Robin is the only person here who isn’t a terrible person and she needs to be FREED
Haaniyah Awale AngusMay 16, 2020i would say all of taye diggs’ clown behavior in this movie pushes credulity if this wasn’t EXACTLY what writers are like. writing a barely veiled novel about all of your friends where you purge yourself of your deepest secrets & then assume your jock friend won’t even read…
miyasingerOct 27, 2022i watch this movie every six months to remind myself of what an outstanding ensemble cast looks like

Renaming this The Best Infidelity, because damn all of them were just cheating left and right. Besides the misogyny, clownery, and cheating, this was nice to look at! P.S. if anyone proposes to someone else at my wedding, they’re getting slapped
lexAug 31, 2021highly misogynistic, but there’s something very charming about this movie. also, I was LIVING for the drama lol
TaylorJun 20, 2021It’s one thing to sleep with the bride of your best friend and then write a book about it, but to propose to your girlfriend at someone else’s wedding? Menace to society

men will cheat on you 3000 times and expect you to forgive them but when you cheat back they start shaking and crying and get flashbacks of you cheating while they recite wedding vows to you

ZaraGwenApr 19, 2024Objectively speaking, Terrence Howard playing a guitar on his shoulder is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my entire life.

- Asran4ever is "meh" onThe Best Man
This is no romcom tf harper wanted to hookup with jordan hours before proposing to robin 🤦🏽♀️ he is the worst all the other characters are amazing i lovee terrence
Projecting Film likedThe Best ManTerrence Howard should never be the voice of reason in the room but he is charming as the master of ceremonies for awkward encounters.
Jay Singley likedThe Best ManHaper was a self-centered man, he did everything for his own gain. But other than his character the movie was really enjoyable!
- Lilly dislikedThe Best Man
Too many gross, misogynistic comments by characters we’re supposed to like
cassius casanova is "meh" onThe Best Mana typical 90’s bird brain flick with themes of misogyny, slight homophobia, infidelity, and hypocrisy. i’ll give it credit for at least pointing out the hypocrisy in the cheating. two male leads see women as inferior to men yet you’re supposed to not care because “they’re fine”
Dead Hero or Alive Villain is "meh" onThe Best Manehm. Yk It is a fun (MESSY) movie. But genuinely Harper is such a terrible person. Everyone is okay with cheating. And this whole friendgroup is insanely weird. - Terrence Howard was the best part of the movie btw. Just to add. Incredible cast tho
- Shiv Reddy lovedThe Best Man
An all time favorite - so many quotable lines and just a great, messy, complex rom com that featured so many iconic actors it’s hard to believe it’s real. Paved the way for so many after!

They're all too old to be considered a black brat pack, but you get a feeling The Best Man will lead to even better.

Miami Herald
Overall, this smooth, glossy, enjoyable film showcases an impressive new authorial voice.
Emanuel Levy
Variety
Funny, sentimental, cheerfully bawdy story of a wedding reunion that stirs up a hornet's nest of old loves, lusts and jealousies.
