THE WEDDING RINGER

Plot:

With two weeks to go before his wedding to his beautiful bride to be Gretchen (Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug Harris (Gad) who is a workaholic nerd with no social life must find A best man to stand with him during the ceremony. With no options he is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Hart) of TBM Inc. (The Best Man Inc.) whose services are to be the best man for lonely guys who have no friends, which he provides in various packages. But in the case for Doug he must provide a service that has never been done before  which he calls "The Golden Tux Package", where not only will he be the best man but he will also provide the remaining group of groomsmen who turns out to be a group of mix matched misfits that only have a short time to come together as his friends for the wedding.



Reel Talk:

This is probably one of Kevin Hart's better movies. Normally he just outright takes over a movie even when he has a ton of other A list celebrities, but here he is basically the star but he balanced himself so that he didn't overshadow his co-stars. He even showed more range than just being an outrageous comedian than in his other films, he showed a more subdued side to his acting. The all star supporting cast was good with Josh Gad and even with the veteran actor , Ken Howard who was hilarious as the bride's father and  actresses Mimi Rogers as her mom and the cameo of Cloris Leachman as the grandmother, everyone lent a part in making this a funny and enjoyable movie. I recommend this movie for some good laughs, so get out and check it out.
