Mjeteconer Just perfect...

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

jtindahouse 2005's 'Hitch' starring Will Smith and Kevin James was a surprisingly big box office hit. So for another film ten years later to copy the concept makes sense. 'The Wedding Ringer' has a number of similarities to that film, mostly in terms of its two stars acting style and appearance. The problem however is that neither have close to the charisma or acting abilities or the previous two. Smith and James found a terrific chemistry and played off each other perfectly. Kevin Hart and Josh Gad on the other hand looked like they were in separate movies. They never found any common ground and were rarely able to make the audience laugh.The movie also had the potential to have some real heart with a strong ending. Instead though, it decides to throw everything out the window and leave you with what is really quite a bleak ending when you stop and think about it. A couple of good moments abound here and there. 'The Usual Suspects' spoof was brilliantly done and even gave me goosebumps, and the final line of the entire film was unquestionably the best of the lot. In between those moments though there's a lot of dull scenes that try to be either emotional or funny, and almost always fail to be either. Not a lot to see here.

EBJ Overall: The movie is funny, feel good and I would recommend it.Good:*Very Funny*All the cast have great chemistry*Plot is well written but can be easy to predict*It's a very feel good movieBad: *The music is a bit bland and misplaced at times*The original bride is forgettable and boring *Only a few groomsmen are memorable and have good personalities but are all unique *The plot is easy to predictBest Part: The dance scene between Josh Gad and Kevin Hart is hilarious and incredibly well done.8/10

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.

view_and_review I've seen Kevin Hart's stand up routines. Hilarious.I've seen Kevin Hart's T.V. program "Real Husbands of Hollywood". Also Hilarious.I saw Kevin Hart in one movie, "Ride Along." Boooooo. To be fair, it may have been Ice Cube's fault but when Kevin starts blabbering and ranting aimlessly it is not funny to me.On to "The Wedding Ringer." Very funny. Kevin Hart was funny as was Josh Gad, but part of the reason I think it was funny is that it had a purpose. The jokes and even physical humor were woven into the script nicely and made sense. They weren't just an effort to showcase Kevin Hart's comedic ability.They delivered some very solid jokes while trying to prepare Doug Harris (Josh Gad) to get married. And it didn't fall into the sappy love story that romantic comedies fall into. For that I give them extra props.
