Review of Best Men

Best Men (1997)
5/10
Hamlet or Robin Hood?
16 September 2005
"Best Men" probably looked better as a film project when all the people behind it were discussing how to bring it to the screen at a meeting at the Polo Lounge, perhaps. Having admired Tamra Davis films before, most notably, "Guncrazy", we decided to take a look. A sad mistake. This is a movie that has taken its ideas from other, better made films. The result is a mess.

The film doesn't work as a black comedy. We don't believe for a moment there are people like this anywhere, but obviously, it seems to be the case. The talents of some of the actors in "Best Men" are totally wasted by a screen play that is as phony as a three dollar bill. The idea of watching the charismatic Drew Barrymore goes out the window because she is only seen in a couple of scenes.

The DVD should be a good present to give for Christmas to all those people on your s*#t list. It certainly would make a statement!
