Frankly speaking, when I first laid eyes on the box with the scenes from the movie, I really loved it. But when I opened the box and saw the mug felt so disappointed. The mug really looks very flimsy!!! I mean come on man, the packaging is fantastic and this is such a big budget movie! Why can't Twentieth Century Fox commission some nice promotional items? No budget???
Anyway when it is filled with hot water, the image on the mug is supposed to react to the heat and show some other image. What image? I didn't bother to find out.
Best buddies Abbie (Madonna), a heterosexual yoga instructor, and Robert (Rupert Everett), a gay landscaper, cope with failed relationships, the approach of middle age, and the AIDS-related death of a mutual friend by sticking together as a "family of choice." Drunk one night, they have sex, and when Abbie turns up pregnant, they decide to move in together and raise the child as decidedly unconventional co-parents. Flash forward several years and Abbie begins dating Ben (Benjamin Bratt), an investment banker. The new relationship causes tension between Abbie and Robert that ultimately leads to betrayal, courtroom confrontation, and a sudden denouement. This was pop diva Madonna's first film role since the hoopla of Evita, she supplied a highly edited hit cover of Don McLean's "American Pie" for the soundtrack.
