The Wedding Ringer Trailers

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.

To be honest i really didn't know what to expect from 'The Wedding Ringer' but it turned out to be a pretty good movie that benefits from Kevin Hart and Josh Gad who had a very good chemistry together but also a very good story that was pretty interesting. Definitely not a movie that i was expecting to enjoy but it really was very good and i'd suggest to give it a shot.

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.

Everything about this movie is bad. There is little to no character development and the whole movie seems rushed and badly written. It felt like a mash of scenes taken from other popular comedies and then ultimately tweaked making them even less funny than their counterparts.I mean I get it the writers have brought in Kevin Hart and made a familiar sounding title and a familiar sounding plot and then they've tried to cram in all of the tried and tested methods from every popular romantic comedy over the last 10 years. The main plot is a mix between the movies Hitch and I Love You Man and the family scenes feel like recreations from movies like The Wedding Crashers and Meet The Fockers and then we have the male bonding/ party scenes that are recreations of films like Old School and The Hangover. But the problem is just that, the film feels like a mash up of all of these familiar films with nothing new to offer.At first glance this movie seems to be a recipe for mainstream success but it forgets one major thing. If you're story sucks and your characters are shallow and poorly drawn then the film is going to be terrible no matter what actors you have or what popular themes and scenes from popular movies that you recreate.
