THE WEDDING RINGER

(2015) 101 Minutes, Rated R

Mike's Review: This movie was a riot. I laughed just about all the way through. This is the first movie I really liked Kevin Hart in.  He was way better in this movie than he was in Ride Along.

Also in this movie was Josh Gad.  I have liked him as an actor ever since I saw him for the first time in 21.  I also like the part he played in The Internship and for you trivia types he is also the voice of Olaf from the movie Frozen.

Overall I think the two made a good pair for this movie.  The story was good, the characters were pretty good and the humor was awesome.  It would be interesting to see if they try to do a sequel to this one, because its not doing to bad on the money side, it has almost made triple what it cost to make it and studios tend to like that.

Best Scene:  There were a ton of funny scenes, Grandmother catching on fire, attempted kidnapping, and the bachelor party to name a few.

Mike's Rating: Worth the price of the ticket..

Bean's Review: Fairly good light-hearted comedy.  Josh Gad’s character, Doug, is in need of a best man and groomsmen for his upcoming nuptials to Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting’s character, Gretchen.  The pairing of these two characters is reminiscent of the Big Bang Theory’s pairing of Penny and Leonard.

  

Kevin Hart’s character, Jimmy, has a business that provides best man services, amongst other benefits, to prospective grooms.  Interesting concept and perhaps a worthwhile business pursuit.

Doug hires Jimmy and the resulting storyline has some laughable bits, as well as more serious, introspective bits.

Best scene:  When Gretchen’s grandmother, played by Cloris Leachman, who is a hoot, catches on fire

Bean’s rating:  DVD
