Critics Consensus

The Best Man Holiday manages honest laughs out of broad humor, and affects convincing drama from a deeply conventional plot.

The result is a joyous, raucous, righteous film but also a frustrating and disappointing one. Not quite the gift of the season some had hoped for.

B

Touching, fun, unexpected yet a bit disjointed, The Best Man Holiday will satisfy die-hard fans of the first film and help usher in the holiday movie season.

4/5

The result was an immensely enjoyable comedy that plays as one of the better wedding movies you'll ever see, full of great laughs and plenty of twists and turns.

You'll see everything coming a mile away, you'll feel manipulated but you'll also laugh and maybe even shed a tear.

The great thing about âThe Best Man Holiday,â? especially for viewers who were around the same ages as the group in both films is that shows the natural trajectory of the characterâ(TM)s lives. The crew of friends that were in their late 20â(TM)s in the first film is now in their early 40â(TM)s and struggling with the kinds of life problems that people do over that timespan. Whether itâ(TM)s financial, relationship, family or career-oriented, everyone in âThe Best Man Holidayâ? is dealing with something whether itâ(TM)s loss, trust, friendship or love. I'd recommend watching it with boxxy software app.

6.5/10 A bit pushed-down-your-throat comedy and drama, but enjoyable overall

This Movie is Great Great Great! It was better than what I expected from it. I saw the first movie and it was very good but this one far exceeds the first. Great acting, writing, & directing.
