Cj M I give it a full 87 it was amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Gleanda J I need more if being honest not Good acting but still good and entertaining and loving Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Angel W Now I am not a big fan of Erica Mena on Love & Hip hop ATL But in this B line movie, I think she is superbly brilliant! I've seen all the fan haters reviewed and they are not being fair. She is better in this than the scripted reality show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review YungKudali It's one of those "it's so bad, it's good" movies. You know, like when the acting, the dialogue, and the plot are soooo bad that it's unintentionally hilarious? I gave one star for that, one star because Erica Mena playing a crazy man eater was right up her alley, and one star because it was actually entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring and predictable. They also use the words babe and sorry way to many times. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Imagine if someone made The Stepfather but reversed genders and races and hey -- we have a Tubi original! Directed by Chris Stokes (House Party 4, You Got Served) and co-written with Marques Houston, who plays Eddie, The Stepmother finds Zooey (Erica Menda, Love & Hip Hop New York) as the titular black widow stepmother who moves from husband to husband, family to family. She now has not only a new husband, but a new stepson in Scott (Justin Sweat, son of Keith; this movie is filled with R&B people as Stokes once managed B2K). There's a scene in the beginning where Scott is sitting with his parents after a graduation party and his mom April (Tanee McCall) yells that it's time for a dance battle, which she wins, only to have a seizure and die. This should be one of the most dramatic scenes in the movie, but either through bad directing, worse acting or the fact that I am someone who laughs at inappropriate things -- perhaps a cocktail of the three? -- I laughed like an absolute maniac. If you love reality TV, Cynthia Bailey from Real Housewives of Atlanta is in this as Vanessa. She was on that show with Sweat's mother, Lisa Wu. I wanted to love this movie. Unlike so many of the Tubi originals, it never decides to just go for it and be total trash and that makes it just mediocre and boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
