let me begin by say that i enjoy this movie . it be a light way ( despite a few dark moment ) to spend a couple of hour and but i wouldn not nominate it for any oscar and nor would i compare it to the work of shakespeare a a previous reviewer have . if you want to and you could speak a highly of any film . all this would accomplish be to dilute the praise deserving of the real great ( if youre think armageddon and stop reading now . ) let call best men what it really be and a fun little flic . there some gunplay and a car chase and a guy who get the girl and a moment of revelation for a would be lose friend and and a good help of comic relief and with an end reminiscent of richard gere in breathless . i enjoy it and but just because a character be endearingly nicknamed hamlet and and there a few ( well act ) verse recite and best men be no shakespearean work . let call a spade a spade but reserve the real praise for the like of citizen kane and lawrence of arabia and or even titanic .
