The Next Best Thing (2000)
aka 好事成双 · 借借你的爱 · 近乎完美 · Det näst bästa
A comedy-drama about best friends - one a straight woman, Abbie, the other a gay man, Robert - who decide to have a child together. Five years later, Abbie falls in love with a straight man and wants to move away with her and Robert's little boy Sam, and a nasty custody battle ensues.
🏳️🌈 John Schlesinger's comedy-drama stars Madonna and Rupert Everett, explicitly centering on a traditional co-parenting grid after a straight woman accidentally gets pregnant via her gay male best friend.
