Nearly 15 years after Malcolm D Lee's debut "dramedy" The Best Man became a surprise US hit, the ensemble cast reassembles for a Big Chill-style
catch up. Whereas previously the central concerns were friendship, sex,
ambition and marriage, this time they've been duly adjusted for middle
age, so it's marriage, childbirth, retirement, unemployment, death and
God – the last two in surprising abundance.
Although you may well
have forgotten the particular plot points of the original (don't worry,
there's a quick refresher at the beginning), the rogues' gallery of
famous faces is familiar enough, as are the contrived circumstances and
plot convolutions in which they find themselves wrapped as Christmas
draws near. While the script may be uneven and the film itself overlong,
the cast make for winning company, turning a deft hand to material that
zigzags between bawdy and mawkish, somehow keeping it on just the right
side of sympathetic.
