C   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "The movie hasn't been written so much as constructed by its five screenwriters..." more... C   E! Online "The film is longer than need be, but then again, it's carrying a heavy load of kids, divorce, romance, puppies and cancer." more... B- Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan "Ham-fisted though it mostly is, Stepmom's script does have a tiny handful of honest moments..." more... C- New York Times Janet Maslin "...a story with enough suds to take care of all your 1999 laundry needs." more... D+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "This is the kind of tearjerker that will cause audience members to cry, but only because they paid hard-earned money to see it." more... C- San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein "...a film that's sad and poignant but not without humorous moments." more... B   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
