The Best Man Holiday

Best Man's Holiday, is a timely-well written and acted movie. It touches on so many social issues people are going through in the now. It is surprising how emotional involved you will be caught up in scenes. It's a roller coaster of highly amusing moments on second, followed by an altar call of your conscience reflecting on unresolved past issues the next. The movie will have you unexpectedly grabbing for popcorn salt covered napkins to use on tear ducts, then laughing so hard followed with, "what if -, thank you, goodness (smirk)…,you have got to be kidding me and oh YES (I know that's right)," moments. And then more need of those crumpled salt and oil napkins you discarded in the empty popcorn bowl.

So warning! Save your eyes, bring tissue and make sure the cell phone is charged. You'll be calling family and friends after seeing this movie. You may end up seeing them sooner than you thought possible or vowed ever to do again.

I am African American but I don't usually go to the typical Black movies because I find them too heavily silly, religious and manipulative so I was surprised as how funny and heartwarming Best Man's Holiday was. I really loved seeing all of these beautiful Black men and women getting together and celebrating their ups and downs. Terrance Howard was great, I never thought he could be so funny. It was great seeing Nina Long and Sanaa Latham who are great actresses and don't get enough screen time (Hollywood just don't tap its Black talent like it should). Morris Chestnut was also great and Taye Diggs (that's not to say that Howard Perrineau, Monica Calhoun and Melissa De Sousa weren't good because they were). Yes this movie is predictable and in some places overly preachy but you'll have a fun time and that's what movies are for.

I'd like to see this kind of directing in all Black films, for Malcom D Lee shows us that not only can he make us laugh hysterically, as in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins", ... but he can also make us cry as I did and I'm sure, a vast majority of viewers have & will. The music score in this film rates A+ and the cast members selected for this sequel could not be a more perfect selection. Terrance Howard's comedy, wit, and sarcasm is an added plus towards helping us, the viewers, return from a state of tears, back to a state of laughter. I rate this film 5 of 5 stars. lets see more. tyler is creating stuff we ant relate tooa nd this was refreshing i know i watche dit late but i am here now and it was a great nod to black films

I just returned home from seeing this movie. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was everything that a movie is supposed to be. The characters have multiple layers, the storyline has multiple things going on and visually it's lovely. The music in this movie was great. I can't wait to get the soundtrack. But the actors in it were stellar. Terrence Howard was in his prime. He was just so funny and Added perfect humor during the right moments. Beautiful Morris Chestnut was intense and Nia Long is everything. Taye Diggs is the wonderful actor that he always is. I could go on and on about all of the actors in this movie especially the children. They were all so beautiful and so talented. It's a must see.

It was better than I expected. I didn't saw the first one, but definitely going to watch it and waiting for the next one. Well written story about friendship, lifestyles and acceptance. Not really a christmas movie, but doesn't matter the reason, I don't know when I was gonna watch and I'm glad I did it now!
