The movie follows Harper, a writer finds out the hard way about the consequences of walking a fine line between fiction and real life. Things get really complicated whrn Harper goes to New York to be the best man for his friend, and so do his former almost-lover and his current girlfriend.
A fresh romantic comedy that's somewhat let down by a wayward plot, The Best Man is well worth watching for the outstanding ensemble acting and the intelligent, schmaltz-avoiding handling of love, marriage and friendship.
Lee comes at the topics refreshingly, taking the African-American male, one of the least explored groups in film, and placing him under a microscope, not for judgment, but for observation.
This smooth, glossy, enjoyable film showcases an impressive new authorial voice.

Ultimately when it's all said and done, Best Man remains always a groomsman, never a groom: It backs down on its promise to both challenge and entertain, opting instead for the easy laugh--and the pat ending.
So much for the under-powered plot, from tyro writer/director Malcolm D Lee, to which the tiresome unearthing of nice guy Harper's previous dalliances contributes little.
