Entertainment Reviews:
...The result is easy on the eyes...
USA Today
Rating: 4/5 --
Entertaining romantic drama ponders commitment, fidelity.

Common Sense Media
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.

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

Combustible Celluloid
Rating: 3/4 --
Lee comes at the topics refreshingly, taking the African-American male, one of the least explored groups in film, and placing him under a microscope, not for judgment, but for observation.

...[A] charmer of a comedy with laughs and lively debates...
Rolling Stone
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.

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.
