The Wedding Ringer

About this movie

Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

Ratings and reviews

While the story may be cliche and not be unique (let's be honest, not a lot of movies are), the sheer amount of jokes and funny moments definitely made this movie worth watching to me. If you like Kevin Hart and his jokes, and want to have a couple of solid laughs, this is definitely a movie you'll want to watch.

This movie was so awful I quit watching after about 15 minutes and blew off a $6 HD rental rather than waste the time finishing. F-bombs and sex jokes are a tedious substitute for solid writing and acting skills.

4 stars for Josh Gad's singing. Had me looking like a fool on my flight I was laughing so hard. Not bad movie overall. But think you want to pay as little as possible for it.
