Silly, superficial and even infantile, this misguided drama about a single woman (Madonna) who has a baby after a one-night stand with her gay best friend (Rupert Everett) thinks it’s making a brave social statement about the makeup of the new American
family. But it’s too poorly crafted – check out the inept lighting – and awkwardly presented – Madonna actually performs a grave-side a cappella rendition of “American Pie” – to garner its argument even a modicum of respect.
