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.

Reviews

merelyaninnuendo The Wedding RingerThe Wedding Ringer has all the clichéd recipe in it; from characters to the plot or from jokes to emotions, having said that it also has funny moments and has a great music and Kevin Hart.

sakram I am really astonished by Kevin Hart's performance in this movie, totally perfect. If it weren't for him, this movie would've been a train-wreck, believe me. He suited this movie as a whole.I laughed during this movie, many times, and it is enough for me to like, albeit not being the best movie of Kevin Hart.6.5~7/10

jtindahouse 2005's 'Hitch' starring Will Smith and Kevin James was a surprisingly big box office hit. So for another film ten years later to copy the concept makes sense. 'The Wedding Ringer' has a number of similarities to that film, mostly in terms of its two stars acting style and appearance. The problem however is that neither have close to the charisma or acting abilities or the previous two. Smith and James found a terrific chemistry and played off each other perfectly. Kevin Hart and Josh Gad on the other hand looked like they were in separate movies. They never found any common ground and were rarely able to make the audience laugh.The movie also had the potential to have some real heart with a strong ending. Instead though, it decides to throw everything out the window and leave you with what is really quite a bleak ending when you stop and think about it. A couple of good moments abound here and there. 'The Usual Suspects' spoof was brilliantly done and even gave me goosebumps, and the final line of the entire film was unquestionably the best of the lot. In between those moments though there's a lot of dull scenes that try to be either emotional or funny, and almost always fail to be either. Not a lot to see here.

Floated2 The Wedding Ringer starring Kevin Hard, and Josh Gad. The film starts out with Doug Harris (Gad) having a problem. He's about to get married to Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), but he doesn't have any friends, and therefore no best man or groomsmen. The wedding planner sniffs this out and suggests that Doug meet Jimmy Callahan (Hart), who runs a business providing services for men who need a best man. Doug, however, doesn't just need a best man: he needs a best man and a whopping seven groomsmen, something Jimmy has joked about but never executed before. The groomsmen Jimmy recruits are less than ideal, but Doug goes along with it given the circumstances. As Doug and Jimmy get to know each other – Jimmy has a strict 'This is a business arrangement, and we are not friends' policy – and as Gretchen's family gets to know Jimmy, lines get blurred.The Wedding Ringer is a solid comedy for a film released in January. As pointed out, the film delivers what one would expect and is better due to the odd yet good pairing of Kevin Hart and Josh Gad. Although it is somewhat predictable, the humor and comedic jokes do deliver
