Socially awkward Doug Harris is two weeks from marrying the gal of his dreams, but he has a problem: He doesn't have any groomsmen for the occasion. Desperate and running out of time, Doug calls upon Jimmy Callahan, owner and operator of Best Man Inc., a company that provides attendants for friendless grooms. As Doug tries to pull off the con, a bromance unexpectedly blossoms between Jimmy and himself.

Critics Consensus

Kevin Hart and Josh Gad might be two great comedians that go great together, but there's little evidence of it on display in The Wedding Ringer.

The Wedding Ringer isn't innovative, but ultimately it's a crowd-pleasing movie.

It's a ridiculous premise exploited poorly, settling instead for plenty of athlete cameos and countless astonished reaction shots.

1/5

It manages to offend on so many levels that it's genuinely remarkable.

Though it's a hard one to recommend without a big asterisk, I found myself occasionally rapt with its overtly immature humor.

A persistent whiff of sexism sinks this patchy comedy...

This is one of the few movies I won't agree with the critics. I loved the humor and thought the chemistry between Kevin Hart and Josh Gad was fantastic! I actually was emotionally connected to their plots which may sound ridiculous for a comedy at it's core, but their one on one moments were fantastic, equally the humorous and heartfelt. The line towards the end, "The true measure of friendship is not how you feel about someone else, it's how they make you feel about yourself" has been one of my favorite quotes ever since hearing it.

Excruciatingly bad. So not funny. Frustrating.

Tonta pero Original, Un film que logra divertirte por sus hilarantes situaciones, logra hacer lucir bien a Kevin Hart y a Josh Gad, quienes no logran generar una buena actuación,Distrae de cualquier patético desenlace y punto de giro débil con cómicos momentos y chistes bien logrados.

This move was super UNEXPECTED!!! I had so much fun watching it and I couldn't believe the crazy things that were happening. I'd say this is the PG-13 Hangover, but there seems to be much more love going around. Must watch!

meet your groomsmen.. The Wedding Ringer The 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.
