Every event. Every sick day. And especially their wedding day.
This scene makes me cry every time😢
Every daughter may she be young or old will always wish her mom to be there ❤️
LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this movie, I bawl every single time.
This always breaks my heart ❤ xx
This movie broke my heart before I was even an adult and now that I'm a mom it breaks in a different way❤
This movie “tears u up”. Both pronunciations !…love the scene w Sarandon and her daughter in bedroom w the special quilt on Christmas. ‘Take me along with you ….’ Such beautiful writing. Beautiful acting.
Two good actress ❤
Yes. even with the jealousy of each other, they came around for the sake of the children. Unfortunately in real life people are too resentful to be this mature😢
The movie is “Stepmom”
My stepdaughter, and her mom, took me to see this movie years ago. We all cried. I love them both, we all get along.
Years later my handicapped son, (from an accident), needed extra help for going to classes and and a few more things. The mom to my stepdaughter, picked him up, took him to some classes, helped him out. My son, she and I would go to mtgs. together to find solutions for him, and then go to lunch after.
We have always gotten along. I love her, and have a great deal of admiration and respect for her. My son hit by a hit and run driver, and he died the next day. She was with us the night before at the hospital. She helped with tge ohotos, flowers etc. for his funeral, he was 24, this was in Feb. of 2019.
She said that because I was a good stepmother to her two children, that it made her not have to worry about them. She definitely reciprocated any good that I did, to my son.
