long time and really didn't expect much from this movie because we ended up in the theater by luck. The movie we originally intended to see had sold out and through word of mouth of people exiting this movie, everyone we talked to came out smiling and recommended checking this out. It's always the one movie you never expect to like, you end up loving the most. The movie opens with Josh Gad looking for a best man after realizing his fiancé has planned an extravagant wedding using lots of bridesmaids. Unfortunately, while he's a successful tax attorney, he's also an unpopular loser with no friends. Enter the man of the hour, Kevin Hart, a hilarious pal to the pal-less. For the right price, he can make you look like a superhero to your fiancé, her family, and anyone else lucky enough to be in your presence. Sort of like an I Love You Man, but with better and more colorful characters, the audience I saw this with laughed so hard at times I couldn't hear the next scene. Kevin Hart has been a roll of late with Ride Along, and in here, he's actually funnier and original, but it's not just him. Josh Gad is flipping hilarious and reminded me a lot of the physical humor of the late, great Chris Farley. The supporting cast of stuttering stud, mullet manic depressive, and Asian with a third testicle, will keep you rolling on the floor with laughter. Be on the lookout for cameos by Joe Namath and Ed "Too Tall" Jones in a funny pick up game of football. Above all, I rate this movie a perfect 10, because it's funny, surprisingly refreshing, and a comedy that actually makes you laugh.

SPOILER ALERT!!!! Yes the black guy gets the white girl at the end! Which black guy you ask? Well for that answer, you're going have to watch it to find out for yourself! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, oh and try not to eat or drink during the film.

where Jorge Garcia was a survivor of a plane crash and this perfectly tied into the series! An example of a great director and a great movie!

way possible. If you are or were an Adam Sandler fan when he was in his prime, and you enjoyed his wild, moody eruptions, and peculiar, sporadic, behavior, then I think you will agree after viewing this film that Kevin Heart can definitely relate. This isn't the kind of comedy to sit down with your family and watch due to the strong language in certain scenes, and moderate nudity but, if you like raw, oddball comedies, with non-stop "laugh out loud" punchlines, then this movie will suit you perfectly. Grab some popcorn and a drink, get you better half to sit down with you and make it a date night. This one will really bring out the good spirits as you will both be laughing uncontrollably throughout this whole flick. ENJOY!!!

professional Movie rater because I am getting outraged over the fact that Focus got a better rating. Keep in mind I thought the movie Her was creepy and awkward and they got 94% on rotten tomatoes. Only the really artsy people would maybe enjoy that movie, or the super creepy? OK maybe I won't go that far. - Have I hit 10 Lines yet? Yes I have.

personally came to see this movie as I expected to get a few laughs from it, which I did and more. Kevin Hart overall I find to be a great actor/comedian. This movie is a good movie to go see but be advised there are curse words so if children are brought just be aware. Overall a great movie and my and I would most definitely watch the movie again.

But it doesn't matter everything else is perfect. You will not get disappointed in watching this movie, it will leave you with a big big smile on your lips.

laugh. I enjoyed it and can't wait for my wedding day.

modern comedies where one or two jokes are the focus of our characters, with little divergence. Often this involves getting drunk off their rockers, getting high, or sexual situations that are a bit too on display. The Wedding Ringer for the most part manages to break from that mold and instead craft a film that is filled with a variety of laughs. Throughout the entire movie, fans will get their fill of funny, albeit simple gags that include situational comedy, alcoholic antics, environmental, and so many other styles that I don't have room to detail them all. Putting on a fake best man relationship I thought would have been stupid, and at times it is, but the concept is a bit of a change from the normal comedy film. The convoluted steps to pulling off the golden tux are presented like a master crime film, with planning, props, and coordination that pokes at the dramatic nature of those films. Injecting humor into the ridiculous team assembled, which if the looks don't get you, their qualities will. Even better is that the movie keeps things mixed up with the unifying lie of the "friendship" that is present. At one point we are pulling off fake trips only to transition into lying about a character's background before going to plan another component of the lie. It keeps it fresh, fun, and entertaining through the whole movie, and has the 101-minute runtime flying by. There almost wasn't a part I was laughing at, especially at the wittier jokes that reference a lot of popular culture. Of course stupidity is all in good fun, but in order to be relevant, make sense, and truly maximize the humor you need a story. Now the trailers for me made this story look like a simplistic tale that was just going to be bad like Let's Be Cops . Surprisingly though, and maybe this was due to low expectations, the tale impressed me more than I thought. The fake wedding planning is of course the main medium to which the comedy is brought out, but as the movie proceeds, you get to see a developing relationship between our two protagonists. For a guy like me, the issues each character had are relevant, especially in the desire for a real friend who wants to hang out with you for just being you. That morale is the strongest lesson of the bunch, and while sometimes a little preachy, avoids the overdramatic monologues that life lessons in film have become. Integrating character developing moments with this relationship, as well as into the comedy, further maximized the emotion surrounding this genre. I repeat that the story is not unique, and a little drawn out at times, but the more serious moments keep the comedy grounded to reset for the next wave of laughs. If you haven't guessed yet, the unifying force of my two previous paragraphs are the characters, who are only brought to life by the actors portraying them. So why don't we talk about them? Kevin Hart, the mad man of comedic craziness, is back in all his ridiculousness. In my previous reviews you'll know that Kevin's mindless screaming and tougher than all attitude gets old for me after a while. Fortunately, this movie provides a break from the stale ridiculousness that some of his parts have been. The role of Jimmy has added some suave to his character to make the lies and idiotic things he does not as in your face. Kevin actually has some clever lines, and his delivery was much better for me, focusing more on the timing and delivery, than the volume of his screams. For once I could actually understand everything he stood, a rare feat for the man. An added bonus is that his character was actually serious as well, again balancing the disproportionate insanity and providing a character I could actually latch on to. Josh Gad as well did a great job playing his stereotypical nerd role he has made famous. The shy and quiet nature seems to come natural to him, and the desires to break out of that shell must have been a goal of his for some time now. Many will find his bad luck, klutziness, and social awkwardness to be hilarious, and seeing his pathetic attempts to be normal had me in a laughing fit for most of the film. Of course the real magic comes from the chemistry between these two, and how effortless they are in blending with their supporting cast. You feel part of a brotherhood with these two, and the adventure they bring us on is not only fun, but also heartwarming at times. Wedding Ringer is not very original, but I had a lot of fun for the film. With the diverse comedy, the relatable character, and the good chemistry it has a lot of elements that will keep you entertained. Despite how predictable it is, I feel most will enjoy the film for what it is, especially those looking for a break from the mass produced milieu that the comedy genre has become. I'm encouraging all to give this film a shot in the theater and wish you as many laughs as what I had last night with it.
