Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Next Best Thing”
The Next Best Thing is a 2000 romantic comedy-drama starring Madonna and Rupert Everett. The movie follows the story of two best friends, Abbie (Madonna) and Robert (Rupert Everett). Abbie is a single woman in her thirties who is content with her life as a teacher and Robert is a gay man who is a successful but lonely writer.
The two have been best friends for years and share a close bond. One night after a night of drinking, Abbie and Robert have a drunken one night stand and Abbie ends up pregnant. Abbie decides to keep the baby and Robert agrees to help raise it.
The movie follows the two as they navigate the challenges that come with raising a child together, while also trying to maintain their friendship. Abbie and Robert face disapproval from family and friends, as well as their own doubts and fears about being parents.
The two must also deal with Abbie’s ex-boyfriend, who is determined to win her back and the difficulties of being a same-sex couple in a society that is not always accepting.
The movie is a heartfelt and humorous exploration of love, friendship, and family. It is a story of two people who learn to accept and embrace the unexpected and find that the next best thing is sometimes the best thing.
