They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star.

Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe.

Who doesn't like a comedy every now and then? A movie where you don't have to think about anything, just to take the weight of your feet,relax and enjoy the show. The Wedding Ringer is that kind of movie. You don't take it serious at all, and you enjoy the humor. I'm not going to say it's the best comedy ever but I had a couple of good laughs and that's enough for me to have a nice evening in front of the big screen. The chemistry between Kevin Hart and Josh Gad works perfectly well. I thought they were both funny. There are a couple of memorable scenes that make me laugh again just thinking about them. And that's what we want when we think about a comedy. So, The Wedding Ringer might not be the best ever, but it is for sure good enough to me to have a good time.

In any movie if you see a sidekick rule, that has to be the Kevin Hart. He can handle the whole movie by himself and this film is a great example. It totally surprised me, I expected it to be an average film, but it was an awesome comedy. We have seen plenty of bride and groom and marriage related comedies, but this was a slightly different yet a fantastic treat.I don't think it was wonderful because of the jokes alone, but unique characters and actors who performed them were brought the fine outcome. I felt like I know what's coming, but the ending was simple and smart. Like always when I like a movie a lot I hope for a sequel to come and they should make one for this as well.It's a Kevin Hart's time as a comedian, his top box office films are all from the recent time, so he must make use of it and I am expecting his upcoming projects. This is a perfect weekend movie to have some laughs. Middle finger to the film critics. I definitely recommended it not only for the film fanatics but all. Who knows you might find it much better than the recent 'Get Hard'.7½/10

I've seen Kevin Hart's stand up routines. Hilarious.I've seen Kevin Hart's T.V. program "Real Husbands of Hollywood". Also Hilarious.I saw Kevin Hart in one movie, "Ride Along." Boooooo. To be fair, it may have been Ice Cube's fault but when Kevin starts blabbering and ranting aimlessly it is not funny to me.On to "The Wedding Ringer." Very funny. Kevin Hart was funny as was Josh Gad, but part of the reason I think it was funny is that it had a purpose. The jokes and even physical humor were woven into the script nicely and made sense. They weren't just an effort to showcase Kevin Hart's comedic ability.They delivered some very solid jokes while trying to prepare Doug Harris (Josh Gad) to get married. And it didn't fall into the sappy love story that romantic comedies fall into. For that I give them extra props.
