Three years after divorcing Jackie (Susan Sarandon), the mother of his children, Luke Harrison (Ed Harris) decides to take the next step with his significantly younger girlfriend, fashion photographer Isabel Kelly (Julia Roberts). But, when the flaky Kelly meets Harrison's children for the first time, their fierce allegiance to their mother is obvious. Try as she might, Kelly fails to endear herself to her young charges -- and to Jackie -- until a looming family crisis changes everything.

That’s the moment that Susan’s character discovers that Julia’s character loves the children herself

[@CeltycSparrow]

I agree. You could see it in Susan's expression when Julia was crying. I think that's why she trusted her with the secret.

[@jonathancineus6424]

“Not today”. Anyone with a terminal illness should get to use this line with THAT same smile at some point in their treatment.

[@aleahboone4323]

My Dad had cancer. My sister, brother, and I were not supposed to be here because he was diagnosed at 17 and we were all conceived in his late 20's, early 30's. That "Not Today" is so true when a doctor tells you, you have months to a year to live. I love this movie. "Life is a Gift, Death is a Promise. "

I really loved how Jackie brilliantly spun the conversation to test Isabel. I doubt she left those tickets there on purpose for Isabel to find but I liked how you could see Jackies mind work as Isabel got angry over the wrong idea and it was that moment where she was like, "Oh this little girl is going to snoop and stir up drama, ok let's play this out and see if she shows me her true colors". Then the realization that Isabel, a career driven woman whom has never needed to make others a priority, actually cares about Luke and the children, probably floored her. So it doesn't surprise me that she came clean after Isabel let her guard down and admitted the devastation to Luke and the kids if they moved to opposite ends of the country. It's the 'below the surface' moments like these that really makes this movie such a classic.

[@silasreade]

You can see the moment Jackie realized that Isabelle actually cares about the kids too.

[@BallroomXtra]

@@silasreade Oh yeah. It was beautiful. You could see it just entirely deflated her. Took the wind out of her sails. She was ready for a fight and was clearly not expecting it to shift as dramatically as it did.

[@tammychester8750]

Wonderful movie. I get choked up when Julia Roberts stumbles over the word devastated because she knows he would be. She truly loves him.

[@MissLalove123]

I remember crying when i first watched this movie. Its enough of a struggle for children to adjust to a new woman around their house and father, and then to find out that their mother has cancer. ;(

Breaks my heart, yes. :(

[@rachelwyatt6030]

This is one of my all time fave movies. Little did I know my life would relate so much. My mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and six months to live. This movie brings comfort and some good ideas for quality time with my mom before she goes to heaven. I’m really thankful this movie was made!

[@neilfails821]

Rachel Wyatt sorry about your mom pray god sends a miracle ☺

[@Reader1984]

Rachel Wyatt Very sorry to hear to that.Death is never an easy thing to handle no matter whether it's a sudden car accident,or a long fight with a terminal disease like cancer.We know that one day our loved one's will pass away but when it happens we just can't come to the realization that their life is over and we have to continue living without them.I'll be keeping your family,your mom,and you in my prayers.Who knows?Maybe a miracle can fix it.But if not I pray that your Mother will be recieved in Glory by Christ himself,your desceased relatives,and tended to by angels.May God grant you and your Mom all the necessary strength,peace,endurance,and serenity to press forward in hope and in love. To the Wyatt Family.

Kevin Bull Daddy's Home of The 90s and also with females

@@shaylaknight1123 more like Daddy's Home is the Stepmom but with guys

[@MrCodyhoskins]

Maybe she was. I don't see why she'd let her think she was going to move away to L.A. without risking her telling the husband and kids about it and getting them all shocked and angry when it wasn't true. All Jackie had to do was tell Isabelle that wasn't true and wasn't any of her business why she was going to L.A. before revealing she was going there for treatment.

[@koolaidman6251]

I think so. She was gonna let her talk and talk and talk to find out if she's the "evil" stepmother. And she finds out actually she's very nice and good for the kids.

[@Gandalfmandalf]

Good observation. Watching this at 13 didnt catch that. Watching it at 33 recently separated. It hits home. Also I looove the 360. She spins before she comes clean. Shows the "turn" great peice of cinematography. Wonder if it was Susan or the Director

[@izabellas6675]

This scene is so powerful because it really touches the feels as you see it play out. Jackie really tested Isobel here, she knows she’s dying and Isobel is their future if she stays in the family. I don’t think she expected this reaction, or knew just how much she actually adored the ex husband and the kids. I guess this was a relief for the both of them in a way

[@Redwoodtree34567]

I must say this I know Julia is super pretty but Susan Sarandon..my God what a beauty.

She was even hotter in Rocky Horror.

Susan is prettier IMO. Julia is just okay, I think.

My sister and I were addicted to this movie. 20 years later the story, the characters it still resonate. Also I love the nineties touch of it. In small details like Julia"s scarf that t give me a total nineties vibe

[@Wolfmyth100]

This movie is one of the most heart wrenching movies....

[@PowerDiva]

There are a bunch of tiny little things that make this scene so real and believable, which is why it's so good and relatable. When Julia Roberts talks about Luke being devastated, the way she chokes on that word as she tries to get it out. She continues with 'and if...' and then stops herself because she's so upset she can't even finish her thought. This is how real life conversations often go. It's never a perfect script of words that flow together succinctly. The choice to have her just stop mid-sentence was brilliant and makes this scene more realistic.

[@marie-uh2fy]

Omg 😱 this clip had me on the edge of tears Julia is that good she can pull you in your feelings in a instant .

[@sunshinegirl4660]

This was such a good movie!! This scene always makes me cry. I cannot imagine being in that scenario. Talking to the woman who my x husband now loves, took my place in his heart - the father of my children, knowing she will take my place in my children’s lives too????And having no control over any of it 💔💔 so heartbreaking!

[@lollol-vt7er]

Yeah this movie really does teach you to not take those you love especially your own mum for granted. We all should embrace one and another and use the time we have because life is unfortunately short. I lost my Mum in 2014 to cancer and losing her, made me go into the darkest place of my life but i learnt to grieve and appreciate every minute because that what mum would've wanted. So what i am trying to say is that don't take life for granted because you never know what will happen in your lives.

This is clearly Jackie testing Isabel to make sure she cares about the kids. What better way to ferret out if a new stepmother really cares about the kids or not than to make her think you're going to spirit them away so she can have the ex-husband all to herself?

Them getting divorce was a miracle in disguise. It gave Luke time to find another great woman to be there for his kids when his ex-wife/mother of their children, Jackie, dies.

[@Sarasdad91]

This is an interesting scene. Jackie leads Isabel on to believe she really is moving away, but it's a lie. She's trying to make Isabel squirm until she does squirm, then Jackie backs off out of compassion and tells her the truth. She could've told Isabel the truth in the 1st place, but chose to hurt her instead.

[@Gemmarose9012]

She wasn’t choosing to hurt Isabel. She was protecting her children from the fact that she was dying. If she was actually trying to hurt her there would have been zero compassion when she cried. Jackie knew it was time to surrender to the fact that it was all bigger than her and she couldn’t handle it alone anymore.

How scary it must be to leave your young children. You can't really explain cancer to a child. They're not really safe from it either. Little ones get diagnosed all too often. This hits close to home because my mom died from lung cancer. Every day without her is a living nightmare.

[@isabelbeckerman1262]

Jackie is but a thorn in both her ex-husband and Isabel's lives at the beginning of the movie. She couldn't accept the fact they're in love and are engaged to be married. Her biggest obstacle is jealously, and it's eating inside of her. Jackie's inferiority toward Isabel causes much heartache and views her unfavorably as a future stepmother. I believe she wouldn't accept Isabel, or any other woman other than herself and her ex, to be a surrogate with the kids. She has a mean, callous streak about her, and it's her nature to play hardball with two people who are madly in love with one another.
