I think the film sold out. It went for the "Happy Ending". The film underwent massive re-writes before production began which harmed the film. Because the way Hollywood now works "Every Actor" has to have there "Moment' and story arc most likely equal screen time.
Look at the poster above. Thiis poster came to be because "Julia Head" had to be the same size of anyone else on the poster. Also because Julia is known for her smile that smile had to be featured on the poster.
Spoiler Alert: This film should of ended with 2 deaths. It should had the death of the montehr who was resentful that she would no longer be around to raise her children. The 2nd death should of been about death of the new family and the step-mom packing because she couldn't face the challenge of being a co-parent. It also should featured that the children would never "Like" the step-mom and she would never really care too much about them. It would of been more realistic and would of been a much better film. Had they of done a riskier film they would of made a much better film. Today the film is almost forgotten and you never hear anybody say "I would love to see that film again".
