When Jackie says “ok now let’s get one with the whole family” I immediately want to tear up 🥹 it was definitely her way of letting everyone know that she accepts Isobel as a part of their family and taking over the role when she dies. Great acting, this is a childhood classic for me, I’ve always remembered the song playing at the end thanks to this movie.
I think this was the moment of Jackie truly accepting Isabel into the family. Of her thanking Isabel for being there for her kids when she can’t. It’s a beautiful moment.
marriages/relationships fall apart, you deal with it you move on but you should never involve the kids in anything nasty, maybe thats the realization she came to in the end

This is the definition of unconditional love. The love of a mother, the love of a father, the love of kids, and the love of a step mom and mother to each other. This is what life is about.
This scene shows how even though Anna knows her mother’s dying, Jackie says it’s okay for her to miss her and she’ll always be with her as long as she takes her along. Besides, she’s not afraid for her since Isabel will always be there for her.
On a semi-side note, what a great last Christmas memory to have both women holding hands. That's a very healing memento to look back on every Christmas.
I was 18 when I saw this in the theater. It hurt a bit when I saw it then. I haven’t seen it in some time, and it’s been eight years since my own mom passed (2016). This scene has me crying.
I was raised by a wonderful step mom. I miss her so much. She taught me how to strive in this life. I'm a retired LPN, CMA, CNA. Now taking care of my best friends restaurant as a dishwasher. Can't complain about $11 bucks an hour. Love this movie ❤
I just lost my grandmother last month after a hard battle with pancreatic cancer and fluid on her lungs. I miss her so much. 😭 April 9, 1948 - November 13, 2024 Age: 76
Definitely a great film just sad about what happened to Susan’s character I’m happy they kept her alive throughout the film and didn’t have a death scene and a funeral scene
My favorite scene in this movie is when the two of them are talking, and Jackie tells Isabell "I had their past, and you can have their future." Such a beautiful movie from beginning to end!
I wish my mom and mom would've learned to come together for the sake of us. (Their children) My life would've been less painful and emotionally and physically ill. I love you both mommas ♡ God gifted me to precious women, crazy on their own way but loved us dearly.
When I did goodbye to my grandmother who helped to raise me all I could say was “I am so sorry I don’t know what else to say but I love you and I am going miss you. I already miss. I just miss you and love you.” It was awful. But being around people you love towards the end I think it’s important. This movie has always been difficult to watch.
Julia was my favorite actress for years. Only Viola Davis could take her spot. I still love her tho. This was a beautiful movie. This scene is real sisterhood.
Saw this movie with my stepmom about 5 years after it came out. She passed away 8 years ago. My siblings and I watch some of her favorite movies on her birthday and anniversary of her death (50 First Dates, The Wedding Singer, Stepmom, among others). My brother listens to Kenny Chesney all day on those days. Jackie telling Anna to take her along will always resonate with us.
Reminds me of the last couple of hours before my mommy got really bad in her dying process. We understood each other completely I cared for her and I have autism my father forbids me from grieving her medical team said that they never seen a mother daughter relationship like ours
So many of us stepmoms are never accepted by the bio mother. The hate really affects the kids. And their opinion of the stepmom. It’s so nice that this story shows acceptance.
Without that wonderful song I’m sure it wouldn’t be as touching . And honestly what Jackie went through was tough raising your kids and then watching someone else join I can’t imagine how are that might be and knowing that you might die soon. Her character is very noble and strong much respect what a beautiful touching movie the producers of Forrest Gump hence another great phenomenal movie with amazing actors and actresses never fail to amuse me !
While I hated this character, the quilts were fabulous. I wish my mom, a professional quilter, could've been this thoughtful when she had cancer. The reality is chemo sucks. All those drugs do. I only wish the best for those who are in the real deal.
I remember the couple of hours by ourselves my late mother and I in hospice house. Hugs leaning on one another as we always did all the way till the end 4.35am March 9th,2016
A little thing I like, and I wonder if it was purposeful, is how Isobel clasps Jackie's hand with her right hand and not her left with the huge engagement ring on it.
Fun Fact: When Susan Sarandon was working on this movie, she heard the song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” when she was working out on a treadmill. After hearing it, she said to herself, “This song needs to be in the movie!”
What became of Jackie’s house after her passing? Did her kids move in with their dad or the dad and new wife moved into that house with the kids. Good theory!!
I am so very thankful that my daughter has a healthy relationship with her step mother and is truly friends with her. I would like for my daughter to recall our good memories together on the beach and at every gymnastics meet she ever exclelled in. O hope she remembers me cheering her on at the sidelines at her football cheerleading activities. I raised her until she was 17 years old in 2010.
I was pregnant with our oldest when this movie came out. I bawled like a baby. Cried so hard because this movie touched me I. So many was! I Love both Mom’s in the movie, so much. The bio mom and the bonus mom. (Love the actresses, too!) This movie is beautiful. The soundtrack is Amazing! I can understand the mom. I think the bonus mom is Amazing! And they Both love about the kids so much. (Isabell doesn’t love them at the beginning; but, she Does care about them. She grows to love them, once they stop hazing her….once their mom stops being rude about her.)
@@trippettfamily4686 right? Nice Hollywood ending. Real life is endless nights at the ER, more pain, more meds, more pain, more meds ,more ER, till you have another round of pain killers and eventually fly high......
@@Ari-ge5cp I know I'm late to this, any maybe no one asked my opinion but... it's not a "nice Holywood ending" because we know she dies. The movie wasn't about cancer so there was no reason to show that bit. The movie was about overcoming ego and prejudice and pettiness to come together as mothers and as a family for the children, especially in the face of looming tragedy. It was about acceptance and about passing the torch and building a blended family. This does not require to show a trip to the ER. There are plenty of other movies that deal with it.
This hits so hard. I have an incredibly complex relationship with my mother and evem though i need to be distant from her at times to survive mentally, its going to destroy me when she passes.
I loved this movie when it first came out. But I've never been able to watch past the scene when the doctor tells her her cancer's come back. I had cancer 20 years ago myself and it's too hard to watch.
@@cindyko5138 thank you my dear. Am cancer free right now but am battling a couple other major health issues right. Am hopeful that "this too shall pass".
@01Mary02 and you shall get through everything as you did with your cancer because you were strong and you are still strong! Sending you all my love and wish you the best luck
This movie absolutely destroys me 😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 my beautiful cousin was taken from us at 26 years old from a rare brain cancer and how i wish she could have had more chances to say these kinds of goodbyes. Her surgeries rendered her basically unable to speak her last year and nobody was prepared for just how hard it was.
My mommy was scared for me. I cared for her. And unfortunately my father forbids me from grieving and the fact he made me and my sister get rid of our mother's belongs the day after she passed
I wonder if when Jackie dies if Luke and Isabelle would sell their apartment house and move into Jackie's house with the kids or if they will sell Jackie's house and the kids will move into Luke and Isabelle's apartment house
I'd like to think they sold the house and moved back to Jackie's since it was a house for the whole family when they weren't divorced. And now everything's all fine between the two women and it should be a place to create more good memories with Isabel along with the ones they had with Jackie
In Indian version they even added a segment where right after this picture scene story moves forward by some years and Jackie dead now and they are having marriage of elder daughter where she miss her mother and wished if she was there and that upsets stepmom because she feels Jackie’s character is her real mother and she is not the real mom and her fear was correct that she will miss her mom. And the very next moment elder daughter tells Isabella’s character that she is her mom and she wants her to be there to give her blessing for marriage in rituals of mother. And then Isabella remembers Jackie’s words - why she needs to choose between one of us. I had their past and you are their future. She can be with both of us. The Indian movie ends there.
When Jackie says “ok now let’s get one with the whole family” I immediately want to tear up 🥹 it was definitely her way of letting everyone know that she accepts Isobel as a part of their family and taking over the role when she dies. Great acting, this is a childhood classic for me, I’ve always remembered the song playing at the end thanks to this movie.
Did you notice she held her hand on her shoulder when Susan put her arm around Julia's shoulder
Omg. Me too.
Same omg
Sad and happy ending at the same time. Jackie’s attitude was very noble.
She regrets being so horrible to Isabelle
I think this was the moment of Jackie truly accepting Isabel into the family. Of her thanking Isabel for being there for her kids when she can’t. It’s a beautiful moment.
marriages/relationships fall apart, you deal with it you move on but you should never involve the kids in anything nasty, maybe thats the realization she came to in the end
Both realize a truce is the best thing for the kids & they do it.
It was. Her face when Ben says, mommy, of you want me to hate her, I will.
One of the best endings. We didn’t have to see her die, but we needed this moment.
Who knows? This is an open ending for me. She could have got over her illness
@@stanislaoaquilante517not to be a buzz kill. But, she had terminal lymphoma. *Terminal* being the keyword, there's no recovering from that. She eventually succumb to the illness.

Yes, I love it that they didn't show us her death, that would be too much to handle for a lot of people and me
"Now let's get one with the whole family... Isabell?" that chokes me up every time 😭
😢😢 right
I can’t believe you didn’t include Jackie’s moment with her son. The line he says at the end kills me every time: “Nobody loves you like I do.”
❤️
This is the definition of unconditional love. The love of a mother, the love of a father, the love of kids, and the love of a step mom and mother to each other. This is what life is about.
❤❤❤ You're so right.
That scene with Anna and Jackie gets me choked up everytime 😭😭
That one and the restaurant scene where they meet for a drink to talk about life without her. Omg I lost it during that scene 😭😢
I love it when relationships are healed and there is personal growth and good vibes. That warms the heart and brings me Joy.
26 years after this movie, I still cry watching this scene...Amazing acting and cast!
Twenty six years! My gosh. Time does fly.
This scene shows how even though Anna knows her mother’s dying, Jackie says it’s okay for her to miss her and she’ll always be with her as long as she takes her along. Besides, she’s not afraid for her since Isabel will always be there for her.
This movie just breaks my heart I can't stop crying, Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts what amazing talent 😭😭
I cry like a baby at the end. It's so beautiful.
On a semi-side note, what a great last Christmas memory to have both women holding hands. That's a very healing memento to look back on every Christmas.
Anyone needing a good cry, you've landed on the right video..... this movie never gets old, so thank you for showing this clip... :)
This is the only movie in the world that makes me cry sooooo damn much every time i see it 😭😭😭
I was 18 when I saw this in the theater. It hurt a bit when I saw it then. I haven’t seen it in some time, and it’s been eight years since my own mom passed (2016). This scene has me crying.
Same!!!
I’ve seen this movie Atleast a hundred times and I still can’t watch it without crying my eyes out!!! Such a good movie!
After seeing this movie, I cannot listen to "Ain't No Mountain" without balling my eyes out.
I'm a 6'4" 37-year-old-man. Why am I crying so hard at this?
I was raised by a wonderful step mom. I miss her so much. She taught me how to strive in this life. I'm a retired LPN, CMA, CNA. Now taking care of my best friends restaurant as a dishwasher. Can't complain about $11 bucks an hour. Love this movie ❤
Life is good isn’t it?
when she says "lets get one with the whole family", breaks me every time.
OMG when they touched hands...trying not to cry!
I just lost my grandmother last month after a hard battle with pancreatic cancer and fluid on her lungs.
I miss her so much. 😭
April 9, 1948 - November 13, 2024
Age: 76
Jackie: You have made my life so wonderful! Take that with you too, okay?
😭😭😭
Definitely a great film just sad about what happened to Susan’s character I’m happy they kept her alive throughout the film and didn’t have a death scene and a funeral scene
This movie shows what blended families shoukd be like. Wonderful! This scene brings tears to my eyes!
I had to watch this movie when I took Family Living & Parenthood. It's a beautiful example of grief and loss.
This is the most legit looking 90s family ever
Never forget this movie! My childhood .
My favorite scene in this movie is when the two of them are talking, and Jackie tells Isabell "I had their past, and you can have their future." Such a beautiful movie from beginning to end!

My life would've been less painful and emotionally and physically ill. I love you both mommas ♡ God gifted me to precious women, crazy on their own way but loved us dearly.
The screenplay is something else.just brilliant.of course beautifully performed.
Love this movie! A true bonding between women.
Such a great movie, love the ending. Everyone should watch and learn from this story.
So many soul crushing moments in that movie, and the ending is a picture with amazingly awkward faces. I LOVE IT hahahahaha

Blessings to you and your family. Keep fighting for them! Praying for you 😊. God Bless You
keep up the fight for you and your loved ones! I wish u all the best!
I read this 4/22/24. How are you doing in your fight? I prayed for you
Love this movie.
Me too

I’m watching this and crying. It hits differently without my mom here…
Same
when i first saw this scene i cried my eyes out
One of the best films in the history of cinema 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
My favorite thing that the mother says to Julia, I have the past with her and you'll have the future with her!
So touching
I love so much this movie
Very good movie; as a man, I couldn't hold back my tears
My sweet mamma, I miss you more than words could ever tell.
Everything up to 2:24 killllllls me 😭😭😭😭😭
Because I needed to be in tears on a Monday morning.
Right???? Love this movie!!!
I seen this with my mom when she was alive & watching this while she is gone (lost her to cancer) is so much more saddening.
My blubbering crying over here watching this 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great movie

Cuídala mucho 💕💗💕🕯️🙏 por qué siempre la extraño ❤
Nice and cool.
Fantastic movie.
I wish I had the time for this conversation with my Mother before Cancer took her.
I am always crying when I watch this movie 😭😭😭
This was such an underrated movie.
The ex-wife of my boyfriend, who is now passed away from cancer, would NEVER in a million years have done this with me.
This scene made me ugly cry with happiness, it was such a strange feeling 😂😂
My mommy was scared for me. I cared for her. And unfortunately my father forbids me from grieving and the fact he made me and my sister get rid of our mother's belongs the day after she passed
I was introduced to the marvin gaye song through this movie when I was 10 and it has been my go-to get-happy song since.
Law of Hollywood, she didn’t die on screen, which means she’s going to return stronger and more dangerous in the sequel
Imagine if they had a scene of Isabel getting married to the dad and The mom is the one walking Isabel down the isle. 😭😭
Heartbreaking scene 😢😢
No. It’s perfect.
Ill just be crying thanks
The only thing that makes me not like the end is, WHERE'S THE DOG?! He's family too!!
He was there, Jackie was petting him in the living room
@@maureenmeagher6415 I'm sorry I meant in the picture at the end.

Only Susan Sarandon can make this role look cool🎉
I wonder if when Jackie dies if Luke and Isabelle would sell their apartment house and move into Jackie's house with the kids or if they will sell Jackie's house and the kids will move into Luke and Isabelle's apartment house
Its always a lot to process... these situations take alot
