NOTES Watching this film is like walking across ice, you're never sure your next step won't leave you flat on your back. Audiences don't like uncertainty unless it's who's going to get killed next.

They want to know if a film is a comedy, a romance or

something we might have to take seriously.

Four men dressed in dinner jackets are on their way to a

wedding and one is the groom. En route one of them goes

into a bank. Our minds register cash dispenser but no he's

there to rob the bank. Another goes in to see what is the

delay and he too gets involved. In the end they're all involved

and the bride comes along to. A suitably spaced out Drew

Barrymore.

The cops arrive, the F.B.I. stops by and takes charge. The

son of the sheriff is one of the wedding guests and there's a

father-son tete-a- tete from opposite sides of the street, guns

drawn. The hole "The Best Men" are in gets deeper and

deeper. The F.B.I. are the baddies who want to kill the

hostage takers.

Among the hostages is Brad Dourif doing his misunderstood

'madman'. He's a Vietnam Vet who is still living on the edge

of his nerves. (He also has a problem with his right arm).

Anyone who started the film with his brain wound up might

have guessed what was to come when the bridegroom is

picked up at the gates of a prison.
