Product: The Next Best Thing (2000)
Rating: 4.0
ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL
This may not be the next best thing, but it is entertaining and deals with issues that most of us are faced with on a daily basis. It shows that gay people are no different to any one else and deep down they want stability, a home and the opportunity to raise children. The other issue dealt with involves using children as a tool when a relationship / marriage hits the rocks. All to often it is the children that suffer and this film brings the message across that no matter who or what you are or what happens in a relationship, think of the childrens needs above all else, after all the children are innocent pawns. So, wether you are gay or straight, this movie is highly recommended. Rupert Everett is a great performer of which Madonna is not, but somehow they manage to pull this flawed movie through.
