5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Best Thing (1999), Jan 13 2004

By

Chad DeFeo "(ChandlerBingFan)" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Next Best Thing (Widescreen) (DVD)

Some people thought this movie sucked. Man, are they wrong. This movie was excellent. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't too thrilled with Rupert Everett's performance, but Madonna's performance was spectacular, as usual.

Madonna plays Abbie Reynolds, a yoga instructer, whose boyfriend has just left her. She goes to her best friend, Robert (played by Rupert Everett) for a way to get over this. One night, the two become lovers. Abbie then finds out that she's pregnant, and Robert is the father. But Robert is also... gay. Seven years later, while getting ready to do a yoga class, Abbie meets Ben, a charming guy who is very interested in Abbie. The two begin dating. Ben decides that he wants to marry Abbie and it makes Robert furious because he does not want anyone taking his place as Sam's father.

If any one of you took the advice from the one's who said that this movie sucked, give that advice back. This movie did not suck. It has a real good storyline and it's a movie that everyone can enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Read The Reviews!, July 12 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Next Best Thing (Widescreen) (DVD)

i am not actually a fan of madge although i do hear about her.Anyways, i went into this movie without any exceptation and i was blown away. The movie is awesome. it was stuck in my memory long after i watched it. The emotion and the laughs it brings is real. Madge may not be the best actress in the world but she really hit this movie hard and i prefer to watch it any day than Evita. Pls, don't read the reviews just buy or rent it and you will be surprised.

4.0 out of 5 stars i loved it..., July 1 2003

This review is from: The Next Best Thing (Widescreen) (DVD)

Personally, i've seen the movie a million times and I really liked it. It's not a classic or anything like that, but it the kind of film that you could hang out with you friends watching. I liked Madonna's acting and Rupert was cool too.

"Chosen Family" is an important concept to gay and lesbian people. Abbie (Madonna), a straight yoga instructor, and Robert (Rupert Everett), a gay landscaper, are best friends... Read more
