Review of Best Men

Best Men (1997)
5/10
50% good and 50% terrible

If you enjoy quirky, over the top comedies then the first half of this movie is probably for you. The story: Jesse (Luke WIlson) is released from prison and gets picked up by his buddies who are supposed to deliver him straight to his wedding, but then everything goes wrong. The highlights include Brad Dourif as a slightly mad Vietnam vet, Drew Barrymore as the ditched bride or Fred Ward as the tough Sheriff with a twist.

The cast do a good job playing this bunch of misfits and the cliche filled script had me smiling and laughing for much of the first half, but then it goes wrong. We are supposed to laugh at what essentially becomes a off-beat Shakespearean tragedy. It didn't work at all.
