It's a great result!!!!

Why do people dislike Madonna -The actress- so much to write this kind of nonsense? Last time I checked, Adam Sandler is still making movies and No one writes thise kind of hurtful words to him

What if this is a joke? Where I live we celebrate 28th, it's like April's fool

DON'T be so excited yet, this is a RUMOR

South América would be great

Mel C is such a big stan. I wouldn't be surprised if she is actually commenting here on MN using a fake name

Funny, emotional, dramatic, goofy, preachy and open-minded all wrapped in one, this movie is probably one of the best romantic "platonic" movies that I've ever seen. Okay, before I move on, let's answer the question that everyone reading this review wants to know...yes, Madonna is pretty good in the movie! Can I go on now? Thank you. I liked this movie mostly because it actually rung original despite already having seen a few similarly themed "gay/straight friends liking each other" movies over the past few years. I think that the leads might've had something to do with that, since Madonna and Rupert Everett really seemed to love one another platonically in the film, and it worked! Perhaps their true off-screen friendship benefited the duo. Of course, you don't really want them screwing in the movie, but their sincere charm as a couple, makes you want to see everything work out in the end. And boy, do things ever get sticky!
For a movie that does a good job of balancing the humor and drama for the first hour or so, prepare yourself for some tissue-time in the last half hour, when things get kinda rough. Of course, I don't like to admit that I cry at films (although I will admit to crying as I watched the horror that was HANGING UP (2/10) a few weeks ago), this movie strung a nice, emotional tale to which everyone should be able to relate. In fact, the film has more to do with friendship, love and the acceptance of people's differences, than it does homosexuality. Don't get me wrong, the film obviously uses this reality as its basis of narrative, but in the end, the film succeeds in offering us a funny, emotional look at an atypical, or typical if you will, American family, in all its glory! Madonna is actually pretty good in it, and totally believable as a yoga teacher (that was probably her idea , as is Rupert Everett, who may want to begin branching out after another great gay, friend role, since I'm guessing that there is a ceiling for such roles. I will admit that I didn't truly buy into a couple of scenes that had Madonna crying, but overall, she certainly did a great job of having me appreciate her as this adorable, lonely girl just looking for the right guy (as opposed to the real "Madonna" that she is). And let's not forget Benjamin Bratt, who also looks great in this film (you go, Julia!) and delivers his scenes with charm. And even more importantly, what about the bodies on these guys, eh? I mean, is it just me, or were Rupert and Ben competing for the best six-packs here? Wow. I am Jack impressed.
All in all, a very good movie that does a decent job of balancing its humor, its drama, its love and its romance. Go in, enjoy it and if you're one to shed a tear or two every now and then, I suggest you bring some tissues. Now allow me to go put on some "Frank". -

It should've been a single instead of Another suitcase in another flop. This song and the marvellous "Rainbow High"

Guy is a cunt. Sean Penn all the way!!

Suffice to say it killed Ingrid Chavez' career.
Ingrid Chavez? THAT Ingrid Chavez?

Her second most successful movie at the box office as a leading lady, after Dick Tracy

lol! Is it really that bad? I've been trying to find it on DVD, but it's very hard to find
-
I only know the Eddie Murphy movies, the pop chick movies, the Spike Lee movies and the Wayans bros movies
Oh! Girl 6 is there, too I used to love that movie, and not because Madonna is in it

They better stan

Yep, it ALMOST HAPPENED! Have you guys seen "Graffiti Bridge". Prince wanted Madonna to play his female sidekick but she turned that down. With those two starring and making the music together, it could've been a great cult classic despite the negative reaction lol
It was voted the worst "black" movie ever made:
-
At least they liked the song
-
By the way, I think she must be a good catalogue seller since she already has many movies released on Blu ray. Cher and Barbra have less movies released on this format. So, even though most M's movies flopped they still make a profit from home media
-
I think Who's that girl is the right option: panned by critics and a commercial flop at the time but re-discovered years later.

Roberta kept a diary. Great stuff.
"Couldn't sleep. Went into kitchen. Gary came in, turned on light. Gary left. Finished birthday cake."
Pages of it. It's got to be a cover, nobody's life could be this boring.
I love most of M's quotes from movies but this is one is truly brilliant
