Kevin Hart said before the release of the Wedding Ringer that the film was his best work yet and after watching it I agree with him. Hart shows that he is an excellent leading man in a comedy film.

Hart shows that he is an excellent leading man in a comedy film. Josh Gad is also great, I think that Hart and Gad may be sustainable comedy stars for years to come. The movie is very funny but its also a heartwarming movie that make you realize how much you appreciate the friends in your own life. The Wedding Ringer is what you get when to add I Love You, Man and Wedding Crashers and the result is a film that will likely headline the best comedies of 2015.… Expand

The Wedding Ringer was hands down one of my favorite comedy movies in years and I honestly didn't expect that at all. From trailers I thought this was going to be the least original comedy possible, merging Hitch and The Weddings CrashersThe Wedding Ringer was hands down one of my favorite comedy movies in years and I honestly didn't expect that at all. From trailers I thought this was going to be the least original comedy possible, merging Hitch and The Weddings Crashers into a cheesy, generic plot. After actually watching the movie, while it does have some of the elements from those films, it feels authentic and original throughout. The cast is all fantastic, with Josh Gad and Kevin Hart not having to carry the film but delivering roles that could've if required. The laughs weren't as abundant as I hoped but the film doesn't rely on them in place of content. The movie is rich with content so it doesn't use cheap laughs as a crutch the way most comedies do. Instead, it builds the humor and then truly delivers incredible comedy when it wants to. The emotions in the movie feel legitimate and the plot and characters develop in a way that makes them seem real... like if you know them and can see this taking place. Bottom line, it's difficult to explain why this movie translates so well. The critics proves once again that they don't understand humor but the actual viewer reviews seem rather positive, which is where I would suggest looking to in determining whether or not to watch the movie. For me, the refreshing take on comedy, where content doesn't take a backseat to laughter but doesn't replace it either, made for a great movie worth watching.… Expand

The Good: Kevin Hart was amusing, as usual. Unlike most films featuring him, they didn't over-do it with Hart and let other actors (most notably Josh Gad) share the spotlight. Gad was great playing the straight man and the pair made for an excellent comedic duo. The more dramatic and serious elements were well done and a pleasant surprise from a film perceived as a low brow comedy. A solid premise that was a great idea going in and ended up being an amusing and solid film.

The Bad: A little predictable and you can tell very early on exactly what is going to happen in the end. There were a few scenes that were more crass than they needed to be. I don't mind crass humor, but the film was succeeding without it and the scenes felt out of place and crammed into the movie.… Expand

I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Felt like an instant classic. I would re-watch it again just to try to pick up on the jokes that I may have missed while I was laughing. Had some very unique situations.

I went to see this with four friends and we laughed the whole way through the film. While the overall storyline and ending was predictable, Kevin Hart and Josh Gad work well together as a comedic duo. A feel-good buddy comedy!

An unrestrained wacky fun comedy with comical performances from Kevin Hart and Josh Gad, it's not better than Hart's other film About Last Night but Hart shines and this is his funniest movie. Gad has ebullience and is humorous as this funnyAn unrestrained wacky fun comedy with comical performances from Kevin Hart and Josh Gad, it's not better than Hart's other film About Last Night but Hart shines and this is his funniest movie. Gad has ebullience and is humorous as this funny like able character, and is more funnier than Olaf from Frozen. Josh Gad plays Doug Harris he's socially awkward and is two weeks away from marrying the girl of his dreams Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), but he has a problem Doug can't find any groomsmen, running out of time Doug calls Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart) owner and operator at Best Man Inc, Jimmy helps friendless grooms. As Doug tries to makes this con work, an unexpected bromance sparkles between Jimmy and Doug. It's not that painfully predictable but the film makes it work, Hart once again is funny and talented even though if the material is bad Hart makes it work, he has this zest and this film shows that's he more than the hyper active character you seen in Scary Movie or Think Like A Man. Grade A-… Expand

Very funny buddy comedy. Originally written in 2002 and although it shows it might be dated writing, I still think it fulfilled all my standards for a solid buddy comedy.

Kevin Hart gave the audience a heart attack of comedy. The Wedding Ringer isn't supposed to smash Box Offices but provide the viewer with a mix of humor, good plot, and non-cliches. This movie has simply done that and above for me. Now if you're comparing this movie to any other movies like Avatar, Chappie, or Kingsman, Than you already lost the comparison. My advice is to at least get this movie on DVD or Blu-Ray if you're a humorous individual. Don't forget to look for the" Lost" reference at the end of the film as well!… Expand

A comedy about to pull off the first ever Golden Tux.

In any movie if you see a sidekick rule, that has to be the Kevin Hart. He can handle the whole movie by himself and this film is a great example. It totally surprised me, I expected itA comedy about to pull off the first ever Golden Tux.

In any movie if you see a sidekick rule, that has to be the Kevin Hart. He can handle the whole movie by himself and this film is a great example. It totally surprised me, I expected it to be an average film, but it was an awesome comedy. We have seen plenty of bride and groom and marriage related comedies, but this was a slightly different yet a fantastic treat.

I don't think it was wonderful because of the jokes alone, but unique characters and actors who performed them were brought the fine outcome. I felt like I know what's coming, but the ending was simple and smart. Like always when I like a movie a lot I hope for a sequel to come and they should make one for this as well.

It's a Kevin Hart's time as a comedian, his top box office films are all from the recent time, so he must make use of it and I am expecting his upcoming projects. This is a perfect weekend movie to have some laughs. Middle finger to the film critics. I definitely recommended it not only for the film fanatics but all. Who knows you might find it much better than the recent 'Get Hard'.
