I Give It A Year

When Danny, played by Stephen Merchant, gets up to give his best man’s speech, everyone expects the worst. And indeed, it is, especially when he describes the bride’s positive attributes: “She could easily be a model if it wasn’t for her nose.”

The Five-Year Engagement

Joking with the groom about his former girlfriends is all part of the fun. But that is where the joke ends. For his best man’s speech in The Five-Year Engagement, Alex Eilhauer (Chris Pratt) sings Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire, but instead of the original lyrics, lists all his friend Tom’s (Jason Segal) former girlfriends. Not a good idea.

The Wedding Singer

Hidden issues between the groom and the best man shouldn’t surface during a wedding, especially during the best man’s speech. Not for Dave Veltri (Steve Buscemi), who turns on the groom with accusations of overshadowing him.

The Hangover Part II

A best man’s speech should include some embarrassing moments for the groom. Yet in The Hangover Part II, Alan (Zach Galifianakis) turns the whole speech into one huge embarrassment.

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Four Weddings and a Funeral has become a classic for anything wedding related. In true British comedy style, all’s well that ends well. Even Charles (Hugh Grant) delivers a great best man’s speech. After a bit of fumbling, he brings it home with: “I am, as ever, in bewildered awe of anyone who makes this kind of commitment.”
