The Best Man Holiday (2013)

As Christmas draws near, the Sullivan household reverberates with the echoes of an impending reunion. Mia Sullivan (Monica Calhoun), the heart of the home, extends an invitation via handwritten letters to their long-separated clan. The invitees include Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs) with his wife Robyn (Sanaa Lathan) who is on the brink of motherhood, Julian "Murch" Murchison (Harold Perrineau) alongside his wife Candace Sparks (Regina Hall), the charismatic Jordan Armstrong (Nia Long) and her partner Brian McDonald (Eddie Cibrian), the unpredictable Quentin "Q" Spivey (Terrence Howard), and the ever-radiant Shelby Taylor (Melissa De Sousa). Fourteen years of separation melt away as the group converges at the Sullivan residence, reigniting old bonds and stirring dormant tensions, particularly between Shelby and Candace. The cheer of the gathering masks the internal struggles of Harper, once a celebrated novelist now grappling with a debilitating writer's block, a tightening financial situation, and the mounting pressure from his publisher for a riveting new book. Harper, recently dismissed from his esteemed faculty position at New York University, hides his predicaments from Robyn, who is joyously expecting their first child after enduring years of costly fertility treatments. A ray of hope emerges when his agent proposes a biography on his estranged friend, Lance, who is on the verge of hanging up his football boots. Harper accedes, albeit hesitantly, embarking on a literary endeavor steeped in secrecy and fraught with potential repercussions. As the holiday unfolds, the reunion becomes a crucible of strained relations, hidden agendas, and personal challenges, all under the warm glow of the Christmas lights.
