Seite an Seite (1998)

Seite an Seite: Directed by Chris Columbus. With Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Ed Harris, Jena Malone. A terminally-ill woman must deal with her ex-husband’s new lover, who will be their children’s stepmother.

“A sweet and honest movie. Itu0026#39;s definitely a family film. I liked the relationship of having to fill someoneu0026#39;s shoes in a sense, because people are so attached to them. Sarandon was awesome of course. She carried her part with grace and the feral intensity of a mama bear. Nothing got over on her and I liked that because she wasnu0026#39;t going to be around much longer. It wasnu0026#39;t about sizing up the competition, but making sure she was the right person her kids could grow up with instead of her. It was heartfelt and real. Great film.”
