Ta famille m'appartient

What's with these disrespectful teenagers??? As a Baby Boomer this type of disrespect would have you picking up teeth off the ground, and especially if this is coming from one trip with your father and his new bride.

This movie went totally overboard in the ridiculous department, especially with the antics of the daughter which were entirely out of nature for a child to just hate her mother after being with a retarded step-mother for only three weeks.

I could not suspend my reality meter to that degree of idiocy to continue to watch this complete and utter garbage of a movie. And I choose this one for my mother who is a lifetime movie watcher amongst other shows on the boob-tube.

" The other mother" tells the tale of a recently divorced man's relationship with a new trophy wife and the secret she is hiding. A large part of the story is how the stepmother manipulates to have the husband and stepdaughter to herself and tries to break the bond between the real mother and daughter / husband. The main flaw with the film is the motive / secret behind the stepmother is not really fleshed out properly or examined. ( unlike the stepfather 1987) you actually don't even realise the motivations till quite late. On a positive- the first half delivers a fair amount of tension -and not knowing the stepmothers game makes it curious. Ultimately it falls short and there is a derivative ending. The acting is ok and for a b grade LMN type movie it's not the worst of its kind. The daughter ( Kennedy) is possibly the most promising performance.
