A well written piece about the adjustment of two young children when a much younger woman becomes their stepmother. Beautiful and well-written performances by Sarandon, Roberts and Harris make this an outstanding vehicle for all three. Jena Malone shines as a 12 year old girl going through the insecurity of her mom being replaced by a younger woman, and coping with growing up at the same time. Liam Aiken is adorable as the young mischievous Ben, too young to quite understand it all, yet still creating his share of havoc for Roberts' character. Roberts and Sarandon make worthy adversaries, with the mom always tring to sway the kids' opinion, while the Stepmom just tries to learn how to be a parent, even though she never planned to be. Although I'm not usually big on family drama type …
