xxihottie21 First of all, I would recommend seeing the movie before reading any of the comments posted on this page. If you are thinking of posting a comment, read the comments of other people to get a sturdy point of view and opinion.I would definitely love to meet one of the main characters in the movie Best Men. Dean Cain played Sergeant Buzz Thomas (might I add that he is so incredibly cute!). You probably know him from his role as Superman in Lois and Clark. Best Men is about four guys who get involved in a bank robbery after their friend Billy Phillips (Sean Patrick Flanery) decides to hold up a bank to grab cash for Jesse Reilly's (Luke Wilson) wedding present. Billy uses quotes from Shakespeare's Hamlet during his robberies, earning the nickname Hamlet. Drew Barrymore plays a small but important part as Hope, the bride-to-be. Teddy Pollack (Andy Dick) adds a funny and somewhat unique twist to the movie. Best Men has it's action scenes, but is mainly a comedy that gradually turns into a drama. The characters are flawless, great performance from all the actors.I have read some of the other comments on this movie, and have to agree that I was also disappointed when I found out that Cain's character was gay. I also realized, though, that if he was not gay, he most likely would have taken the role of a sex-driven man. The movie was straight forward, and did not need a distraction.Also, some comments are complaining about the stupidity of the characters. If there weren't parts of the movie where the characters did idiotic things, there wouldn't be much suspense as to where that action would lead them.There seems to be an argument between comments about the genre of the film. A film does not have to be one type, it is actually much better if it is composed of mixed feelings, which is definitely what Best Men imposes.This movie was most likely not intended to be a really action-filled movie, a really tragic one, or one that you will laugh about for the next week. It is a light combination of all three. Watching it a couple times will also help you understand the dialog between the beginning and the end. A lot of what is said shows up in another part of the movie.Overall, a must-see. Best Men definitely gives you a new perspective on shotgun weddings and comedy/action films.

D C What a train wreck.Watching the opening credits the audience is granted some manner of false hope; Wilson, Cain, Flanery, Dick, Ward, and Barrymore...not to mention direction from the talented Tamra Davis. Add in music by Mark Mothersbaugh and you might think you were in for a really entertaining hour and a half. You'd be wrong.Instead this is 90 minutes of your life you'll be wishing you had back. This movie fails miserably in spite of its passable cast. The script is miserable tripe, with each member of this derelict wedding party recounting their own unique story, one more cliché than the next.The supporting cast features a bevy of film stereotypes; the distant father, the crazy veteran, the villainous FBI agent...even a black security guard named after a ball player! How embarrassing.Beyond the bad script, sub par performances, weak story, and average direction, Best Men never really decides where it wants to go. Comedy, dark comedy, action-adventure, drama; as it flounders it never achieves any of these goals.Don't be fooled by the stars, this is grade A loser not worthy of its cast or its director.

spaci1701 Picked this one up just 'cause I loved the actors, expecting it to be nothing more than a cheesy comedy. And, a lot of it was. The plot-line left a lot to be desired, with improbable situations and some pretty obvious 'twists'. But the characters rose well above the script. Dean Cain, Sean Patrick Flanery, Andy Dick, Mitchell Whitfield and Brad Dourif really shone, taking characters which could have so easily been one-dimensional and fleshing them out to people that we can truly understand. Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson are underused, but great in what screen time they get. Then again, I'm pretty sure that neither of them could act badly if they tried. Certainly not a movie likely to win awards, but a great way to spend an hour and a half.

connielouann I watched this movie for the first time 7 years after it was made. I thought this was a very cute movie. I believe they had a nice mixture of actors. Drew Barrymore was great. She is so much fun to watch. She has a great character that chooses to love rather than walk away. Dean Cain played a very handsome military soldier, that was totally willing to stand up for his friends. Even though it could be a predictable story line, it was very enjoyable to watch. It had true friends sticking up for each other. I think they did a great job setting the story and completing the story. I would watch this movie again. And one that I would recommend to others to view.
