You leave emotionally exhausted, but there's a lot of care in this movie.
The Best Man Holiday is an inelegant movie, but its cast is so damn likable that we're still willing to follow them - even when they're not going anywhere.
A movie that does to your emotions exactly what one player does to another on the big Christmas game day: slams them to the ground and stomps them silly.
Even if some of the crudeness and the drama feel forced, it's hard to hate.
"The Best Man Holiday" gives holidays a bad name.
"The Best Man Holiday" has the potential to become a staple of Christmastime movie watching in the 'hood.
Audience Reviews for The Best Man Holiday
So-so. Didn't love or hate it. The story follows a group of friends meeting up for Christmas and is pretty much just about their relationships. It is apparently a sequel to a movie I never saw. Perhaps I would have liked this more if I had. I did struggle a little to keep straight who was who not having seen the backstory. Gets quite sad mid way through, which I did not expect. Also a very unrealistic song and dance routine by the men, all dressed exactly the same. Felt like watching a music video in that part!

So a few months ago I got a copy of this and before I watched it I realized I didn't remember the first movie. So I went back and re-watched and hated it. But me being a big movie whore, still had to go and watch the sequel. What a waste. This movie is boring and a real poor man's Tyler Perry movie. It's not funny at all, and the drama is so melodramatic that I didn't care for anyone in this. Here's a movie that needed Kevin Hart to add some real comedic spice. Instead you get some crap about a bunch of friends spending Christmas together, and one has cancer. Just not a good movie, even Emily was bored to tears with it. If you enjoyed the original, then I'm sure you were all gung ho for this. Good for you, I'm glad someone liked it. But for me, this just wasn't good at all. I'll probably still see a third one(if they make it), but it'll help me sleep more than anything.

Times change. Friendship doesn't. Good Movie! Best Man's Holiday, is a timely-well written and acted movie. It touches on so many social issues people are going through in the now. It is surprising how emotional involved you will be caught up in scenes. It's a roller coaster of highly amusing moments on second, followed by an altar call of your conscience reflecting on unresolved past issues the next. This story was deeply moving and the transitions and transformations of some of the characters was very endearing. The way the friendships move in and out in natural progression was, dare I say, realistic in nature. Overall, the film is worth the time. When college friends reunite after 15 years over the Christmas holidays, they will discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited.
