...surrounds a sighting of the (other) Madonna. Buenos Aires' walls are decorated with slogans supporting either MS. PERON, inset, or MS. CICCONE, who appears, at left, in an exclusive, official portrait as Argentina's once and future, if unofficial, queen. Madonna, who has already recorded the score, plus one song written for the film, is sufficiently inured to the buzz to appear in public, albeit under guard.

This interaction works when Robinson-as - Parker dedicates a song to a young woman in the audience, but is less successful when he addresses certain audience members as if they were acquaintances and expects them to improvise their half of the dialogue.
