 The Best Man (DVD)
 The Best Man (DVD) ... DVD: Full Screen, PAL / A glossy romantic comedy, The Best Man centres on four college friends and the women in their lives, all brought back together for a wedding. Taye Diggs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) plays the title character, a young writer whose first novel is a barely fictionalised account of his college days, featuring barely fictionalised versions of all his friends. This novel hasn't yet been released, but ambitious TV producer Nia Long (Soul Food) has snagged an advance copy in the hopes of getting an early interview with Diggs. Unfortunately, when this advance copy begins circulating among the college gang, they discover it reveals some secrets that may have a disastrous effect on the wedding. The Best Man features a handsome, charming cast and a propulsive story, but the female characters are poorly developed and the male banter is, to say the least, chauvinistic. This banter is mostly to comic effect, but by the end it still leaves a sour taste that the movie's happy ending doesn't counter. It does at least feature a particularly strong performance by Terrence Howard as an aimless but relentlessly honest member of the college quartet. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.comNewest Review: ... but that doesn't matter, I still loved it.

Its portrayal of African-Americans is very positive a...more |

The last film I can remember that kept me smiling throughout was `Notting Hill.' What `Notting Hill' and `The Best Man' have in common is that they are well written, sweet and funny romantic comedies with charming performances, the two best of its genre to come out this year. `The Best Man' wasn't as good as `Notting Hill,' but that doesn't matter, I still loved it. The film stars Taye Diggs, who has been a very busy boy lately. He has been in four films in the last seven months and I hope he doesn't suffer from overexposure because he is a very talented actor.
