Best Man Down

This is a sweet film. At first glance it seems like a comedy, but it's really not. It's starts with a marriage and ends with a funeral. 

The plot is quite unique. During the marriage celebrations of the protagonist (Justin Long) the best man gets drunk and behaves in a most obnoxious manner embarrassing the groom and his bride.

The best man seems like a nutcase as he continues his drunken shenanigans in his hotel room long after the marriage party is over. And then, all of a sudden he dies! I was like WTF did just happen? How can he suddenly die? He was the life of the film so far! 

Well, anyway, he does die, and then Justin Long and his understanding bride, who were just going to head out to their honeymoon have to cancel their plans. They reluctantly decide to go to the best man's home town and organize a funeral instead of honeymooning and get in touch with his family. The problem is they know nothing about the best man. No idea about his background, family, history. In fact Justin realizes he didn't know anything about his best friend!

And as they travel to where the best friend lived they start to discover a lot about the best man who went down. And a lot about love and life.       

This is a movie about discovering a man's real worth after the person is gone. It's an emotional movie with positive vibes, not depressing at all. 

Yes, it's about a death and a funeral but deep down it's also about celebrating the life of a loved one who has left us. 

This is really an unknown movie with depth.
