The Best Man Holiday, sequel to the 1999 film The Best Man, is a comic drama about nine good friends reunited after many years. Their relationships with one another, much like friends and families everywhere, are and have ... more »always been a bit on the dysfunctional side. While the friends are all in different stages of their personal and professional lives, each is experiencing some type of emotional rollercoaster. When the group reunites for the holidays, current feelings collide with their old emotional baggage to produce some serious fireworks--some hysterically funny and some deadly serious. Like their characters, Taye Diggs (Private Practice), Nia Long (Soul Food), Morris Chestnut (Kick-Ass 2), Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow), Sanaa Lathan (Contagion), Monica Calhoun (Love & Basketball), Melissa De Sousa (Miss Congeniality), and Regina Hall (Scary Movie franchise) all seem to revel in this onscreen reunion, and their performances are strong, funny, and emotionally authentic. It's refreshing to see a sophisticated black film that, like life, is a contradictory blend of the funny, sad, sexy, practical, irreverent, and spiritual. --Tami Horiuchi« less
