Though Stepmom was dismissed as a contender in the 1998 Oscar race, it's worth giving a second chance to this rather cogent, sharp-tongued look at second chances. Susan Sarandon's performance as a mom about to be replaced by her ex-husband's new girlfriend (played by Julia Roberts) has a lot of bite, and it's a shame the script opted to marginalize and trivialize her plight in its final reel.

In this hilarious comedy about pregnancy, parenthood and panic, Sam (Hugh Grant) has it all: a wonderful girlfriend, a successful child psychology practice and a red Porsche. But all that changes when his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) tells him she's pregnant. Torn between advice from an overbearing couple (Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack), his bachelor buddy (Jeff Goldblum) and a crazy Russian gynecologist (Robin Williams), Sam's got nine months to grow up - or risk losing it all!

How far would an ordinary father go to spend more time with his children?

Free to be the “woman” he never knew he could be, the disguised Daniel creates a whole new life with his entire family.

ow and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house.
