Movies

I am African American but I don't usually go to the typical Black movies because I find them too heavily silly, religious and manipulative so I was surprised as how funny and heartwarming Best Man's Holiday was. I really loved seeing all of these beautiful Black men and women getting together and celebrating their ups and downs. Terrance Howard was great, I never thought he could be so funny. It was great seeing Nina Long and Sanaa Latham who are great actresses and don't get enough screen time (Hollywood just don't tap its Black talent like it should). Morris Chestnut was also great and Taye Diggs (that's not to say that Howard Perrineau, Monica Calhoun and Melissa De Sousa weren't good because they were). Yes this movie is predictable and in some places overly preachy but you'll have a fun time and that's what movies are for.

I am a heavy moviegoer and have NEEEEVER wrote in the message section about a movie before. This movie was well written n delivered excellence in every way. Acting performances were outstanding to a perfect 20 out of 10. Felt real as if a camera was just following them the entire time. Everyone involved in the making of this movie has raised d bar so high low minded individuals will low ball this merely because they share opaque mindsets N don't understand!!!!! Too many times black movies get low rating because I simply believe the folks who are rating them do not understand the lifestyle of beomg an African American. Therefore if its not stereo typical, then it s don't make sense.

This movie really came full circle. I laughed, I cried, then laughed some more. felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotion, but in a very good way, both the story and the characters were so well developed. This movie really taps into what friendship and forgiveness, and love should be I could relate to something about all the characters. Even the title is perfect because the message is so deep that it renews life's true meaning at a time when we are in the middle of the most materialistic holiday of the year. This movie really brought me back, and reminded me of my blessings, what a great message for us all Thank you 10 stars ...Go see it
