Product: The Next Best Thing (2000)
Rating: 2.0
Really just so-so
I've watched this movie twice, and I am not sure I will watch it again.First of all, I'm one who had never had anything bad to say about Madonna's acting, but here she's really bad. She gets better and the movie progresses, it's almost distracting, because she's supposed to be the center of the attention.Rupert Everett is fine, he looks dashing of course, like Benjamin Bratt.But then, the movie itself is really badly done. They had the locations, the sets, and yet it's just not at all good and almost boring at times, not to mention the familiar places we've been at before and the really annoying court scenes. Just how many times do we have to see attorneys trashing innocent people?Honestly, there is nothing new in this movie to make it worth watching more than once to convince yourself how not good it is.
