    The reason why Lance didn't confront Mia in the first movie about her sleeping with Harper is because Lance told Harper that since he did her so wrong with all of his infidelity that if she ever did the same to him, he'd deserve it and he wouldn't even question her about it. Well, THAT came back to bite him in the ass. 😄😄😄

    Best Man is basically one of those movies that confirms how much men enjoy bragging about the women they have slept with, but they never consider the karma that comes with sleeping with women who are basically pawns in a much bigger game of life. Basically, this movie just shows us how messy men can be just because their egos and their determination for success can overpower their dignity and respect for others.

      See while that's true, it also shows how mess women can make shit too. That was the whole point of the Jordan character. She instigated all this shit and on top of that tried sleeping with a man knowing he had a girl/fiance and didn't even care.

    It took me 23 years, 2 movies and 8 episodes for me to see that Harper is really the villain! He basically thought his friends were too stupid to figure out the book. Cheated on Robin, then proposed in the middle of his best friends wedding, with NO RING just to avoid taking accountability. Like he’s truly trash. And he never learns from his past. Like he’s such a narcissist. Poor Robin didn’t deserve any of this

    I just went back and watched The Best Man Holiday and realized how incredible the writing was. The balance of emotion and humor is unfounded. It's such a sad movie - literally brings you to tears - and then Terrance Howard breaks the sadness everytime with his wits! Lol.

Harper was trifling because Mia and Lance were both coming to him about their relationship.. he should have knew not to cross that line with Mia because she used him to get back at his best friend ..Harper should have known better than to do that... Jordan was trifling as well too because she knew Harper had a fiance AKA girlfriend and was still willing to have sex with him without any remorse whatsoever..

    Lance needed to find out because he needed to see that he put Mia upon an impossible pedastal that she would've never been able to be worthy of. He also needed to feel what betrayal feels like as he had her feel that on numerous occasions. I never really blamed Mia too much for her indiscretion, because as women we can do anything a man can do, but we put some stank on it! To do it to his best friend?! *chef's kiss* And that gave her the secret satisfaction to deal with Lance's ongoing cheating, knowing she already won the game, whether he knew it or not. 😹 What's good for the goose baby...cause it ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun! 😹😹😹

    I agree that Q was the realest. Harper was an idiot. He had the audacity to air out his dirty laundry in a book for all the world to see then panicked about the truth coming out before the wedding. Did he really think the reaction would be different if Lance got married before reading the book? It was just stupid and arrogant to put that indiscretion in a book. But aside from his stupidity, Lance absolutely should have talked things out with Mia prior to getting married. I guess we were supposed to be touched by the fact that he still married her in spite of knowing she wasn't perfect but he was a dog too. They needed to work through past before making such a huge commitment. Anyway the cast was all fine AF. That slow-mo of chocolatey Morris still haunts my dreams from time to time. 🤣🤣 Thanks for another great review.

I melted, I'm not gone lie....I thought to myself, "When did Morris Chestnut get fine like this"? because my memory of him being Ricky (Boyz N the Hood), I was not checking for him then.

    As a 9 year old little girl, I knew what was going on, but I realize now that basically this was just a toxic group of friends who became even more toxic because of a book that should have never seen the day of light.
    I’m still trying to figure out how it’s possible for any of them to still be friends with each other. Quentin and Julian were basically the only ones that seemed like the less complicated and messy of the bunch. But of course, everybody had their flaws, but Quentin and Julius just seemed very honest and genuine about who they were.

    I haven't seen this film in such a long time but the way you reviewed it made every scene replay in my head as if I was watching it right then and there and again I agree with you 100 % Terrance Howard's character was the realist friend out of all them. He kept it 100 no matter what and didn't care how the others took it.

Shelby & Quintin was the comedic relief we needed! Robin should’ve turned Harper down he’s trash.

As for Jordan, she should moved on and found somebody else as well, cause Harper was total trash

    He absolutely had no right to react like that because he had been cheating on her throughout college and she and him had broken up because of it so she was technically free to pursue, Harper didn't know that was going to happen he didn't plan to do that with her it just happened the attraction was there before lance it just wasn't strong enough to override the innocent friendship they had; when lance cheated she was devastated and she wanted to rid herself of the pain he caused her so she turned to the only person who she trust that made her feel special that was Harper; it wasn't about revenge she admitted that wasn't what she was after it was about her feeling whole again and Harper provided that; their bond was something that went way beyond anything lance and the others could understand that's why that intimate moment happened between them they both were in need of a reminder of the love they want and deserve and in that moment they found it and shared it with each other; to be brutally honest I was actually hoping that they would get together instead because they were very close and had so much in common, Bro code my foot you don't expect to be respected when you are disrespecting someone else; Lance was messing around with dozens of girls so he had no right to react the way he did because of his own stupidity for cheating on her in the 1st place, he got what he deserved, it was all those years ago, it was in the past so he should have kept it in the past and just moved on, If I was writing the story I would have wrote it where Harper was giving what he was getting back to Lance; kicking his ass left and right lecturing him on how hypocritical he is in getting all upset with him for something that happened eons ago in college when he was the one being stupid cheating on mia the way he did; she turned to someone she trusted and he was there for her while he was out busy getting his cock sucked; it wasn't planned or deliberately orchestrated against him and what happened between them was none of his goddamm business he lost that right the moment he stuck his penis in another woman, if he ended up losing her to Harper because he was the better man for her OH WELL HIS LOSS; dont be an idiot next time someone else comes along looking to give their heart to you lance my man, both Jordan and Quinton needed to keep their noses out of Harper's business that was there issue; He may have put his secret in the book and they may have been the only 2 that picked up on that hint it should have stayed that way because given Lance's behavior in the past he did not need to know or deserve to know anything!!💯🔥😁😉👍👍!
