When a group of old college friends get together on the eve of a wedding, relationship drama—between the couples and friends alike—explodes in the beloved romantic comedy by Malcolm D. Lee. Featuring an all-star cast including Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, and Terrence Howard and a Billboard-topping soundtrack featuring Ginuwine, The Roots, and Lauryn Hill, The Best Man is quintessential late ’90s excellence.
