That’s messed up.ĭo Harper and Jordan finally get together? No matter what you think about Shelby, feel bad that she got dumped because her boyfriend brought another girl (a stripper, mind you) to the wedding they planned to attend together. Will it work out between Julian and Candy? Julian liked her enough to invite her to be his date at Lance’s wedding (don’t you usually have to get your plus-ones approved beforehand?), which was happening the next day. Will Candy’s stripper past come back to haunt her? Also, what’s that rule about B-plot characters always falling in love? There’s a good chance! He’s a sleazy dude, she’s a sleazy gal - they deserve each other. Not that it’s okay to sleep with your best friend’s girlfriend, but Harper did give a pretty moving best man speech at Lance and Mia’s wedding.ĭo Quentin and Shelby end up together? Now here’s what we’re wondering for the sequel:ĭid Lance forgive Harper for messing around with Mia and then writing about it?Īs a devout Christian, you’d assume that Lance has it in his heart to forgive Harper and Mia for messing around - an act committed because she was fed up with Lance’s cheating.

You’ve also got Robin (Sanaa Lathan, as Harper’s girlfriend), Jordan (Nia Long, as Harper’s One-Who-Got-Away), Julian (Harold Perrineau, as a groomsman dating the bride’s awful sorority sister, Shelby, played by Melissa De Sousa), Quentin (Terrence Howard, as the gang’s sleazy jokester), and “Candy” (Regina Hall, the stripper Julian meets, and woos, at Lance’s bachelor party). Now with their wedding approaching and Harper chosen as best man, we all know what happens: His book gets out and drama ensues!

Lance assumed she didn’t know about his infidelity and she got her (secret!) revenge by messing with Harper.

The book details an affair Harper had with his best friend Lance’s (Morris Chestnut) now-fiancée, Mia (Monica Calhoun), who was frustrated because Lance was cheating on her. If you haven’t seen the first one (or haven’t in a while), here’s a brief recap: The first movie centered around Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs), a writer who decides to “fictionalize” his friends’ secrets in a new book, stupidly imagining that they wouldn’t figure it out. The Best Man Holiday, the sequel to 1999’s beloved dramedy The Best Man, is out this weekend, and it’s a Big Deal for those of us who have been waiting fourteen years to learn what happened to the film’s wonderful characters.
