The Story:
13 years have passed since The Best Man, and this movie picks up by bringing all of the gang back together for a holiday get together. New secrets will be revealed and will time finally heal the old wounds in time for these friends to put their relationships back on track before tragedy strikes the group?
As the movie began, they used bits from the original film to remind us who the characters are, and what happened when last we saw them.
I'm now not sure if I ever got around to seeing that film.
However, they do a really good job of playing catch-up, so I don't really feel like I missed anything from that film.
It's both unheard of, and impressive that Lee was able to reassemble the cast for another go-round after a decade and some change has passed between films.
That's a testament both to him as a filmmaker and the cast for wanting to come back to these characters.
Be advised, for all the fun that the trailer promised, there is some heartbreak coming your way in the third act.
Final Grade: B-/C+ range
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Once was good for this one.
