Leave your thoughts about Best Man Down.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPerhaps there's a different cut of Best Man Down out there somewhere, one that's patient and sincere. In its current state, the movie seldom penetrates, playing like a highlight reel of initial intentions. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn indie comedy that seems good enough but never left me feeling I had to see it. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoBest Man Down strikes a blissful tonal mix that turns one man's death into another man's enlightening journey, as both Justin Long and Tyler Labine flex their dramatic acting muscles. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellFinding much of value in this film is tough, but there's enough to keep it afloat. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWriter-director Ted Koland can be a little obvious. It’s not a deep movie. But everybody, especially Ramsey, is dealing with something. And Timlin (TV’s “Zero Hour”) gives heart to this wonderful, nuanced character. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichThe comic scenes are hackneyed and predictable, but "Best Man Down" turns out to have a heart as big as its title character. |
| Madison MovieRob ThomasWhen your film's most compelling character dies in the first five minutes, your film has a problem. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloLumpy is the nickname of a significant character (the eponymous best man, in fact), but it’s also a fair description of the movie itself: an earnest-bordering-on-sappy serving of dramatic oatmeal with ungainly chunks of broad comedy thrown in here and there. |
| Slant MagazineTomas HachardWhile it tries to relate a story about the sloppiness of life, the way best-laid plans can go wrong in an instant, its script is neatly and tidily structured. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... broad and obvious comedy that never generates many laughs or captures a consistent tone. |
