Best Man Down is an American comedy drama starring Justin Long and Jess Weixler.
How well do we really know our friends?
When their obnoxious and over-served best man, Lumpy (Tyler Labine) unexpectedly dies at their destination wedding in Phoenix, bride and groom Kristin (Jess Weixler) and Scott (Justin Long) are forced to cancel their honeymoon and fly home to the snowy Midwest to arrange for his funeral.
But getting Lumpy's body back to Minneapolis is just the start of their adventure, as the well-intended sacrifice surprises at every turn. And when the newlyweds path leads them to a fifteen year-old girl (Addison Timlin) in a small, northern Minnesota town all bets are off on who Lumpy really was.

- " Best Man Down strikes a blissful tonal mix that turns one man's death into another man's enlightening journey, as both Justin Long and Tyler Labine flex their dramatic acting muscles. " – Matt Donato (We Got This Covered)
- " An indie comedy that seems good enough but never left me feeling I had to see it. " – Dennis Schwartz (Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews)
