The Best Man Holiday manages honest laughs out of broad humor, and affects convincing drama from a deeply conventional plot.

The result is a joyous, raucous, righteous film but also a frustrating and disappointing one. Not quite the gift of the season some had hoped for. November 5, 2019 | Full Review…

The sweet 'n' sour mood turns purely gloopy in the last act, which involves a certain football game and the intervention of an earth-bound angel. November 29, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Like many awkward, clanger-filled real-life Christmas gatherings, it goes through some alarmingly rocky patches, but comes together in the end. November 28, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a genially soapy time-killer, though Lee's as shameless in invoking cancer as he is about the catfights and smacktalk. November 28, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. November 15, 2013 | Full Review…

I like being around these characters, and wouldn't mind visiting them again sometime down the line ... It's too bad they exist in a story that lacks the same charisma they have. July 23, 2020 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

The Best Man Holiday works -- largely because of its cast. The actors feel at home with these characters. They are having fun, and that fun is transferred to the audience. April 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Lee's narrative does a good job of balancing weighty drama with comedic moments. Most importantly, the various quandaries Harper and co find themselves in feel real, relevant and grounded. March 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
