Critics Consensus

Kevin Hart and Josh Gad might be two great comedians that go great together, but there's little evidence of it on display in The Wedding Ringer.

The Wedding Ringer isn't innovative, but ultimately it's a crowd-pleasing movie.

It's a ridiculous premise exploited poorly, settling instead for plenty of athlete cameos and countless astonished reaction shots.

It manages to offend on so many levels that it's genuinely remarkable.

A persistent whiff of sexism sinks this patchy comedy...

Seemed lower quality. Soundtrack was not as good either. Too many new characters that took time from plot.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I love comedy movies like this. The Wedding Ringer is a great movie — it’s a shame I didn’t watch it earlier. Despite the movie coming out ten years ago, I didn’t expect it to be that funny. The visual effects were great, and the music was really good. The only thing that didn’t stand out for me was how the movie title was presented. This probably won’t bother most people, but it stuck out to me.

Any movie with Kevin Fart is horrible and should be burned. He is not funny but loud and obnoxious. If that is what passes for humor count me out.
