ReviewsNew York Times - ...Mr. Everett displays a bouncing comic flair that brings out Madonna's playful side..., Rolling Stone - ...[Everett] shows a touching sincerity...

Additional InformationWhen best friends Abbie (Madonna - EVITA) and Robert (Everett - MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING)--who happens to be gay--engage in an unexpected tryst, they write it off as the result of clouded judgment from too many drinks. However, when Abbie discovers she's pregnant, the two decide to move in together and form a loving, if unconventional, family. Everett sparkles and Madonna oozes her usual cool in this drama/comedy from the director of MIDNIGHT COWBOY.
