though not so warm and fuzzy as some fans may expect, "The Best Man Holiday" is a more than fitting return that improves upon the original in unexpected ways
the script's sporadic silliness makes every plot turn questionable; how the talent deftly negotiates such goofiness makes the film near-impossible to resist
movies about the inevitability of mortality should have a more lasting impact but the crowd-pleasing mentality underpinning The Best Man Holiday guarantees that it's easily forgotten once the end credits roll
it's disappointing that, after such a promising beginning, The Best Man Holiday becomes just another sugary seasonal confection, although thanks to Howard's Quentin, we get enough sass with the sugar to make it at least somewhat worthwhile
a likable cast and interior-decor porn worthy of Martha Stewart Living are the highlights of "The Best Man Holiday," but the mix of raunchy sex comedy and Christian faith doesn't quite come off
