The slap that Jordan (Nia Long) gave Harper was real. He was soo mad he vowed to never work with her again 😂

[@KisstheReviews]

Damn! What a baby! Sometimes you got to take the slap…especially if Nia is doing the slapping. 😂

[@mergingbutterfly]

I'm pretty sure he changed his feelings by now lol

[@Cagon415]

I love this movie. And the way you guys tore this movie apart... glorious. "This is an AA meeting." 🤣

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you very much!!

[@kennycooper294]

terrance howard plays that smarmy character so well lol

[@KisstheReviews]

He really does! Loved his character in this!!

[@KailahUhura]

You guys still got it wrong. It SA-NAA like SINATRA without the -TRA

[@KisstheReviews]

DAMMNIT!! I tried…I’m gonna get sent to HR again

[@alishadawson5035]

Lol I said the same thing in my head..glad someone else brought it up this time. 😂

[@kayhunte]

LOL You guys are hilarious. I loved this review. This is one of my favorite movies.

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you very much! Appreciate you commenting, Kay!

[@margretadams1328]

Lollll not me living in y’all’s head bc of the injustice towards Sanaa’s name 😭😭😭 This is an honor

[@KisstheReviews]

😂😂 Yeah, normally it’d be rent free too but you went and bought the damn house. 😂

[@tDames]

One of my favs. Check out New Jersey Drive, Clockers and Crooklyn in that Order.

I really liked this movie saw it twice. I was 23 . It was Black Wedding time at 23 I wanted to get married. Lol 😂 What in the world was I thinking 💭.

[@KisstheReviews]

😂 If I had seen this in ‘99 I would’ve loved it too! Thank you for commenting!!

"I haven't talked to God in 30 years" lol

[@Brian79]

I love The Best Man. The Best Man Holiday fleshes out the characters and their relationships more. And it's actually got some pretty heavy conflicts. Now... They did a series to wrap up "The Best Man" and it's hit or miss. But the highs are very high. And then there are some cheap "take advantage of what's happening now" stories. But it is worth a watch if you want to get the full experience. Good stuff, as always!

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you! I love this cast and so many of their individual work. The writing was def off for me, like you said, taking advantage of the “coincidence” plot device. Are the other movies worth my time?

[@Brian79]

@@KisstheReviews I think so. Shelby gets this massive redemption arc. Harper and Robin get REAL. Like their relationship does what it's supposed to do rather than what Harper always wants. Lance grows up. It really does get better.

[@KisstheReviews]

I’ll check them out!

[@margretadams1328]

Wait- why did we get a life lesson before the review even started 🤣🤣🤣 you know it’s serious

[@KisstheReviews]

😂😂😂 Sometimes shit get real very quickly

[@Ladylike79]

Great review and so many good points were made. I too wonder how these people stayed friends for so long because with the exception of a few scenes they don't seem to like each other that much. Shockingly I would say that Quentin was my favorite out of the group. They're all assholes but he's the only one that seems to be aware of it. I thought that the overall story and acting was pretty good but it was very funny the way you guys ripped Harper to shreds. He really was a giant manbaby!

[@KisstheReviews]

Glad we did you proud! I agree with everything you said. Quentin was my favorite too. Armando related to Shelby the most…🤦‍♂️😂

[@Ladylike79]

@@KisstheReviews Shame on Armando 😔 Shelby’s only redeeming quality was that she hooked up with my favorite character at the end! But the actress was awesome in Miss Congeniality. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I’m going to put in my PayPal request as soon as I can narrow it down between the movies that I would love to see you review. I’ve really enjoyed the horror movie reviews that you’ve already done 😊

[@Ladylike79]

I just had a thought about the praying scene with Lance and Harper. I never saw it as Harper suddenly finding God but rather him going along with the prayer out of respect for Lance and his faith. He was more or less trying to placate him IMO.

[@KisstheReviews]

You don’t have to narrow down. I think you deserve buy one get one…or two. You know we love you!!

[@KisstheReviews]

That’s a good point! Makes sense to me.

[@angelojojohnson587]

Your right about Quintin. The Kool guy in the white t-shirt. Quintin is honest and up front.

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you, kool guy that agrees with me. 😂

[@MR-DESHON-R]

I definitely had the perspective that Q was just calling everyone else out on their BS. They were all trying to judge him and he was just kinda like you guys act as if you don't have issues too. Lance was a complete cheating hypocrite. Merch was a simp being bossed around by his girl. Jordan was trying to sleep with her college friend who's engaged. Harper slept with his best friends girl. Mia slept with her fiance's best friend and kept it a secret and is about to marry the guy without saying anything. They were judging him for not settling down and having a career but they are more unethical and immoral than him. I came to not view as bad but just refusing to not call out their BS.

[@KisstheReviews]

Very true!!

[@sashafisher6709]

I loved this so much!!!

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you very much!! Appreciate you commenting!

[@torrancegiles381]

Shelby was Mia's sorority sister. That is how she was connected.

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you!! You’re the first person to answer that for me.

[@shaynestewart9297]

Respectfully disagree, i like this one. The characters have flaws of course but i felt the chemistry between them.

[@KisstheReviews]

Normally if someone doesn’t agree with everything we say, we ban them from the channel…but we can make an exception today. 😂 The best part about movies is everyone’s opinion matters and we love being respectfully disagreed with. Appreciate you commenting!

I love this movie and this review! No lies were told. I hope you guys watch the sequel!

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you! The sequel is heavily requested. It’ll be a good one!

[@esjay-rh7wx]

Part of me wants to make a large payment request for a movie starring Sanaa Lathan just to hear you guys have to pronounce her name again 😆

[@KisstheReviews]

😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@KisstheReviews]

We got it!! We’ll see you later this week!

[@esjay-rh7wx]

@@KisstheReviews Looking forward to the review!

[@rxtsec1]

Love this movie and the sequel and 3rd part miniseries coming out this year which shows a lot of people like it. But hey you guys have a right to your opinion

[@KisstheReviews]

If we watched it just to watch a film, our thoughts would be different. Having to watch it with a critical eye changes everything. Appreciate you!

[@rxtsec1]

@@KisstheReviews your a writer to so I'm sure that didn't help. The guys remind me of my crew though without the scandal though we have had are issues. All of us are black men except for one of us & we aren't bums not doing nothing with are lives which to me is important cause black men are usually portrayed as thugs

[@curtis75black]

Y’all killed it !! Loved it.

[@KisstheReviews]

Appreciate you, sir!

[@xoOlliemo]

Find a video or something if you really want to get her name right. Ya’ll still struggling.

[@KisstheReviews]

The struggle was real but watching a video is like doing research…hard pass. 😂 Appreciate you.

[@tamaracousins]

Her name is pronounced “son-ah” 😉

[@KisstheReviews]

See, now…I think there is a vast conspiracy afoot. We’ve done 3 of her films and have got 6 different ways of how to pronounce her name. 😂

[@rxtsec1]

Part 2 explains why shelby was still at the wedding

[@KisstheReviews]

We need to review the trilogy!

[@deionwoods9165]

While I will say u guys are entitled to your own opinion and I don’t bash u guys for having one, but, comparing this to Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is lowkey a stretch. The Best Man is in its own world and I don’t think it’s a rom com.

[@KisstheReviews]

That’s fair. The comparison to Sunny was a stretch but that’s what we do to both illustrate a point and attempt to make a joke. Are they as bad as the Sunny gang? Absolutely not but our show is drenched in hyperbolic comedy. It’s our crutch. 😂 Appreciate your comments, sir!

[@MissteriousOne]
