edtay Great movie..it has comedy, drama, unexpected events, love and real interaction among friends..people you know slightly and total strangers who interact and mesh well in the storyline. Good cast; and for all of you Dean Cain fans, he shows a buff chest. Drew adds an interesting twist to the bride-to-be. Luke Wilson is again great in his role, he gives real depth to his role. The male stars interact like they actually know their roles and the little quirks in their relationships just seems to draw you more into the story and Drew is believable as the bride to be and has a friendship with each of the 5 male stars. I seldom recommend movies, but this is definitely one I plan on seeing a few times just because it was written so well I know I probably missed a few things the first time.
Drew-Barrymore-Obsessed Best Men - Drew Barrymore, Luke Wilson, Dean Caine, Andy Dick.The plot - Three friends rob and take hostage of a bank on Luke Wilson's and Drew Barrymore's wedding day. They are surrounded by F.B.I. and are on the life and death stage line.What I thought - Hey, it was good although the plot of robbing a bank was like OKAY? It was a little too on the edge for me.What was good - The thing of Drew Brarymore in it but here are my calculations. 1. Good actors were in it. 2. Drew Barrymore was in it. 3. It was action. 4. The plot was funny. 5. Happy ending 6. They named their kid Sol. aww they named it after there friend.Caculations - 8/10 They rules see it today.
mparks This movie tells us an interesting, unusual, and uneven tale of angst, love, disaffection, and friendship. The groom, and four guys in the wedding party, are on their way to the wedding when one of them (who turns out to be the son of the town sheriff) decides to rob a bank, and all of them get involved. It is hard to imagine a more bizarre start to a story. The screenplay could have been a lot better; the characters could have been a lot better developed; the story could have been a lot more realistic. But in spite of all that, each time I tried to turn it off, something happened that kept me going, all the way to the end! There's a lot of movies that can't manage that trick. I wouldn't spend a lot of money to see it, but on the other hand, if it turns up on cable, and you want a change of pace, it's definitely worth a try. It might just hit you the right way.
tmieczkowski For some reason I'm finding that I enjoy a great deal of Tamra Davis' films. I was lucky enough to catch this one on HBO _very_ late at night and watched the whole thing. Dean Cain fans need to check this one out. The plot is skewed, but the laughs come here and there and it is interesting enough to keep the viewer's interest.
