The Stepmother

Throw it all away...Bad Acting. Acting was horrible, better off watching water going down the drain. Some people were born actors , others were born to stick to their lane.

This movie is god-awful. The acting, if you can call it that, is reprehensible. The son, his girlfriend, and the stepmother--were especially cringy to watch. I honestly don't know what's worse--the acting or the script. May none of them ever "act" EVER AGAIN!

Also, this movie was supposed to span months & no one ever changed hairstyles!?

Lord, please keep MH & Chris Stokes away from movies.

Stepmom 1& 2, grab some popcorn and don't criticize you not getting paid for that. The movie shows a crazy multi personality woman who gets men to love her. Men watch the beauty & fail to notice the instant love connection isn't real. Go watch it and support it. Stay single until you get the criminal background check and don't find the crazy lady.

I've heard the acting was bad, but i don't think that's true. The writing was worse then common scam scripts, the writing makes the acting seem much worse than it is. It's disappointing to because you can see the budget this movie had, watching it, the cinematography isn't half bad, its the writing that does it. When i saw the name and description i was counting on one of the classic, mass-produced, lifetime style thriller movies, and while I'm 100% sure that's what they wanted to do it felt more like something in between a parody and a student film drawing inspiration from these types of movies. The sub plot of the romance between the son and the neighbor is also wildly unnecessary. The characters presented aren't fleshed out enough to have you rooting for them, in fact i found my self most attached to the antagonist of the movie, the one with the most thought out story and background. Overall, the movie is choppy making time jumps every 30 minutes, and poorly written, i think had they given it another 6 months to really figure out the flaws in this movie they could have had something that was exactly what they wanted it to be and could have fitted right in with LifeTime.

When I saw Marques Houston and Erica Mena I assumed this movie would be garbage. But I gave it a chance and the premise is very similar to The Stepfather (which I've seen all 4). Some of the acting is OFF from multiple characters and sort of comical, but overall the writers did try to add depth with backstories. There were some loose ends but still better than expected.
