BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

sakram I am really astonished by Kevin Hart's performance in this movie, totally perfect. If it weren't for him, this movie would've been a train-wreck, believe me. He suited this movie as a whole.I laughed during this movie, many times, and it is enough for me to like, albeit not being the best movie of Kevin Hart.6.5~7/10

lisafordeay The Wedding Ringer is a 2015 romantic comedy starring Josh Gad,Kevin Hart and Kaley Cucco and tells the story of a shy man named Doug(Josh Gad who I swear to god reminds me of Jack Black and Mark Ruffalo for some strange odd reason)who is set to get married to the woman of his dreams played by Cucco. But there is a problem with Doug as he is an introvert who has zero friends. So he hires a guy called Jimmy Callaghan played by Kevin Hart who poses as his BFF and Groomsman for Doug's big day. But how long can the fascade hold on for?Overall this is a decent flick. Im not really a fan of Josh Gad's to be honest but he was funny in this film alongside Kevin Hart(who is the new Chris Tucker may I add). The twist I did not see coming as it reminded me of The Break Up and Paper Towns. But yeah I say if you like Gad and Hart then check it out.

Prismark10 In The Wedding Ringer Jason Gad plays chubby, nerdy Doug Harris, a successful tax attorney about to marry a woman who he thinks is out of his league, pretty blonde Gretchen.While Gretchen and her family are pouring over every detail of the wedding with their campy wedding planner, Doug realises he is in trouble. He does not have a best man, no groomsmen and his attempts to ring old acquaintances has proved to be fruitless.With the wedding less than ten days away, the wedding planner sends him to see Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart). He is the best man for hire. He can plan your bachelor party, be your best friend, deliver a cracking toast and after he is paid, he leaves.For Doug he has to deliver the impossible, the Golden Tux package and get seven groomsmen together as well as attending to the wedding preparations.The film is mildly amusing although predictable. Hart and Gad have a good chemistry, a bromance as you can see in the dance sequence in that wedding they attend to observe a terrible best man speech. It becomes clear as the film goes along that Doug's bride to be is a little shallow and may not be totally in love with him. The seven groomsmen look like a bunch of misfits and no way would Doug be friends with any of them.However Doug is a nice, caring guy. With his brief time with Jimmy he realises that he wants more in his relationship and wants the right woman.The film ends with a plane ride and a killer line from the fat guy from Lost!

Ed-Shullivan The Wedding Ringer is not a "knock your socks off comedy" but it is capable of standing up against any of the premiere comedies of the past decade. I would compare it to the same comedy vein as The Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up, and/or Bridesmaids. What I really enjoyed was every scene that Kevin Hart and/or Kaley Cuoco were slotted in because they are just so naturally impressive comedic actors. Kevin Hart plays the "Have great speech for hire Best Man" who knows how to impress a groom's newlywed wife and mother-in-law since everyone knows a wedding is always focused on the bride and the bride's mother. Make them happy and everyone will think the groom is wonderful! Kaley Cuoco plays Gretchen Palmer the needy and soon to be rich wife of a faceless and nerdy successful lawyer whose father owns the firm he works at. I would have to say though that I dropped my rating of this film for the selection of Josh Gad as the friendLESS groom Doug Harris. I would have loved to see the deceased John Candy in this lead role but due to his death making him unavailable I really think Kevin James, Matthew Broderick, Luke Wilson or even Woody Harrelson would have been much better casted as the hapless groom than Josh Gad was. In my view Josh just does not possess that "IT" comedy factor that raises the bar throughout a comedy film. Instead the director Jeremy Garelick (who also is credited for the writing of the screenplay) stooped to lowering the comedy bar by utilizing the old gag of having a dog lick peanut butter from the grooms privates as he is blindfolded and assuming a very pretty Russian woman is doing the gorging on his peanut butter balls. The last 20 minutes of a film can sometimes make or break a film and fortunately for the producers of this film The Wdding Ringers ended on a high note with a much needed Feel-Good ending. Sprinkled throughout the film are great supporting roles such as Jennifer Lewis (who currently plays Grandma on the hit comedy series Blackish), Cloris Leachman the tireless actress who is enjoying her eighth decade of outstanding film performances, Ken Howard, Jorge Garcia, and even cameo appearances by NFL Hall of Famers QB Joe Namath, DE Too Tall Ed Jones, and RB John Riggins engaged in a riotous game of mud football against the groom and his band of hired groomsmen.All in all this is a light hearted and fun film that Mrs. Shullivan and I both enjoyed. As any wife will tell you, who doesn't enjoy a light hearted wedding theme comedy? I give Wedding Ringer's a 7 out of 10 rating. It is well worth the watch.
