Movie Reviews of The Best Man
Movie Review: Best Man ~ A Classic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Best Man is a great movie. For Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, and Terrence Howard, it is truly one of the highlights of their careers. It has a great blend of comedy and drama and a handful of moments you'll be bringing up in "Remember when" conversation for years to come. And as for movies that center around relationship drama, this movie is for guys too. This is the type of chick-movie that will get guys laughing outloud at the screen and getting sucked into the "What's going to happen next" drama. The icing on the cake is that it shows African-Americans in a positive light, with careers and identities that ate not stereotypical; and even the characters that aren't the most inspiring, by the end of the movie you'll take pride in their triumph and be rooting for them all. The Best Man is truly a great movie. One to add to any collection.
Summary of The Best Man
A wedding is a joyous occasion to celebrate with lifelong friends. The best man has written a new book that chronicles his college life and can put a damper on the festivities by shedding less than a perfect light on some of his college buddies. Features: production notes and much more. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 03/28/2006 Starring: Taye Diggs Nia Long Run time: 121 minutes Rating: RA glossy romantic comedy, The Best Man centers on four college friends and the women in their lives, all brought back together for a wedding. Taye Diggs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) plays the title character, a young writer whose first novel is a barely fictionalized account of his college days, featuring barely fictionalized versions of all his friends. This novel hasn't yet been released, but ambitious TV producer Nia Long (Soul Food) has snagged an advance copy in the hopes of getting an early interview with Diggs. Unfortunately, when this advance copy begins circulating among the college gang, they discover it reveals some secrets that may have a disastrous effect on the wedding. The Best Man features a handsome, charming cast and a propulsive story, but the female characters are poorly developed and the male banter is, to say the least, chauvinistic. This banter is mostly to comic effect, but by the end it still leaves a sour taste that the movie's happy ending doesn't counter. With a particularly strong performance by Terrence Howard as an aimless but relentlessly honest member of the college quartet. --Bret Fetzer
