Mar 3, 2000 · Thomas Ropelewski. "The Next Best Thing" is a garage sale of gay issues, harnessed to a plot as exhausted as a junkman's horse. There are times when the characters don't know if they're living their lives or enacting edifying little dramas for an educational film.
Theirs may not be the perfect family -- but it is the next best thing. Abbie (Madonna) and Robert (Rupert Everett) are best friends with so much in common and miserable luck in love.
