The Wedding Ringer

"I go into every movie trying to like it. I have a very low comedy threshold. I like Kevin Hart. I lamented Ride Along going straight to DVD in this country. I rented it and enjoyed it. I like Josh Gad. He was good in the underrated sex addiction movie Thanks For Sharing. I can easily get onboard with a ridiculous movie conceit."

"Increasingly smacks of desperation as it approaches its big-day climax."

"Takes the shortest route whenever possible, which usually means a gratuitous insult."

"The film’s lazy reliance on distraction extends to keeping its female lead underwritten and unsympathetic."

"Too often the filmmakers go for cheap shots."

"A certain derivative, deja-vu quality isn’t the only sin this lazy, numbingly routine, very occasionally amusing comedy commits."

"One insidious issue with the film though is its repulsive chauvinism."
