The Best Man Holiday

Theeee best movie! All year around since 2013

I believe their rating should've been higher. This was an excellent film that succeeded in making you laugh, cry, and was very relatable, allowing one to reflect and see themselves, friends/family through the lense of this film. The actors and actresses did a phenomenal job and the chemistry was undeniable. Grab some popcorn and enjoy, you're in for a treat!

It has to be one of the most long awaited sequels in cinema Malcolm D. Lee assembles much of the original cast from Best Mans Wedding from 1999 Nia Long, Taye Diggs, Melissa de Sousa, Regina Hall, Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Monica Calhoun, and Harold Perrineau This time the story is centered around Christmas with everyone coming back for a reunion Mia has sent invitations to them, Harper is struggling as a successful author so he might be forced to write about his friends to make it big, Julian is having conflicting thoughts considering his wife Cadace's former profession, Jordan has a new boyfriend who always travels, Lance is a successful athlete but his wife Mia is sick, and Shelby is a successful reality tv star with a daughter who can't help but flaunt herself All kinds of shenanigans ensue in the house they're all staying in with big secrets and reveals in the process Quentin is the voice of reason as it turns out pointing out these people have mistakes in their lives A lot of it is predictable, disjointed, and suffers tonal shifts but this has so much heart and give credit to the actors making it stand out They really embrace these characters making it an entertaining watch A very worthy follow-up to the original even 10 years later

No better or worse than the original.

Morris Chestnut brings to the surface the children created with other women and how prayer and fasting molded the family in the strength that is displayed Peacock and best Man Chronicles should be made available on Tubi, Pluto TV, FreeVee, Crackle, YouTube.com

3 & 1/4 stars. Watched it for the gorgeous black actors. Stayed for the good humor & believable relationships.

Nothing like the 1st movie… This movie is so depressing. I was so excited to watch it thinking I was going to laugh like I did with the first one, and I ended up depressing as hell.

Friendship is hard and marriage and parenthood are harder. This movie shows a group of friends navigating all that mostly not so well but in the end they are closer than ever. Uplifting and engaging.

The Best Man Holiday takes a surprising turn towards drama halfway through and has good performances from its actors but the screenplay isn't always the best and I felt like I was locked out of the loop for a bit since I went into this film expecting a standard Christmas movie without realising that it's a sequel. I don't have any strong feelings about this movie but don't have much of a desire to watch it again. Though I will look at the first film sometime in 2022 but I suggest waiting a few months for a review to pop up.

Classic, great ending to the original film. Story, cast and production really on point.
