Rating:  - Decent Movie
This movie isn't one of my favorites but it's not a bad movie. The acting is very good though I'm not too fond of the storyline though. Overall its an okay movie, just don't believe all the hype or you may be a little disappointed.
Rating:  - The Best Man
I have the VHS, but I wanted the DVD so I could see it better and get all the extra things that come on DVDs now.
Rating: - Quality Black Film
It's hard to find quality black films these days. And by quality I mean movies with substance and originality. The Best Man contains both. It also has a smart, clever script, a well rounded cast, and some pretty funny dialogue. This isn't your typical black film about gang violence or life in the hood. The Best Man has class and style. It's a smooth ride from beginning to end. The plot is intriguing; a group of old college friends reunite for a wedding. Their journey is heaped with dirty secrets, heated romances, and bitter rivalries. Every actor is cast perfectly in their role. Terrence Howard is hilarious as a promiscuous playboy. Nia Long is great as the sultry, seductive other woman. Morris Chestnut is very convincing as a slightly arrogant, extremely masculine, professional athlete. And Taye Diggs is our charming and adorable, yet incredibly naive protagonist. All of the characters make poor choices throughout the movie, but we never stop rooting for them. The movie balances out the right amount of comedy with just enough drama. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:
ANOTHER MOVIE ABOUT A WOULD BE WRITER THAT TRIES TO WRITE ABOOK ABOUT HIS DAYS IN COLLEGE AND TELLING ALL HIS FRIENDS AND ROOM MATES SECREATS. iT CREATES ALL SORTES OF PROBLES AT A WEDDING WHEN THE PAST SECREATS COME OUT IN THE ADVANCE COPY OF THE BOOK. JM
Rating: - One of my favorites and a great start from Lee
The Best Man was one of my favorite films of 1999. The ensemble cast which includes Taye Diggs and the very sexy Nia Long are all good. The film reminds me of a urban The Big Chill which is cool. Morris Chestnut also made a good return to film in this heartwarming film. If Tyler Perry were to team with Malcolm D Lee, he'd have a truly amazing film on his hands as The Best Man is the type of the film Perry can one day make it given practice. The Best Man still holds up today and will always be a classic in my book.
