Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “In ‘The Wedding Ringer,” Jimmy (Hart) provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who—for whatever reason—have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward (loner), groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. To make matters worse, Doug (Gad) fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy. The charade designed to make Doug look his best threatens to destroy everything if it fails.”

I was, also, really disappointed in the film’s primary cast members for being okay with it. Being party to it. Now, it colors my good opinion of them. They, no longer, are as entertaining as I once thought they were. Who the heck thinks like this. And who the heck is okay with letting that thinking hit cable TV. I fear this envelope has been pushed into the land of acceptable prat fall and potty humor and oversexed under served in her face screen writers. It’s a miserable thing to have to contemplate. The what’s next for companion animals and human sex. I think, if you agree with me, we need to put a stop to this type of animal abuse now; before it becomes as common as criminals.”
