The Next Best Thing

Abbie (Madonna) and Robert (Rupert Everett) have been each other's support and confidant for years. After an unexpected night together, it turns out Abbie is pregnant, and they decide to raise their son Sam together, not as a couple, but as co-parents. Their close bond seems unbreakable until Abbie falls in love with Ben and Robert fears losing his place. What begins as a special family turns into an emotional struggle for what is most dear to them.
