http://forum.gmx.com - The original Best Man was an enjoyable comedic drama that focused on a group of college friends who are reuniting for the wedding of a superstar football player friend of theirs. It was overly complicated and way too long but it had its own kind of frothy charm and a killer soundtrack full of late 90s party jams. In many ways it functioned as a kind of African American answer to The Big Chill except with extensive college era flashbacks featuring Morris Chestnut in a do rag.tice and some of the drugs he found and sold were later proved to be of help to AIDS patients.The titular best man of the first film Harper was a young novelist whose first book was about to be published. In typical comedic fashion the novel was based on the group of friends and their college lives including lothario Quentin nebbish Julian and of course the groom himself Lance.
