I CAN RELATE VERY WELL TO THIS MOVIE. AS A CHILD MY STEPMOM AND I DIDNT REALLY SEE EYE TO EYE. THAT HAS DEFINATLEY CHANGED SINCE IVE GOTTEN OLDER. KIDS REALLY DO HAVE A HARD TIME DEALING WITH DIVORCE AND A PARENT SEEING ANOTHER PERSON. IT CAN AFFECT THEM IN WAYS NOONE COULD IMAGINE. THIS MOVIE DEALS WITH THE EVERYDAY DRAMA OF A SPLIT UP FAMILY AND ADJUSTING TO A PARENTS NEW RELATIONSHIP. I THINK THE 12 YEAR OLD IN THIS MOVIE WAS MORE AFFECTED BY THESE EVENTS THAN HER YOUNG BROTHER. SHE WAS VERY HOSTILE AND DEMANDING BUT TURNED OUT SWEET AS PIE. I HOPE THIS IS AN ISSUE MY DAUGHTER WILL NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH. IF YOU CRY DURING MOVIES BE PREPARED. I THINK EVEN THE STRONGEST PERSON WILL SHOW SOME EMOTION TO THIS MOVIE. IT GETS ME EVERY TIME I SEE IT.
