The Wedding Ringer [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2015]

Writer/director Jimmy Garelick and star Kevin Hart know what they have on their hands with The Wedding Ringer. It is clear from the first moment Hart shows up on screen and they wear it on their sleeve with a badge of honor. In what is essentially a mash-up of Wedding Crashers and I Love You, Man as well as any other movie you've ever seen with "wedding" in the title there is nothing innovative or unconventional about this film, but it has its laughs and that's all that really matters. With that, the film breezes through its expected beats with a care-free tone and consistent laugh factor that kept the audience I saw it with rolling (granted, they did get to see it for free). Still, this is a film that not much was initially expected of and, if anything, solidified the fact that studios were definitely trying to mold Hart into the next Adam Sandler as here the comedian is blatantly ripping on the title of Sandler's 1998 hit. Sandler is currently experiencing something of a slight drought in bankability and so the studios have moved in on who else they might turn to and Hart has proven a winning candidate so far. The man will allow them to throw together slapdash efforts of films that will turn huge profits on minuscule budgets year after year while trusting that the on-set riffs and improvisations are enough to satisfy audiences need for laughter. Yes, The Wedding Ringer is no doubt a film put together by a committee to appeal to as many people as possible and yes, it is predictable, slightly sexist with a cast of male chauvinist pigs at the core and never aspires to be more than it has to be, but in initially setting its bar so low it doesn't have as hard a time surpassing that bar. I realize this isn't high art, but it's not intended to be and so, for what it's worth, I found the film to be highly entertaining, extremely funny at parts and a raunch aspect that serves to ease the fact this is little more than a rom-com from the perspective of the fellas. The Wedding Ringer is what it is and if you buy a ticket knowing that, you'll get what you want. I wanted a mindless comedy and that's what I was given so consider me a happy customer, Mr. Hart.

we watch it and like it a lot KH at his best very funny would watch it again

great movie. Delivery was quick! Got the product when I was supposed to.

Best Buy is on top of fast shipping. Enjoyed this movie. Great laughs!!

This is actually a lot smarter than it looks from the outside. There are some very funny moments when a lonely, nerdy guy has the shocking revelation he not only has no best friend to stand beside him at the altar, he doesn't have any of the other groomsmen necessary to fill out the line required for his upcoming high-society wedding. Problem solved when he runs into the fixer of all potential wedding disasters. This professional is experienced in convincing any nuptial crowd the winner of the Biggest Loser Contest is now Groom of the Year. What he soon realizes is he's in the same spot as his clients when it comes to being sans amigos. The character arcs intersect nicely and the whole mess turns out exactly as it should. It's just fun to watch.

Awesome movie. I watched this movie at least a dozen times or more since I had it saved on my dvr. Josh Gad and Kevin Hart are a great team for an awesome comedy. I was lucky that my wife and daughter got this movie on Blu-ray, which is redone in 4k quality even though it's not an official 4k version. I definitely recommend adding this movie to your collection. I've watched it on Blu-ray a few times already in the few weeks since I received it as a gift. Never gets old, no matter how many times I've watched it. Awesome movie!!

Doug is an accountant with no friends, so when he gets engaged to Gretchen, who has 7 attendants, he is really in trouble! He finds about about a service with best man, Jimmy (Kevin Hart) and groomsmen for hire. This is over the top, even for Jimmy, who enlists 7 unsavory guys. Everyone is learning back stories and taking photos of "past friend events", but things began to unravel when Gretchen suspects that Bic Mitchum (Jimmy) sounds like a made-up name. Good comedy with a satisfying ending!

You will laugh over and over again at this hilarious movie starring Kevin Hart and Josh Gad. Everyone is at their comedic best. And the funny thing is, every time you watch it, you will pick up something you missed before. Does get a bit raunchy at times so, definitely not something to watch when the kids are up.
