The Next Best Thing (2000)

Check out the all-new page for THE NEXT BEST THING at SET-JETTER.COM















Ok, so I obviously have a love for Madonna... her movies... not as much.   She is much more impressive in her videos, some of which I set-jetted below.   Nonetheless, I scouted out some locations for her 2000 flick, The Next Best Thing.

Here are links to other Madonna video or movie locations and shows:
   Borderline
   Evening With Madonna - Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project
   GAP commercial
   La Isla Bonita
   Like A Prayer (video)
   Like A Prayer (album)
   Material Girl
   Music
   Next Best Thing
   What It Feels Like For A Girl





First up, the house, which looks pretty much the same but has a new wall to block out the street.

Next up, the restaurant where Madonna eats meat (gasp!)...   Yes, I had to sit in her same exact spot.  No, I didn't eat a burger....

The grocery store.... minor location, but I had to do it and it was only a mile from my hotel....

The school... The tree where Rupert stands is no longer there, but a new one has been recently replanted in the same spot....

And finally, the ending scene on the hilltop street.....

    1. Rupert's house is at 2000 De Mille Drive. Unfortunately this is in a gated neighborhood so I can't get access for pictures, but you can see it here: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2000-De-Mille-Dr_Los-Angeles_CA_90027_M13537-74280#photo2

    1. Not sure about the interiors. The house is still there on Google Maps as of their May 2022 update. The only change is the two small windows above the garage were made into one big window.
