While The Wedding Ringer isn’t the total waste of time that its painful trailer (and January release date) threatens, it’s also a movie whose occasional good ideas are ultimately drowned out by sloppy, contrived screenwriting. Read full review

A mostly disposable, occasionally quite funny bromance distinguished at times by its earnestness. Read full review

Vaguely more tolerable than you might expect – enjoyable, even, in sporadic bursts. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyJan 15, 2015
It's not quite a match made in heaven, but there is considerable comic chemistry between the high-octane Kevin Hart and the energy-conserving Josh Gad. A good thing since theirs is the only relationship worth watching in The Wedding Ringer. Read full review

VarietyJustin ChangJan 15, 2015
A well-cast but clumsily assembled buddy-for-hire comedy that increasingly smacks of desperation as it approaches its big-day climax. Read full review
