Product: The Next Best Thing (2000)
Rating: 1.0
Tragic.....
The best that can be said is that this movie kept me watching...I kept waiting for Madonna to 1) figure out where her accent was coming from and 2) let go of the stiff, tense, and downright atrocious acting. Look, I'm not anti-Madonna. In fact, I wanted to like this movie and I still applaud the theory of a "family movie with a twist". However, this movie was truly horrid. The acting was so appauling I cringed everytime a laugh was expected. If you are interested in a dumbfounding waste of time, watch "The Next Best Thing." Side note: I'm horrified that this was the same director who brought us "Midnight Cowboy"!!
