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. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 22 Funny in 1 hour and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/17/2017 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. See more 07/08/2013 This movie sucks Ass... See more 05/23/2013 Hope's (Drew Barrymore) big mistake on her wedding day was sending the groomsmen to collect her jailbird fiance Jesse (Luke Wilson) from prison. For on the way from the penitentiary, the best man, Billy (Sean Patrick Flanery), decides to he needs a little cash infusion from the town bank... so he holds it up! But it's not long before all of the groomsmen are held up - when the cops surround the place! And since neither hell nor high water will stop Hope from having her day... she rushes in to join her fugitive wedding party, at the risk of spending her honeymoon - not to mention the rest of her life - behind bars. also stars Dean Cain, Andy Dick, Mitchell Whitfield, Fred Ward, Raymond J. Barry and Brad Dourif. directed by Tamara Davis. See more 05/18/2013 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. See more 09/11/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
