The Wedding Ringer

Kevin Hart is a very talented comedian.

For someone who has as much presence and range as the best of them, it’s a shame to see him involved in this lacklustre production. At least he can use the film as a springboard to get noticed, but The Wedding Ringer will forever be an embarrassing, forgettable blot on his IMDb profile.

Doug Harris (played by Josh Gad) is a dorky businessman who can’t believe his luck when the beautiful Gretchen Palmer (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting) agrees to marry him. While planning the wedding, Harris has no idea what to do about finding a best man and groomsmen as he has no friends to ask, but catches wind of Jimmy Callahan (Hart) who has a successful business as a conman who hires himself out as a best man, convincing friends and family that the groom is in fact not a “friendless loser” for a generous paycheck. Callahan is very good at playing the part of Doug’s old best friend ‘Bic Mitchum’ to Palmer’s family, and Callahan shows Doug how much fun life can be when spent with friends. Callahan has to harshly remind Harris that their relationship is strictly professional as the wedding looms closer and closer.

Watch only for Hart’s hilarious performance as the charming ‘Wedding Ringer’.
