This movie changed its tone in a vary subtle way from begining to end. i laughed cried smiled and fell in love with this movie by the end. this is not what i expected when i started this movie. but as the movie progressed it kept surprising me. worth your time if you want to see a feel good movie witha heart. bcz this one definiely has a big heart.

a overlooked movie that hasn't been given nearly enough credit. a gentle, low key story about the interconnection between people and the importance that we usually never know we have to someone else. you may think you know where it's going, but you don't. there are subtle twists and unexpected bits that make you "feel" and want to know more. it's not easy to confine the movie into a specific genre, but i can say that it's a soft spoken movie with significant power to remind you that even though life is often truly messed up, and people are usually not who you think they are... sometimes it's exactly the way things are supposed to be.

Originally it was known as 'Lumpy', but this new title seems much better. Even though this title name is somewhat misleading regarding the film subject. I saw it a couple of years delayed, because I was not interested after knowing the title thinking it might be some kind of a silly B comedy. Surprisingly, this was one of the best films of the 2013 I've seen. This is not a comedy alone as it was classified, but a beautiful semi-emotional drama just like the film 'The Guilt Trip'. The cast was so good, I loved everyone's performances. But in the opening, it looked like a mindless comedy with dumb characters. Only while the film progress, it slowly developed many awesome plots and I was totally impressed with it, especially for the way it ended. Yep, it concluded on a high note compared to the ordinary initiation. I think credit should go the writer-come-director, as well as the actors. It was a two layered narration that sets in two different cities where one of it was a flashback, but both of them meets during the middle. So what comes later was the best segment. The second half is what made this film a better product. This is not an extraordinary film, but for a small project and its not so popular cast, it really excelled my expectation. Well maintained suspense, and I don't think anybody could guess them out that easily. Till the final scene, it'll keep you alive, especially if you like melodrama you'll surely enjoy it better than others. Lately Justin Long has been doing some of the interesting small-scale films and this is one of them that you should try it if you're a film fanatic without barriers in viewing any category films. 7.5/10

The movie is basically about a happy-go-lucky guy, Lumpy. After the wedding at which he was the best man, he got drunk and fell. On getting up he had a heart attack and "died on a cactus"(constant reference was made to this phrase during the movie). His death made his long-term friends realize that Lumpy had given up a lot to make others happy. He dropped out of law school to spend his last days happy. Ramsey was his last new acquaintance with whom he made a very special connection. He visited her every weekend over a period of 9 months and even opted to take her to his place to start college one year early. The movie is a very warm one. You learn what love really is. Lumpy was happy and he spread it out whether you wanted to get it or not. I must say the casting was really good and the actors played out their parts just right! Ramsey did a great job though and I hope to see her in more movie productions in future. If you've not seen this movie, forgotten what true love entails, miss good friends or simply wanna have a good time I advice you go see this movie or just get a disc or something. Its worth the time.

Do you remember in English class when the teacher would ask you "What is the author's purpose?"; is it to entertain, give information, tell an important story, teach a moral? I think this film seemed to lack an author's purpose. There is no doubt that it is well done and has a great cast. The characters are interesting and the plot could be funny and moving if it just had a purpose. It just feels like a story. "We did this, and then this happened, and then they all lived happily ever after." I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, but I just didn't get anything out of it. There wasn't a moral or a lesson to be learned from it. There was some real potential there. They could've had a very well set up comedy, or a thoughtful romance but instead it just felt like a flat drama with no end game. It sad really. I was expecting more from it.

I saw the trailer of this movie on youtube a weeks ago and I got interested in checking out the film which I did finally last nite. It was 130 mins well spent. Best Man Down is an unlikely tale when the Best Man of Scott & Kristin's (played by Long and Weixler) marriage, Lumpy (Labine) dies just after the reception has ended. Lumpy has not many friends and the newly wed couple are now arranging the funeral in Minnesota instead on going on their honeymoon. During all this, they find out of that Lumpy had another one friend called Ramsey (Timlin) in Minnesota who turns out to be a 15 yr old girl studying in high school. Who is Ramsey? How does she know Lumpy? What was her relationship with Lumpy? And lots of other questions bothers the newly wed couple and especially Scott who wonders did he really know Lumpy whom he met in high school. Best Man Down works because of its unusual story and simplistic screenplay. Its a slow film and one needs a bit of patience in the beginning. But it grows over you as it progresses and the reason being the writers make Lumpy and Ramsey's relationship a suspense. Even in the scenes where the couple fight or Ramsey fights with her mother, the writers and directors keep the tone low and it never goes over the top. The casting is perfect. Long and Weixler are perfect as the newly wed couple who are trying to make their marriage work after Lumpy's death. Labine is effective in his short role as Lumpy and special mention to Shelly Long who plays Kristin's mother. Her character gets the smile on our faces in this serious film with her out of place dialogues. However, the star of the this film is Timlin. I have seen Timlin in Californication before and I was not sure what kind of actress she is . After watching this film, I can easily say that she is a fine actress in the making. Timlin is in her early 20s but portrays the 15 yr old Ramsey with ease. Her character longs to be loved and cared and you feel for her. The scene where she comes to know about Lumpy's death is brilliant. She initially doesn't react much to the surprise of the couple but when alone, she breaks down. I hope she gets better films to do in the future because there is talent in her to be explored. I wonder how this film was missed by the awards in US. This is under rated romance classic because there is no physical love...just unspoken love between two people. This film deserved a couple of nominations of its screenplay.

Best Man Down is a light drama which follows a couple whose honeymoon is cancelled after the death of the best man. It sounded an interesting plot and as a fan of Justin Long I was looking forward to seeing it. This is a well shot film with interesting characters and a nice sharp script. It contains a nice mix of humour and a number of quite sad moments. The cast is mainly excellent especially from Justin Long and Jess Weixler who have a great chemistry as the young couple. Tyler Labine is very charismatic as the Best Man. Although maybe a bit far fetched this is nevertheless a really enjoyable drama that is always entertaining. The only downsides to me was the relationship between Ramsey and her mother which never quite rang true and the fact that the film had to tie up all the loose ends. This is a gem of a film that is well worth seeking out for fans of independent drama.

this is my first review and i cannot be more happier to write it... the movie is astonishingly simple and beautiful.don't know why its 6.5,it should be up with 9s and 8s. well after seeing this movie i just kind of felt happy and wished we all be like these people portrayed in this movie.watched it when i was nothing to do and it took me by surprise... really sad that everybody waste money in making action packed cinema (hollywood)and shitty love stories (bollywood)while they should concentrate more on these kind of movies. really really love the movie and the theme too. one of the very best movies i have ever watched. the best.

'BEST MAN DOWN': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Emotional comedy drama film about a newlywed couple who has to deal with their best man suddenly dropping dead on their wedding night. The movie stars Justin Long and Jess Weixler as the newlyweds and Tyler Labine as Long's best man. It also co-stars Addison Timlin, Shelley Long and Frances O'Connor. The film was written and directed by Ted Koland (making his feature film directorial and writing debut). I didn't think the movie was really that funny but I did like the characters and drama they're involved in. It's also filled with decent to good performances and it's nice to see Long (Justin Long, not Shelley) taking on more serious roles (he's good at them too). Long plays Scott and Weixler plays Kristin, the two are getting married as the film begins. Labine plays Scott's best man Lumpy. Scott and Lumpy have grown apart over recent years but Lumpy has generously offered to pay for the financially strapped couple's honeymoon. Kristin is unaware of this and isn't happy with Lumpy being Scott's best man; as he's an obnoxious drunk who gets wasted at their wedding. He also drops dead that night, outside the hotel the wedding party is staying at, and Scott and Kristin have to postpone their honeymoon in order to deal with his funeral (Kristin is not happy about that either). While preparing for the funeral they find out there's a lot about Lumpy they didn't know, including a relationship he had with a 15-year-old girl named Ramsey (Timlin). Long is great in the film and Labine (like always) is extremely lovable and energetic. Weixler is good as well, she tends to play characters that are somewhat hard to like (at least at first) but she's definitely a decent actress. It's Timlin that steals the movie though. She's 21 but she definitely looks 15 in this film and her character is the most relatable and sympathetic. Like I said the drama in the film definitely works, it's a little bit of a downer but it's also inspiring and attempts to make you cherish life a little more. Not as funny as the title and cast suggests but it definitely is worth watching. Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYWAOd_o4Sk

L O V E That is really what this is all about. There are a lot of great actors in this movie. Everyone here is in it all the way. There is just one solid message, and that is that love should only be the giving, and never any of the other nonsensical things that we like to think that it is. You try making it through this movie without getting misty. These are raw well developed characters, and they are leading you with each step with their full open expressions, and those running gags. If you were a fan of Juno you will fall off your chair to watch this one again. Enjoy!
