    It's pretty good especially the actress playing Anna

    And where is her picture and bio. The actress Anna (Who is she? She looked familiar) is really good and loved her look. The portrayal of two sisters with their ups and downs was to a T. Realistic and funny, I enjoyed it very much. Low budget but, man, much better than the big budget stinkers out there free on NF and Prime. Give it a Go.

    Seriously so good!!!

    LOVED this! So many subtle, hilarious moments, and so much depth & dimension to the characters. Definitely not your typical rom-com movie. I adore how witty and brilliantly funny the writing is in this. 10/10 would recommend. A must see!!!

    Nuanced, Funny, and Creative Comedy

    Lot's of really funny scenes and dialogue. I also like how it's a nuanced perspective, where the protagonists are the Best Man and Made of Honor, the "best people", rather than the perspective of the Bride and Groom.

    Will make you laugh and cry

    So let's face it, people can be crazy and the lead actress, Anna, plays a Psycho B*tch like a CHAMP - she is so much fun and you just can not believe the stuff she tries to pull off, but then on the other hand she is going through some challenging times that really pulls at your heart strings and reminds you how fragile life is and how you should count your blessings for all the special people in your life. The character, Art, plays the perfect douchey stud, who grows on you and turns out a terrific performance - one that can make you laugh out loud when you are reminded how men think about things. Go enjoy this movie - lots of fresh actors who will keep you entertained every minute of the film!!

    Not your average wedding comedy

    The Best People is more than just a comedy. This movie has a perfect balance of witty and heartfelt moments that prove that wedding comedies don't need to be all the same. The cast was great and the characters were complex and profound, especially the protagonist Anna. She is a perfect example of a character we shouldn't like but do anyway as her flaws and struggles resonate so much with the audience. Making the film from the perspective of the best man and maid of honor was a smart writing choice and made the story more unique. Had a real pleasure watching this movie. Highly recommended!
