This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Best Man Holiday (2013), which is a follow up to The Best Man (1999), is a very well made film. Some say that sequels are cursed or whatever, but that is definitely not the case with this sequel. It boasts a great cast, which includes: Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Terrance Howard, and more. They all give fantastic performances, especially Diggs and Chestnut. Chemistry is another big thing here, because truthfully a movie such as this one can't work at all without good onscreen chemistry. The connections these characters have with one another, the friendships and romances, are all shown in a raw way, and it works so well. Your attention is aure to be held all the way through, I know mine was. The writing is funny when it needs to be, and it's beautiful and dramatic when it needs to be. This holiday film comes highly suggested, I had never seen the original 1999 film, but now I am encouraged to go do so. 9/10 for The Best Man Holiday.

Review: I wasn't really feeling this film. I found it pretty boring and the storyline was really weak. I didn't see the original movie in this franchise so I was a bit lost throughout the movie. There are some emotional scenes and the all sat cast did make the film feel believable, but I didn't find it that interesting. All of the individual storyline's didn't really seem to go anywhere, but on the plus side, I did find Terence Howard quite funny. It's basically what it says on the tin, without any frills, so if your into your urban comedies then you will enjoy this film. Personally, I did lose interest after a while, because it takes ages for anything to happen, so I woke be watching it again in a hurry. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie done extremely well at the box office, so there is still a big audience for urban movies which is great for black cinema. Over the years, I've got fed up with these type of movies because there all the same. It's good to see the original cast come together for the sequel, but for a single person, it lacked originality and spark. The director cleverly left it open for a third instalment in this series, but I will be in two minds to watch it.Budget: $17million Worldwide a Gross: $72millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there urban dramas about a group of friends getting together for a holiday. 3/10

This was past my expectations! Never had a moment of let down during the entire movie. I was entertained throughout. I laughed, cried, thought and smiled so much I watched it 5 times already. Excellent production. I watched the first movie at least 100 times and this one will probably end up the same for me. I am looking forward to a follow- up to this soon. This is when you know a movie is well made, when you want more at the end. The cast was beautiful and did an amazing job and the soundtrack was great also. I love the fact that not all directors disappoint when it comes to casting and directing something worth watching on the big screen. We need more African American films like this one.

Emotion Packed, Heart-felt, BLACK DRAMA AT IT'S FINEST! Shot primarily in Toronto, Canada ... this film truly felt like a Christmas Movie! If you aren't choking and tearing up by the 1 hr. 45 min. mark of this film, you may need to check if you are still human! This film far surpasses that of it's original 1998 prequel in every category ... for within "The Best Man Holiday" exists tension, strife, rivalry, haughty looks, lust, faith, belief, hope, seeking, miracles, jealousy, envy, ... did I say strife ... LOL! But despite all of the things the spirit of God flows throughout the film from start to finish! I'd like to see this kind of directing in all Black films, for Malcom D Lee shows us that not only can he make us laugh hysterically, as in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins", ... but he can also make us cry as I did and I'm sure, a vast majority of viewers have & will. The music score in this film rates A+ and the cast members selected for this sequel could not be a more perfect selection. Terrance Howard's comedy, wit, and sarcasm is an added plus towards helping us, the viewers, return from a state of tears, back to a state of laughter. I rate this film 5 of 5 stars.
