Sorry, this movie sucks
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Not every sequel does carry a number in its title. I still have to admit that I didn't watch "The Best Man". But you do get up to speed (literally) at the beginning of the movie, when you see events that I can only guess happened during part 1 (all through the credits of the movie that is).It's a nice touch, though we do get people talking about the past in more than one occasion. The movie is a bit melodramatic and it can be predictable at times, but that does not take away any of the impact of the story (unless you let it impact it). The acting is more than fine, actually pretty good.
people who like this movie is who like soap opera ... if you sit with yourself for 5 minutes closing your eyes ... you can imagine third and fourth sequel of this movie ... the characters in that movie is typical with no surprise in their ideas or situations ... the story is nothing and cannot add anything new for the first movie ... even the actors performance is average ordinary ... there is no surprise in there performance at all ...or super acting. then some events in the movie is fabricated ... like the scene of delivery of the baby ... and the scene of Reconciliation between different actors ...weak movie .. but entertaining like any soap opera
Was waiting a long time to see if another part would be coming. It has different emotions(happiness, sadness, laughter) this was a good movie. We had a good time eating, drinking, and joking with family and friends at the studio movie grill. The casting had a great chemistry and you could see the enjoyment. This movie could have it home for some as it relates to somethings that could have happen in reality. The only thing I didn't like was the use of real Greek signs. If you don't belong in reality don't do it for fake. Can't wait to see what is in store for the next part. Live laugh and learn. Don't wait so long on the next one.
If you haven't seen or don't remember 'The Best Man', I would watch it first and then watch 'The Best Man Holiday'. 'The Best Man Holiday' takes us 13 years later into the lives of the characters from the original movie. Make it a double feature popcorn night. Do you have to? Of course not. 'The Best Man Holiday' stands up just fine on its' own two feet. Heck, it soars. This movie is listed as a comedy/drama and that is just putting it mildly. You just may find yourself laughing through crying tears or crying through laughing tears. This movie does what any good novel or movie should do. It takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotion. The script is well written and all of the actors do an absolutely fabulous job of making you forget that they are acting. You begin to forget that you are sitting on your couch as they pull you into the story and they don't let you off until the end credits begin to run. And, even then, it will still take a little time to recover from the two hour ride. Of course, all of the above is true only if you do have emotions or feelings. If not, just turn on a ball game or look into a mirror. One of those should hold your interest:)
