The Best Man Director Reflects On The Film’s Success And Reuniting With The Cast

I personally feel The Best Man is a perfect choice to kick off Hollywood Homecoming because it exemplifies everything the new series seeks to uplift. Being one of the first romantic comedies to focus on Black couples, The Best Man also offered a deeper look into the lives of Black characters that many films at the time were not. As Malcolm D. Lee mentioned, these weren’t supporting characters or tokens, they were leads with backstories, dreams, hard decisions, and emotional depth.
