The Next Best Thing
When best friends Abbie (Madonna - EVITA) and Robert (Everett - MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING)--who happens to be gay--engage in an unexpected tryst, they write it off as the result of clouded judgment from too many drinks. However, when Abbie discovers she's pregnant, the two decide to move in together and form a loving, if unconventional, family. Everett sparkles and Madonna oozes her usual cool in this drama/comedy from the director of MIDNIGHT COWBOY.

A movie that may appeal to fans of Madonna, but otherwise does little to add to the gaiety of nations, with its awkaward drama that resorts to court scenes in the hope of adding a little excitement to a bland, romantic serio-comedy.

Well Worth Seeing
I wasn't expecting this film to be as good as it is. Sure, Madonna is not the world's greatest actor, and in a way, her stardom detracts from any role ... read more »

This was an OK film, Madonna was just Madonna with Rupert Everett being just fab. It would have worked better for me without Madonna. You sort of knew where ... read more »

- 30 Jun 2006

The singer, who has inflicted a number of monumental film flops on the world including Swept Away and The Next Best Thing, has announced that she will now focus her attentions on directing. Stepping into her husband Guy Ritchie's shoes, Madonna hopes to emulate the success he achieved with the cult films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and... Read more
