kosmasp Not every sequel does carry a number in its title. I still have to admit that I didn't watch "The Best Man". But you do get up to speed (literally) at the beginning of the movie, when you see events that I can only guess happened during part 1 (all through the credits of the movie that is).It's a nice touch, though we do get people talking about the past in more than one occasion. The movie is a bit melodramatic and it can be predictable at times, but that does not take away any of the impact of the story (unless you let it impact it). The acting is more than fine, actually pretty good.

Cconfehr Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard, Nia Long and Harrold Perrineau. OH! And Monica Calhoun. Oohhhhh Monica Calhoun. This cast is super charismatic and man are they beautiful! They all feel very natural acting together. I would believe they are all very close outside of acting jobs.Okay. Let's get one thing straight real quick. THIS MOVIE IS NOT A COMEDY. I know, I know. The previews lead you to believe it's a lighthearted, funny, Christmas movie. NOPE. They got me too, we're in this together, learn from my mistakes!Although it does have it's funny moments The Best Man Holiday brought the tears. Like. A lot of tears. It was straight up heart breaking. Don't get me wrong, it's worth watching! Just don't be surprised when your face starts trying to drown itself from the sadness. Because it's going to happen. And if it doesn't, we can't be friends. So I haven't told you much about the movie except it's good and sad. Well, I'm not going to tell you much more except that I usually hate sad movies. The fact that I'm telling you to see it even though it made me cry should say enough.So go see it.

jerrilynnbthomas I know that I am late to party. I missed the movie in the theater. I just watched it on HBO. OMG Terrance Howard was hilarious. Morris Chestnut was just yummy. The ladies and the rest of the cast were superb as well. I loved the holiday music. I had to stop the movie to go blow my nose because I was crying so much. By now, you probably know what I'm talking about.It's not often that a sequel equals or tops the first movie. Best Man Holiday is in a category all by itself. I am so proud of everyone in the movie. Individually, they've all done well for themselves. I can't wait for the next installment. Best Man Holiday is not your stereotypical black movie. It just happens to have a cast that is predominately black. Grab your popcorn and a box of tissues and get ready for a dynamic movie experience.

clearthinkernow I loved the characters. Story was OK, acting OK. So why the low score? The language was terrible. Is this really the way black men talk to each other and about their wives and girls? I hope not. Do they think that makes them "manlier"? That's enough reason I wouldn't even want one of these guys. People are going to consider this a "black film" and this is the way you want us to think you behave? You want to be "mainstream"? Then you need to speak with and to all of us with respect and decency. I wouldn't put up with that kind of language myself or permit it to be around my children. Why would anyone expect me to pay money for people to speak so disrespectfully around me? How long will it take for me to just avoid "black films" altogether? How many people already do avoid these movies for that reason?
