Goofs:
Factual errors: At the soccer game, Anna is shown running from behind one of the attacking players from the other team just after the whistle is blown for a kick-off from the centre circle. As defending players must be within their own half for a kick-off and the ball is usually passed backward, this would mean that she was offside before the whistle was blown more

Just Wonderful, 8 December 2002
Author: livingdeadgirl_13 from vancouver

I love Stepmom. I've seen it about a million times but it moves me every time and I'm always close to crying. Everyone does an amazing job. You could totally feel the chemistry between Susan Sarandson and Julia Roberts. You could feel the hate, the jealousy and at the end the understanding between these two. The younger kids do a great job too. They were very belivable. Funny, Heartwarming and a Tearjerker, Stepmom get's a 10/10 from me
