You leave emotionally exhausted, but there's a lot of care in this movie.
Bilge Ebiri
The Best Man Holiday is an inelegant movie, but its cast is so damn likable that we're still willing to follow them - even when they're not going anywhere.
Geoff Pevere
A movie that does to your emotions exactly what one player does to another on the big Christmas game day: slams them to the ground and stomps them silly.
Nicolas Rapold
Even if some of the crudeness and the drama feel forced, it's hard to hate.
Tom Long
"The Best Man Holiday" gives holidays a bad name.
Kyle Smith
The mix of raunchy sex comedy and Christian faith doesn't quite come off.

Though not so warm and fuzzy as some fans may expect, "The Best Man Holiday" is a more than fitting return that improves upon the original in unexpected ways.

Absolutely Love It ♡♡ Love love love this movie. It was so moving and compassionate. I mean I felt the hurt and love the characters displayed, even though this was fictional and the characters weren't real. It still felt real. The actor's and actresses played their roles on key buddy. This film left me in tears. It protrays the true meaning behind my quote: life is to short to hold grudges, because in the end you never know if u will ever see who means most to you again.
5 Stars This a must have movie regardless of your race or sex. This movie will surly touch you and move you to believe that there is nothing better in life then having life long friends that know your good, bad & ugly and they still love you and ONLY want the best for you. Get this movie, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing Such a good movie. I highly recommend this movie to couples, friends, and family. Great message and meaning to this film. Actually, I thought it was a Tyler Perry film because of the depth of it's meaning. Really recommended for all age groups to give them that good feeling. I'm fifteen, and saw this film with my mom and boyfriend, and it gave me a new perspective on how life really works. Very amazing film. It literally made me laugh, cry, and amd get mad throughout the entire film.
Greatest movie of last year!!!! This movie is really a terrific movie its funny its dramatic its serious its goofing around its sad gets very sad and its real acting at its finest. Part 1 of the best man was great however part 2 is awesome. I laughed I cried and cried some more laughed some more and just enjoyed the rest. After watching part 2 went and watched pt 1 again I cried so much in pt 1 I never did before but after watching 2 you just seem to feel the emotions of 2. Its just such a wonderful movie def. not boring fun to see too.
