 Total Film - The Best Man   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Best known for playing the unfortunate, lead-chewing Ricky Baker in Boyz N The Hood, his immense physical presence (brick shithouse) give the scenes in which he deals with his betrayal a frightening sense of simmering, under-the surface violence.
Diggs, meanwhile, swaps his role as groom in the similarly-themed The Wood for that of the best man. So good in Go, and the best thing in House On Haunted Hill (though that wasn’t very hard), he may well be on his way to becoming a big star.
A fresh romantic comedy that’s somewhat let down by a wayward plot, The Best Man is well worth watching for the outstanding ensemble acting and the intelligent, schmaltz-avoiding handling of love, marriage and friendship.

 Chosing A Best Man For Your Marriage
Aside from his closest male friend, the groom may also pick his brother to fill the role of the best man. Sometimes, the groom may choose a person who is neither his best friend nor his brother, but someone who is responsible for introducing him to his bride-to-be.
Traditionally, the best man should be single since he will also be actively participating in the wedding preparation, hence this can be time-consuming.
However, it is now acceptable that a married person become the best man. In this case, the groom as well as bride can benefit from the wisdom that will be imparted by a married best man as regards starting and building a family.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Best Man" review (1999)
An ensemble reunion comedy revolving around an approaching wedding, "The Best Man" is a slightly klutzy charmer about friendship and sex-related secrets within a group of former college buddies.
Written and directed by Malcolm Lee (Spike's cousin), "The Best Man" is flawed in its belief that everything would be OK if Chestnut found out about his wife and his best friend after the wedding.
I liked "The Best Man" for its humor, its interesting and fleshy (if emotionally dim-witted) characters and for Lee's intelligent direction that makes viewers think and discover these people's strengths and weaknesses for themselves, instead of simplifying and road-mapping every characters' every thought and feeling with expository dialogue.
