Doug Harris 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, Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan, 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.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This script has to have been written by an 8 year old. Both actors are generally very funny in other roles, but this is an abomination. The most far fetched unrealistic scenarios(with nothing funny to redeem them) the bachelor party, random other wedding events outside of the main plot and the closing airplane scene are just 3 examples of scenes written by writers who have never walked the earth as adults.Ridiculous and far fetched are just fine when they are funny, There is nothing funny about this movie.Avoid at all costs.

'The Wedding Ringer' has a terrible title, but actually surprised me - it was very funny! Consistently! A very simple premise: Groom-to-be has no friends, literally has to buy a Best Man, mishaps ensue. The reason this film works is down to the two very likable leads - Gad as Doug & Hart as Jimmy/Bic. They have very different comedic sensibilities, but work great together on screen - I feel this is the first time we're seeing each of them begin to reach their potential. They're both much more charming, relaxed and believable than they were, respectively, in 'Wish I Was Here' and 'Ride Along'.The script isn't terribly inventive - it's nothing not seen in 'Hitch' or 'I Love You, Man' - but it does have a great pace, a very solid cast and never gets unfunny for too long. The ending is kind-of obvious - there's a little twist - but the 10-strong support cast (including the seven hired groomsmen) makes each scene fun to watch. Some great set pieces - meeting the family for the first time, the gridiron match, the Bucks Party, the dance-prep - which let all the cast play a part.I really enjoyed this and have to give it a good rating because the film did precisely what a comedy sets out to do - make you laugh! Sure, some stupid moments, but I definitely spent the majority of the film laughing or smiling, and there's some heart thrown in to boot. I look forward to what Hart does over the coming decade...

Who doesn't like a comedy every now and then? A movie where you don't have to think about anything, just to take the weight of your feet,relax and enjoy the show. The Wedding Ringer is that kind of movie. You don't take it serious at all, and you enjoy the humor. I'm not going to say it's the best comedy ever but I had a couple of good laughs and that's enough for me to have a nice evening in front of the big screen. The chemistry between Kevin Hart and Josh Gad works perfectly well. I thought they were both funny. There are a couple of memorable scenes that make me laugh again just thinking about them. And that's what we want when we think about a comedy. So, The Wedding Ringer might not be the best ever, but it is for sure good enough to me to have a good time.
