Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The Best Man is a decent character driven effort and a light night out at the movies.

Combustible Celluloid
Ultimately when it's all said and done, Best Man remains always a groomsman, never a groom: It backs down on its promise to both challenge and entertain, opting instead for the easy laugh--and the pat ending.

The themes and characters are brought to the screen with the kind of energy and appeal that viewers of any background can appreciate.

A genial ensemble film.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
A fresh romantic comedy that's somewhat let down by a wayward plot, The Best Man is well worth watching for the outstanding ensemble acting and the intelligent, schmaltz-avoiding handling of love, marriage and friendship.

Product Description:
Taye Diggs plays Harper, a writer who's about to explode into the mainstream. Leaving behind his girlfriend Robin (Sanaa Lathan), he heads to New York City to serve as best man for his friend Lance's wedding (Chestnut). Once there, he reunites with the rest of his college circle: the girlfriend-whipped Murch (Harold Perrineau, Jr.), the aimless Quentin (Howard, who runs away with every scene he's in), and the professionally motivated Jordan (Long), with whom Harper has always shared a mutual sexual attraction. As the weekend unfolds, each member of the group has their turn reading UNFINISHED BUSINESS, something that Harper doesn't want to happen--for reasons that eventually introduce themselves. A film that focuses on serious human issues, Malcolm D. Lee's directorial debut is a crowdpleasing success.
