edwagreen A modern day Cinderella tale. In this one, a Ph.D. candidate loses her mother, a pediatrician, in what is thought of as a tragic accident. Soon, her father, also a physician, meets a woman (Linda Evans) with an interesting daughter. They marry and the fun begins.Evans and her daughter Melinda are thieves. The twist comes when Evans actually falls in love with the doctor and tells her daughter that she is calling off their plans. When the husband is killed by Evans' daughter, mother wants to send her away but this brat has other plans-killing her mother and blaming the Ph.D candidate!The plot twists here are excellent. The movie moves at a fast pace and is a joy to watch on the screen. The psychological trapping at the end is a delight for the viewer as well.

gridoon There is no doubt that Bridgette Wilson is a pretty hot girl. In this movie, however, her "acting" (if you want to call it that) is badly lacking in subtlety. She might as well have a piece of paper stuck on her forehead with the words "Watch Out! I'm Evil!" written on it. All that's missing from her portrait is an evil laugh - and she even does that in her final scene! Rena Sofer does a decent job in the lead, but Alan Rachins and Linda Evans (the father and the stepmother) are stiff - they both end up being killed, but I thought they were dead before that anyway. As for the movie itself, it slams you hard with its obviousness for more than an hour, and when it tries for a twist in the final 10 minutes, it's far-fetched and depends too much on the old "I knew exactly what you were going to do" trick.

famousgir1 The Stepsister is a brilliant movie about a money grabbing woman named Joan who with a little help from her daughter, marries men, then kills them covering up the murders and then gets all there money. But, when Joan ends up falling in love with one of the men she's supposed to kill, her evil daughter, Melinda makes a cunning plan to kill them all and get the money for herself. She has to get past the mans daughter, Darcie though, who's very suspicious and knows something is up the minute she meets Joan and Melinda.Rena Sofer who plays the lead role here is brilliant as usual and is fast becoming one of my all time favourite actress'. Linda Evans who plays Joan is also good too. The only complaint I have is, Bridgette Wilson. She really doesn't do a job in her role. She's just whiny and annoying. Still, not even that can spoil this original suspense thriller.If you want to see a great thriller which keeps you interested all the way than The Stepsister is for you and I give it a 10/10.

chsboy87 I just recently watched this movie on USA, and I have to say it is great, Bridgette Wilson did an excellent performence. Everyone should check thier TV guide's for this movie.
