    The acting definitely could have be better

    I just knew this was going to be a awesome movie, I was laughing non stop because of the terrible acting. The laughs were overly dramatic, everything just seemed so fake. This movie could have been way better.

    Better than expected

    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.

    Good job

    Erica was not bad. With some acting classes she can improve alot. Keep working on ur talent. MH was a little rusty. Cynthia was a little dry but I think the character was dry.

    Run, don't walk, away from this mess!

    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.

    Crazy Stepmom Carter # A good movie

    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.
