Product description
Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs) is a commitment-shy writer and the best man at the wedding of Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia (Monica Calhoun). Unfortunately for Harper, the timing couldn't be worse. His new book is coming out and it chronicles his college life with his friends in a less that perfect light. The wedding party reunites college buddies Quentin (Terrence Howard), Mirch (Harold Perrineau) and love interest Jordan (Nia Long). As the celebration weekend nears, scandalous secrets begin to reveal themselves...for better or for worse.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2002I liked The Best Man. It was a really nice movie, not too deep, not too light, with vivid characters that were very 3 dimensional.
There are 6 main characters, all friends since college, who get together for a wedding. All of the characters are doing nicely in their chosen professions, which was a VERY WELCOME change from the standard fare offered with African American's at the helm. I was finally able to identify with the people on screen (not all of us live in ghetto's and drink alcohol!). There are misunderstandings, expectations of infedility, and loads of fun in this movie. And the dialogue was refreshing, exciting and insightful.
If you've ever seen and loved The Big Chill, then The Best Man will be a great addition to your collection. Both films are similar in their overall premise, great scripts and fabulous directing.
As for the acting, everyone did a great job. But, I would be remise in not telling you the purchase price for this video is worth it JUST for the performance of Terrence Howard, who portrays Quincy. Quincy is one of the most fabulously drawn characters I've ever experienced. As some older folks say "He played the heck out of that role!"
Buy it! You won't regret it.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2010This is such a feel good movie. I never get tired of watching this movie. It is filled with most of my favourite actors - Nia Long and Sanaa to name a few. It explores friendships that have stood the test of times. It shows both men and women showing their vulnerabilities and their fears when it comes to love and relationships. Great movie man! I will be watching this over and over again.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2004As a guy some people criticize me for watching "love" stories but it seems like it's the only outlet from general African American movies. Most movies are flooded with negative propaganda thru street wars or ignorant stereotypical comedy. Both African Americans and Caucasians eat this up and thus the view of African American culture is distorted into simple tragedy. Sure, we have tragedy and the street war story is real in many ways, however we are just as multi-faceted as any other racial group and characters like those in Best Man, Love Jones, etc are just as real.
I'm glad to see that we are escaping stereotypical roles and scenes in film. But this has occured before, in versions like the Cosby Show. Unfortunately marketers decided it was not appealing to enough audiences and thought that more stereotypical programs would be accepted by eurocentric americans and the poverty-stricken african american who is too uneducated to understand that the jokes on him. Hopefully we wont depend on just love stories marketed to women and be able to make other stories (such as the uplifting "Antwone Fisher" by Denzel Washington) that can be as multi-faceted as eurocentric films. Slowly but surely we will arrive, as long as we keep our eyes on the prize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this movie
Verified PurchaseThis is one of my favorite movies and in expectation of part two that was coming up, I decided to buy the first one and watch it all over again. It definitely brought back some memories and set my husband up perfectly to watch the sequel as he had never seen the original. Great product, I was very happy with it.
