From best friends to best men. 

Lots of guys have second thoughts about marriage, but three hours before his wedding, Roland (Taye Diggs) is having third, fourth, and fifth thoughts. Good thing he's got best buddies Slim (Richard T. Jones) and Mike (Omar Epps) around to help sort those feelings out—and to remember their coming-of-age days in "The Wood" (Inglewood, CA). From the big dance to first love, the rites of passage that are part of everyone’s adolescence are winningly chronicled in this unforgettable tale of laughs and friendship that's set to the most memorable musical grooves of the '80s.

ABOUT BROOKLINE FOR THE CULTURE

Brookline For the Culture began as a local group in 2020, focusing on social awareness and community action in the form of the first Juneteenth in Brookline, MA. It has quickly become recognized as an empowered collection of leaders—engaging with more and more people, adding more and more supporters, and amplifying more and more voices. Brookline For the Culture leads campaigns that promote real solutions to some of the biggest challenges faced by society. It challenges the notion that the way things are is the way things should always be, and is proud to be a force for positive transformation.
