My Evil Stepdad is a genre-driven domestic thriller that relies heavily on traditional clichés. While it avoids some clichés by portraying the male figure as a threat rather than a protector, the narrative remains narrow in scope. The film's primary strength lies in its depiction of the female protagonist taking control to protect her family. However, the lack of multi-layered depth, such as racial diversity, LGBTQ+ representation, and disability visibility, keeps the story confined to a very limited, straight-centered framework.

Concerned her widowed mother Tracy will be lonely when she leaves for college, kind-natured Ashley secretly creates an online dating profile for her mom and meets Jared, who seems like the perfect match. When Tracy "accidentally" meets Jared and they fall in love, Ashley is comforted to see her mother happy until Jared moves in and begins doing whatever he can do to shut her out of their new life.
