Best movie of this year hands down!

Blistering performances.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie is about friendship, three guys Slim, Mike and Roland, and how this friendship evolves from being a friendship consisting of three boys, to a friendship consisting of three men. In the movie you follow Roland who is about to get married, and he is getting cold feet, his two friends Mike and Slim are there to try and get him out of the trouble he has caused for himself.The movie works in 2 different time tables, one where they are boys and one where they are men, you see them meet and evolve their friendship, and see how they became so close friends. A brilliant way to make you feel the passion between these three friends, a very touching movie, as I write this I'm still touched by the ending.The acting is ranging from average to strong, I especially like Omar Epps acting, a very good actor indeed.In my opinion definitely worth a watch, do however not expect Oscar performance, since the actors are not Oscar material in my opinion.rated 7,5/10 (would give it 7, but added 0,5 because it touched me so much)

I am searching for the soundtrack and a particular song which has a refrain Higher. I thought it was by Teddy Pendergast but am not sure. And I need to find the album which contains the song. The cast and script was great for it showed how men grow up together and support each other through some tough times. It also developed the character of the parents,the bride and groom,and the close friends around the Wood. Fortunately, the picture of the close families helps keep the movie on track.The mistakes of the bride and groom seem normal in this modern world.The forceful father made it far more realistic. The diting of the scenes helped it move faster as it began to drag during the scene outside the door when he is being held by the father with his head on the door. At the end when the groom throws out the arm band it was well done and effective.

This is the type of film that you can just sit back and enjoy. The male leads(Diggs, Epps and Jones) have chemistry as well as their young counterparts. The plot is simple and easy to follow. Roland(Diggs) is about to get married, but chickens out and goes over an old girlfriends house instead.Then Mike(Epps) and Slim(Jones) are sent over there to go get him before the wedding. While getting him sobered up, Mike reminisced on when they first met. This movie is better than movies of the same theme(The Best Man, The Brothers, etc.) because the male leads are more likable and less one dimensional, although Rolands reasons for not wanting to get married aren't explained enough. Also, the girl that plays young Alicia is way too old for the role.Bottom line, the narrative by Epps is good and it's not riddled with stereotypes. Also, the 80's soundtrack is great and this is an entertaining movie. 7/10

This movie is funny and touching. It shows the boys we were, and the men we become. Mike(Omar Epps) and Slim(Richard T. Jones) are preparing,when there best friend Roland(Taye Diggs) is getting married. But become very annoyed when the groom to be, suddenly is no were to be found, just 2 hours before the wedding. When Slim and Mike find Roland, they must talk some sense into him, and bring him back to the wedding. During that time they begin to remember about there time in high school together . An enjoyable film. That makes us want to remember our teen years, and really remember the 80's. Omar Epps, Richard T. Jones, Taye Digs were terrific, even the guys who there younger counterparts were great also. The flash back scenes were more watchable then the present scenes. Still a great movie.
