I love this movie. Is this the sexiest all black cast ever, or what?! There's eye candy everywhere for men and for women, and it's all chocolate, yummy! For the women, The Best Man star Taye Diggs (The Wood), Morris Chestnut (Boyz 'N the Hood), Harold Perrineau (The Edge), Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow), and then some. For the men, The Best Man co-star Nia Long (Big Momma's House), Sanaa Lathan (Love & Basketball), Monica Calhoun (The Players Club), Melissa De Sousa (Miss Congeniality), and Victoria Dillard (Coming to America) and Regina Hall (Scary Movie)(Scary Movie 2)(Scary Movie 3)(Scary Movie 4)(she wasn't in the 5th one though), and then some. I'll leave it up to my sexy ladies to address the gentlemen, and I'll stick to the female eye candy. (Get it? Stick....to the candy.....nevermind.) Let me get laser focused here. I love me some Nia Long. She is so ultra insanely hot, and the sweetest. Nia's the most desirable of all the women. I love Sanaa so much. She's gorgeous and way more interesting than all the other chicks. She's the best actress, including the males. Monica's character's like night and day from her character in The Players Club. She's so sweet in The Best Man. She's so hood in The Players Club. I like this side of Monica times a zillion. I don't know anything about Melissa De Sousa, other that I love her and she's very pretty in The Best Man. Victoria Dillard, Richochet beauty, is almost as hot as Nia! In my eyes she's hotter. I really love her. Dillard is a Spin City beauty as well, one of my favorite shows, and one of the most hilarious shows. Regina Hall, as Candy, is the sweetest treat of all.Enjoy watching The Best Man with your loved one, it's a classic!

I'm all about movies that uplift the Black society in general. We're not all from the ghetto trying not to get shot. It was about educated Black folk with successful careers trying to be "normal". Everyone did a great job in their respective parts. Apart from the fact that Harper was stupid to publish the book so early, I could see why. In his own way, he was apologizing when they were at their happiest and little could be done about it. Everything about the movie made sense and I liked that. No holes were left. *SPOILER* When Harper proposed to Robin, that was a little too cheesy for my taste. You propose at someone else's wedding? Tactless much? Nia Long was riveting as Jordan, seriously. She had the part on lock. Everyone was messed up in some way, except outside characters like Robin. Great movie to add to the Black Movie List. Catch it when you can!

A friend (Harper) travels to participate as the best man at his friend's wedding. In which he leaves behind his girlfriend (Robin) till the day of the wedding. He publishes a book about his experiences in college and mentions that at one point he slept with the bride to be. Due to an old fling who (Jordan) wanted a preview of the book for her job. She wanted to have sex with him till the day he arrived in town. The groom to be (Lance) thinking no man has ever touched his woman was furious after he got his hands on the book. He beats his boy (Harper) senseless at the bachelor party. Now why didn't he (Lance) ever confronted his fiancee about it? Instead of almost calling off the wedding. This is strictly a drama movie the infidelity,mistrust and the heart-break the downfall of most black relationships. Morris (Lance) played a brilliant dramatic actor thumbs up to that brother.

This film stinks. I know there are lot of people giving it praise because it portrays middle-class black people. Well hey, 'Eyes Wide Shut' portrayed the lives of middle-class white people and it was still terrible! I think people need to get some perspective, imagine if everyone in this film was white instead of black, would you still think it was a good film? Would there be anything worthwhile about it at all?It's junk. The resolutions are so pat and ridiculous. I would call this film average instead of terrible if it hadn't been for the 'hooker with the heart of gold' storyline. Bleeugh! Thank god that the ambitious black woman got put back in her place eh? This film is a step forward alright (!). Watch 'The Wood' instead, touching and genuinely funny.
