of Stepmom.
Jackie (Susan Sarandon), a one-time book editor, is divorced from her husband
Luke (Ed Harris). She has the custody of the kids and is now an accomplished
soccer player. Their kids stay at her New York ranch, outside of Manhattan.
Luke, who has the weekend custody of the kids, is involved with Isabel (Julia
Roberts), a high-fashion photographer. Isabel is a career-oriented woman, who is
quite inept at handling the kids.
One day, Jackie comes to know that she has cancer. On one hand, she is facing
the problems of medical tests and chemotherapy. At the other, she is worried
about leaving her kids in the care of Isabel, whom her ex-husband is about to
marry. Even though Isabel tries her best to take care of the kids, along with
concentrating on her work, Jackie always finds her efforts as insufficient. What
follows is a lesson in parenting for Isabel and a lesson of family bonding for
Jackie, who accepts Isabel as a part of the family.
