Better than Expected
27 February 2016
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
