The original
"Best Man" is an enjoyable comedic drama that focused on a group of
college friends who are reuniting for the wedding of a superstar football
player friend of theirs. It was overly complicated and way too long, but it had
its own kind of frothy charm and a killer soundtrack full of late-'90s party
jams.

"The Best Man
Holiday," which has the dubious distinction of being an unnecessary sequel
and a Christmas movie, all of the characters reunite for a holiday weekend at
Lance and his beloved bride Mia's expansive New England
home. Harper has fallen on hard times; he's been fired from his professor job
at NYU and his last few novels haven't exactly been blockbusters. But his
silver lining could be his former best friend Lance, who is about to retire
from football after breaking some kind of record, but has yet to name his
official biographer… Could he mend the friendship and make a lucrative business
deal? The other characters have similar problems, including one who finds video
evidence online of his former-stripper wife blowing a college kid and another
who feels emotionally adrift after years engaging in the swinging bachelor
lifestyle.In some ways returning writer/director Malcolm Lee (Spike's cousin)
is responding to the Perry industry, which sprung up in between the original
movie and now. There's a greater emphasis on incredibly stodgy religion,
something that Perry often leans on, and the kind of oversized theatrics that
causes audiences to flock to any movie Perry's name is attached to. But
"The Best Man Holiday" is edgier and more authentic, with more
relatable characters and dialogue that earns its R-rating. (Lee stages the
action better, as well, since Perry's films are often a compositionally
incoherent blur.) The emotions might be similarly heightened, but you can
actually understand what is happening and why. It might be overlong,
overstuffed, and occasionally operatic, but that doesn't mean that it can wring
the tears out of you. Also, there's a scene where Terrence Howard takes a photo
of his penis and sends it to someone.Download The Best Man Holiday Full Movie Free.
