Leaving behind his girlfriend Robin (Sanaa Lathan), he heads to New York City to serve as best man for his friend Lance's wedding (Chestnut). Once there, he reunites with the rest of his college circle: the girlfriend-whipped Murch (Harold Perrineau, Jr.), the aimless Quentin (Howard, who runs away with every scene he's in), and the professionally motivated Jordan (Long), with whom Harper has always shared a mutual sexual attraction. As the weekend unfolds, each member of the group has their turn reading UNFINISHED BUSINESS, something that Harper doesn't want to happen--for reasons that eventually introduce themselves. A film that focuses on serious human issues, Malcolm D. Lee's directorial debut is a crowdpleasing success. [More]
