5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST OF THE BEST, February 6, 2000

By	JEROME SMITH (ft. valley, georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Man (DVD)

This movie is fast becoming a classic. It was well written, acted and the cast was beautiful. Though the cast was of African American actors, this is movie for all ethnic backrounds.It tells of a group of college friends that reunite for a wedding, but the wedding itself is not the story, its a semi-ficticious book written by one of the friends. Why is the book so paramount? Its actually a true account of events that had occurred between the friends when enrolled in college. The movie also gives an accurate depiction of quality of the up and coming African Americans in the entertainment industry. Everyone did a masterful job! I could not imagine anyone else playing in their roles. The directing was great and the ending was expected but moving. I cried!Terrance Howard should have been nominated for an award for best supportng actor. He made this film as realistic as your reunions with your families and friends. Don't miss this!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Gift., February 15, 2000

By	Shawnthlett Thurman (Tampa ,Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Man (DVD)

First of all I would like to say that I saw the movie 20 times in theaters.This movie really hit home.Being a 22 year old african american I can really relate to the movie.The cast was a perfect choice. Looking from the Director's point I can understand why he would release such an exquisite story.I totally believe this is the best black film ever made because there was no violence and the characters were mature enough to accept the responsibility of the mistakes they made in the past.What a beautiful wedding.I personally hope one day to meet a partner as sweet and adorable as Lance Sullivan(Morris Chestnut).I truly hope that more movies similar to this background will be released. What I mean is we need more black films that are upscale and sophisticated instead of ghetto and violence.This film is a must to add to your video tower.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Man is one of the Best, June 29, 2004

By	C. BULLARD "Charlene" (LANSDOWNE, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Best Man (DVD)

Of course I am attracted to this movie because of Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, and the beautiful chocolate Morris Chestnut. Yet another attraction is that these characters are professionals, established, and have a storyline. I am happy that this movie was made. For every ghetto movie there needs to be 100 movies like this, to show that African Americans actors can do more than be on drugs, sell drugs, on welfare, and women showing their bodies. I love this movie. It is great.
