Product: The Next Best Thing (2000)
Rating: 3.0
The next to the last best thing!
I'm giving this movie three stars because the first hour was awesome! I was even contemplating adding it to my collection! Unfortunately, comedy does turn to tragedy by the third act! And, as another reviewer stated, how did two "BEST FRIENDS" wind up in court with a custody battle? Would best friends really let things get to that point? In the end, I'm left thinking that this was just another publicity oportunity for Madonna. Creativity was not even needed, as aspects of Madonna's real life were sprinkled throughout the movie. Abbie (Madonna) is a yoga instructor, surrounded by sexy men, has an illigitimate child, and has a gay best friend! Isn't that a clear reflection of Madonna's real life? Madonna should stick with the music...and so should Jennifer Lopez, Brandy, and Bon Jovi! God help me when the movies featuring N'Sync/Britney Spears come to the theaters!
