The ending is a little too neat and tidy, but as far as straight-to-video talk-fests go, Best Men's worth a look.

Horrible. Couldn't watch the whole thing, but moved to the end to see if it improved. It didn't! If you like antiestablishment, if you like making heroes of gun-touting men threatening lives, if you like the humiliation of a father who did his best, if you like lives thrown away on misplaced loyalties and daddy issues.....you might enjoy it. If watching the pathetic and misguided does not appeal, however, don't watch it. Also, so NOT realistic - offensively ridiculous.

49% Although, the movie has a...decent cast, It never really entertained me. I will say this, the Dick (who I don't care for at all, and Cain for that matter), played the best role I've seen him in.

I saw this movie by accident and was pleasantly surprised. A heartfelt and funny ride that is entertaining from start to finish. Also, the only thing with Andy Dick in it that I like.

An enjoyable comedy with fine performances across the board, though the film suffers from a screenplay that loses momentum and weakens by the final act.
